HEYA MATE,

HERE IS UR ANSWER.

Thanks for asking this question.

A healthy population is the engine behind sustainable economic growth. For India, the health of its population must be central to the agenda for its government, business leaders and communities. Why?

Firstly, an unhealthy population is expensive. It increases government expenditure, reduces the amount of taxable household income due to ill people falling out of the workforce and, through increased morbidity rates, it also increases rates of early retirement (with additional costs incurred by social support systems and families).

Secondly, an unhealthy population is a liability for business, and the Indian business community knows it. This fact is highlighted in a survey (part of the health report) which indicates that there is near-universal concern among Indian business executives – between 94% (2013) and 97% (2010) – over the five-year impact of one or more non-communicable disease (NCDs).

Thirdly, investing in healthy populations pays off for businesses, governments, communities and (most importantly) individuals. Primary prevention of NCDs through early screening and effective healthcare infrastructure has numerous benefits. Interventions that focus on screening (in the case of hypertension), vaccination (in the case of human papillomavirus), reduced tobacco use and treatment of depression and anxiety disorders are particularly promising.
