Health care in India is much better
The causes of poor health for millions people globally are rooted in political, social and economic injustices.
Poverty is both a cause and a consequence of poor health. Poverty increases the chances of poor health. Poor health, in turn, traps communities in poverty.
Infection and neglected tropical diseases kill and weaken millions of the poorest and most vulnerable people each year. Likewise noncommunicable diseases can also have a major economic impact in people below poverty line.
Inspite of this, in many countries health indicators are improving in many aspect . The average lifespan is increasing above 65 in many countries in recent years.
Economic influences on health can be overcome by free and insurence based health services .
In India, world ĺargest our Prime minister Modi 's Ayushman Bharat health insurence scheme saved many familes from health related death and disabilities .
In India free health services in rural and urban areas , improving the health of many poor population .
Polio and smallbox were eradicated from india.
Noon meal scheme in India particularly in the State of Tamilnadu for school children is improving our children 's nutritional status .
In Tamilnadu almost 100% hospital based deliveries has reduced the infant mortality rate less than 16 per 1000 live birth and aiming to reach single digit IMR by 2023.
So Goverment polices and public involvement in any level can help poor, refugees , children, women, elders and even transgenders from the health related morbidities and mortalities .
Poor and refugees should not be neglected in health care .
Take care of the health of poor with humanity .
