The Threat of Armed Conflicts and the Impact of Health Care Services

Any country, no matter how big or small, is known by its people. The population signifies the existence of a country. The structure of the population determines the economic, social and political growth of the nation. A country can’t progress if its citizens are not sound economically, socially, politically and most important of all physically. Healthy masses lead to a healthy nation. Like any other necessity, good health is a basic requirement for hoi polloi who lead to a healthy economy. For the achievement of soundness of health of the masses, a country needs a sound and active health care system seeking to obtain longevity of lives, precluding sickness and promoting health services. The World Health Organization defines health as not only the absence of disease but also the presence of social well being, and physical and mental health.A health care system of a country is nothing but a structure where people, institutions etc join hand in hand to render good health service to the needy. Different countries have different health care systems having different kinds of organizational structures. They can be a constitution of private or public bodies or trusts aiming to ameliorate the health condition of the population. They send out their support even to the rural areas, sometimes free of cost. In a developing country like India where per capita income is low and a huge segment of the population is below the poverty line, medical facilities are extended free of cost to the people who need it. There are various plans and schemes chalked out to attain such objectives in various countries.
