Why do you think health care to the individual, to the family and to the community is important?

Answer:

            Health is wealth basically the general condition of a human being's body and mind and health care supports our health everytime we feel weak and not strong enough to make our daily work or activities. It is the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases, illness, injury and other physical and mental impairments of people. This is delivered by doctors, nurses or anyone that can give care to the one who needs. It is essential in our life. Without this we will not be strong again like what we were before our sickness. Well apparently, health care is one of our basic needs beside water, oxygen and food.

            Health care is important to us, humans, because it helps us our health which is our wealth. It is important it helps us to recover faster whenever we have sickness, whenever we feel pain. The head ache, stomach ache and all that aches that we feel that causes distruction to what we do can be healed by health care fast. It helps us in every pain that we feel. It prevents us from bacteria that leads us to sickness and sometimes till death. In other words, health care helps us survive our daily lives.

            Our health is something that needs attention and care. Health care supports our health and makes us stronger. It helps us in times we suffer from pain through simple ways. Health care will keep us healthy and free from anything that causes pain. These reasons that I have given explains why health care to the individual, to the family and to the community is important!
