Question

what is the role of poverty in spoiling good health ?

Answer 1

Poverty and poor health worldwide are linked closely in every aspect. The causes of poor health for millions globally are rooted in political, social and economic injustices. Improving the financial conditions of families, would ultimately lead to good health and a healthy environment with more awareness.
Poverty increases the chance of getting ill because of:
i) Poor nutrition
ii) Lack of clean water
iii) Overcrowding
iv) Inability to afford good health care services
Poor health increases poverty by:
i) Reducing the person's productivity to do work and earn money
ii) Leading families to sell assets to cover the costs of treatment. This increases poverty and their vulnerability to shocks in the future.
