Healthcare is a major topic of concern these days as there are a number of diseases being discovered due to the drastic and unexpected changes in the environmental conditions. This means that there exists a far greater responsibility on people concerned with healthcare.

Community healthcare that takes into account the health of a particular community consisting of a given number of members. Taking into consideration the factors affecting the health of an individual, the health of a community would also fall on gaining knowledge about the challenges to look forwards and then acting accordingly to tackle them.

A little time back, I came across the definition of a healthy community by the World Health Organization. It was pretty simple yet very inspiring. The WHO definition of a healthy community threw light on the development of living environments and building resources to allow the members of the community help one another whenever required.

Practically, community healthcare doesn't always produces great health results. Sometimes all the planning and discussions is to ask for the fundamental requirements that would eventually help in keeping a community healthy. So, what makes a healthy community? Economic factor is sure to be one of the answers, but the most important answers is for the members of the community to come out and show intent to help deliver their group from a particular health hazard. Its the power that the members of a group possess of taking actions that decides whether the community will be a healthy community or not.
