Health is an important component that affects the population and in turn impacts the overall growth and development of the country. Despite improvement in the health, medical facilities, decline in the infant mortality rate, increase in life expectancy rate, health continues to remain matter of concern because:

a. The per capita calorie consumption is much below the recommended levels and malnutrition effects a large percentage of our
population.
b. Safe drinking water and basic amenities are available to only one third of the rural population.
c. Poor nutritional standards especially among girls is  a matter of concern.
d. In the last few years , innumerable diseases have affected the population like Swine flu, cancer, Aids, heart diseases, obesity among children, which certainly calls for greater awareness among the people and action on part of the government.
