With the increasing economic hardship, the struggle for survival is inevitable. Choked with many bills to settle, the unending quest, to meet up the demand of society, is a mission of possibility at all end.
Little do people cater for Health, the society only react to health problem, when the body finally breaks down-a sad reality that have killed many. Thousands more, are on a death list, without their very notice.
Health-a very important aspect of our very existence, but taken for a joke by many. The sudden pass-away of people, both young and old, is at alarming rate. So many illnesses are on the rise, killing and miming at will, unchallenged.
But why are people showing less concern, when health is mentioned? Perhaps, we never thought, what killed Mr. A; can also repeat such to Mr. B and even C. Or maybe, we heavily rely on our Faith.
A look at the society shows many are sick, but only few have symptoms. We only wait, when the illness have taken over our health. Apparently, it becomes too late for Doctors to act.
Does one have to fall ill before visiting the Hospital?
Unfortunately No. but the reality on ground shows that, many if not all, wait till they become ill, even at the point of death, before the idea of visiting the hospital surface. We don’t make doctors our friends.
We don’t even have our personal or family physician, a sad reality. Many see it, as a waste of scarce resource. The few wise have been benefiting from it. Having a family doctor, who run series of test and treat you regularly, is one of the best way to be wealthy.
Talking herbs when sick may not be the best idea. Herbs do have their own potency. They may not detect or properly treat an illness. Many international medical journals, don’t recommend the use of herbs. You might be damaging your Liver, Kidney and other vital organs in the body, if continued regularly.
Your health is your wealth, only the living makes money. While we are busy, in search of greener pasture, putting your health first should not be an option, but a priority.
We have one life to live. Once gone, it’s gone. Visiting your doctor regularly, must be a necessity. But unfortunately, people see it as a waste of time and money.
More than 60% of the black race has no idea of their health status, a study in Kenya revealed. Poor health facilities and lack of funding of the health sector contribute to it.
