18 Health Organisations In the Chapter + Health is one of the primary concerns of all the governments of the world. They strive to take steps individually at the national level as well as collectively at the global level to safeguard the health interests of their people. This chapter is aimed at familiarising the students with two main organisations, namely the Red Cross and WHO 18.1 COMMON HEALTH PROBLEMS IN INDIA India is a vast country. It has highly diverse geographical and climatic conditions. Its population is distributed in broadly five types of habitations: 1. Big cities. These have multi-storeyed buildings, too many vehicles, heavily burdened water supply and sewage systems, some with lots of industries, either inside the township or outside. 2. Small towns. Not so crowded. 3. Villages. Small population, agriculture based; dairies, poultry farming, cottage industries, etc. are the main sources of livelihood. 4 Remote areas. Tribal people, mostly thriving on forests and forest products; neither proper drinking water nor any medical facility is available. 5. Slum-dwellings. Slums and thuggi-Ihompris are a common sight at all places specially on the outskirts of big cities. Unhealthy, unhygienic conditions prevail in them. Health problems. The health problems differ in each kind of habitation However, we may generalise them as follows: (A) Food and water-borne disenses. Several diseases specially diarrhoea, gastroenteritis, typhoid, dysentery, are very common in areas deficient in proper water supply At many places, water from hand pumps and other sources is contaminated At certain places, harmful mineral contents in water obtained through wells or hand-pumps cause health problems. Untreated sewage or effluents from industries poured into rivers and other water bodies harm the people living alongside. (B) insect and air-borne diseases. The public in general, and specially the uneducated village folk, are not conscious of the flies which alight on exposed food stuff and contaminate them Lack of general cleanliness leads to breeding of houseflies, mosquitoes, and other insects which cause diseases. Extra: Not in syllabus CATEGORIES OF HEALTH ORGANISATIONS Every country is concerned about the health and well-being of its people. For achieving this goal, several kinds of organisations have been working at different levels. We can broadly classify them into three categories on the basis of the level at which they work A Local bodies B. National organisations C. International organisations LOCAL BODIES All cities, towns and even the larger villages 189
