The Truth about Universal Health Care
April 7th, 2008 -- Posted in Health Food, Health care | 1 Comment »The idea of universal health care suggests that there would be adequate and affordable health insurance and health care facilities for each individual, irrespective of their financial status, sex or the region they hail from. In some European countries like Germany, UK and certain South American countries such systems backed by sound affordable health insurance policies, health care facilities like hospitals, drug and health food stores, health clinics, timely vaccination camps for children and detailed medical examinations for the elderly have already been put into place. This is however not the case as far as third-world nations are concerned – already grappling with financial, food and medical problems the problem is further aggravated because of lack of education and awareness about health and diseases. The other major issue in these parts of the world is a lack of awareness about women’s health. Government, private bodies and NGO’s therefore need to join hands to educate the common man about the importance of women’s health, and the availability of food and medicine at the health food stores and the dispensaries. Malnutrition, thyroid, arthritis, cancer are severe life-crippling illnesses that women face, and as such it is the duty of every government to enforce universal health care systems where through greater communication and co-operation between health professionals and people a happy and healthy nation would emerge.
