Common health problems in society:

Health issues not only affect individuals, families and communities but also affect the well-being and development of people in India and the world as a whole.

5. Population issues.


6. Welfare issues related to economy, educational opportunities and standard of living,


Communicable Diseases:


.💥Deaths in India are becoming more and more visible. Communicable Diseases account for over 50 cases of disease.


.💥However, these deaths are preventable where people live in the same environment and in close proximity from one patient to another. Until all these diseases are eradicated or at least brought under control, we must unite and continue to fight against these diseases.


.💥Since independence, eliminate these vector-borne diseases through five-year plans. A lot of action plans have been implemented to control but there is still a lot to be done.

.💥The biggest killers of smallpox and plague have been eradicated but we must be aware of the danger of their reappearance.


.💥Deaths from cholera and typhoid fever are now very rare and these diseases are no longer a problem but special attention should be given to the prevention of these diseases.


.💥The malaria eradication program has a problem. The war on mosquito eradication continues even as mosquitoes with insecticide resistance are produced. Filariasis is also something to watch out for. Because it is more common in India. It is in many parts


.💥Diarrheal-related diseases are still a major health problem, especially among young children. The war against these must continue on all fronts including environmental cleanliness, malnutrition, poverty and ignorance.


.💥Tuberculosis is still a front-line problem even with the National Tuberculosis Control Program in place, and more effort needs to be put into identifying patients at an early stage and ensuring that they receive proper treatment until the disease is cured.


.💥Leprosy is another major health problem due to societal blame and ignorance about the disease, although free treatment is available, many people try to hide their disease and do not seek treatment and become homeless beggars.


.💥Many others begin treatment. But does not continue. Much more needs to be done in sensitizing people about this, integrating the leprosy control program with general health work and ensuring that people in the early stages of the disease are identified and treated thoroughly.


.💥Rabies, a disease known as water-aversion disease, kills more than one lakh people in India every year. Ten lakh people are bitten by dogs and other animals. They get anti-rabies treatment. A national plan is needed to control this problem.

.💥Ranjanni disease is followed by major health problems. This leads to many unnecessary complications especially among newborns.


.💥Tetanus Toxoid Immunization The entire population should be protected, at least pregnant women, infants and children should be immunized.


.💥Diphtheria kills many young children causing But the presence of this disease may not be detected.


.💥All children should be immunized. Poliomyelitis is a serious and widespread health problem. It has now been eradicated across India. However, continuous monitoring is required. Other important health problems include sexually transmitted diseases, viral hepatitis and trachoma.


.💥HIV is a very microscopic virus that directly attacks the white cells in the human blood, leading to a decrease in the body's immunity and many diseases. In this two types of viruses such as HIV I and HIV 2 mostly lead to disease.


1. Malaria:


Introduction to Disease:


.💥Malaria is transmitted by the parasite Plasmodium through the female Anopheles mosquito.


.💥In the initial phase, 75 million people were affected by the disease.


.💥In 1880, Laverne, a French scientist, first discovered Plasmodium, the parasite that causes malaria, in human blood.


.💥In 1898, Sir Ronald Ross, an English scientist, proved through experiments that the disease is spread by mosquitoes.


.💥India being a tropical country, conditions are favorable for the spread of malaria.


.💥Rural areas, forested areas, hilly areas and construction Places where work is carried out are places where there are conditions for the spread of malaria.


.💥In Tamil Nadu it is spread in 596 urban areas and 40.4 rural areas.


.💥In this, areas like Chennai and Rameswaram are endemic areas.


.💥Malaria is curable with holistic treatment.


.💥The National Malaria Eradication Program was announced by the Central Government in 1958 and is being implemented till date.


Cause of disease:


Malaria is transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes. 3 species of Anopheles mosquitoes transmit malaria in Tamil Nadu.


1. Anopheles stipensei:   Spreads in city and metropolitan areas.


2. Anophilus culsipesis:  Village and Village-based Area.


3. Anophilus pluviatilis:  Spreads in the foothills.


This Anopheles mosquito transmits malaria to humans through a parasite called Plasmodium. The following four types of Plasmodium are found to cause disease in humans.


💨Plasmodium vivax


💨Plasmodium falciparum


💨Plasmodium malariae


💨Plasmodium ovale,


Of these, vivax and falciparum species are most common among humans in India.


Plasmodium ovale is very rare.


Plasmodium malariae is found among tribals and hill dwellers.


1) Plasmodium vivax:



Relapse does not result in death.


2) Plasmodium falciparum:



.💥 Re-infection is unlikely


💥 Cerebral malaria causes black water fever


💥 Death will occur.

Modes of Transmission of Malaria:


💥 Malaria is spread by biting parasites. Female Anopheles mosquitoes harbor humans


💥 Malaria parasites are ingested with blood when female Anopheles mosquitoes suck human blood for food.


💥 The ingested malaria parasites develop and multiply in the mosquito's body.


💥 After 10 to 14 days, when the mosquito bites a healthy person, the parasite is injected into the body.


💥 All Anopheles mosquitoes do not transmit malaria in India only 9 mosquito species transmit malaria. In Tamil Nadu, only 3 species of mosquitoes are known to transmit malaria.


Course of disease:


It takes 10-12 days for the parasite to enter the human body through an infected mosquito and the symptoms of the disease become apparent.


Symptoms of Malaria:



Symptoms for a person diagnosed with the disease are divided into three stages out


💥  Cold Stage


💥 Fever stage - Hot stage


💥 Sweating stage.


Cold condition:


💥 5-7 days of fever


💥 Shivering with cold


💥 Body aches, headache


💥 Sweating.
