💡 What is Community Health?

Community Health refers to the healthcare delivery system aimed at improving the well-being of local populations through preventive, promotional, and primary care services. It emphasizes disease prevention, health education, and early intervention, especially in rural and underserved areas.

👩‍⚕️ Why is Community Health Important in India?

• 🏘️ India’s vast rural population often lacks access to timely medical care

• 🦠 Rising burden of preventable diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and infections

• 🧠 Need for mental health awareness and support in communities

• 📢 Lack of awareness on hygiene, nutrition, and maternal-child care

By investing in community health education, we train professionals who serve as lifelines for public health systems.
