PUBLIC HEALTH COMMUNITY
An integrated notion of health comprises the social, economic, psychological and environmental well-being of its community and the citizens.
An individual’s health is a product of their environment. Solely, a robust and healthy populace is one which encompasses multiple dimensions such as education, secure and healthy dormitory, productive employment, physical bustle, and nutrition. Unhealthy communities are liable to invite ailments, such as cancer, diabetes, and heart diseases. The health of the communities is imperative to the growth and development of the region.
Vital for health include: peace, shelter, education, food, stable income, a vibrant and sustainable eco-system, social justice and equity. Towards this objective, a healthy populace continually constructs and enhances the positive environment vital for health so that all citizens of the populace move toward the broad definition of health.
Insecure and substandard dormitory puts one’s life at danger such as illness or accident. Studies have exhibited that asthma rates are greater for children living in substandard housing.
The network between employment and health has been well documented. Adequate employment is generally a prerequisite for healthcare and being socially active and productive.
Physical fitness and weight management are important components for the prevention of diseases and for improvements in overall health
The way we design and build communities affects our physical and mental health. When people can walk, bike or roll where they need to go because of supportive infrastructure — like associated, well-maintained sidewalks and bike-friendly routes — car traffic decreases, and that can improve air aspect and respiratory health. When children live in dormitory that do not contain asthma triggers, they are better able to grow and develop in a healthy environment.
We believe everyone deserves healthy communities. Those are communities where everyone has an affordable, secure home, healthy food and decision makers include health and equity considerations when making policy decisions.
