Health is wealth.Evidences at every turn one takes proves this to be true.A healthy man/woman works with assured strides of steps.Howbeit, such person could not be said to be free of any presence of disease, aches and virus in his body system.But he knows that he is healthy to pursue his daily businesses and catch up with appointments.He is fit to contribute productivitly to the socio-economic growth of the nation.
A healthy people make a properous nation. So that when a sound and a health care delivery programme, beginning at the grassroot is streamlined, the people feel comfortable to have been intergrated into government main stream programme.Doing otherwise, would scuttle the expected national properity.
Rural health care centers are built to cater for the primary health care needs of the the rural dwellers.This is where the village people live. They make up the greater number of the nation's population.When a village man is incapacitated by the stroke of ill health, his fate hangs in a balance.The first remediation conceived by such ill health affected village man is to consult the traditional doctor .
He does this because he is financially poor. Can not afford the orthodox medicine and the services provided by the clinic.This is the understanding,no doubt, that has made the state government to establish the health centers.The medical services provided there are to be subsidized to make health care accessible to the people.
The rural communities are distance from the urban cities where medical services are said to be handy ,with a larger number of health practitioner available.In times of health emergency at the rural communities,it will be cumbersome for such sickness afflicted person to go through the pains of beating the transportation hundles or the communication difficulties to access medical service.
Most rural health centers are increasing becoming less functional.Not only because of the poor work attitude of the personnel but also for the fact that the supervisory authority shelf their responsibilties.By this, health care delivery continued to deteriorate. Drugs are almost always unavailable under the scarcity sydrome.This is a severe setback.The scarcity of drugs is however a common syndrome in clinics and hospitals.This has contributed to largely to the low status of public hospitals seen as glorified diagnosing centers.More of this article is found on www.tamunobarabi.world.press.com
