Health is Wealth :)

I hope most of us believe in "Health is Wealth". So lets get richer and helps other also in their pursuit :) But how and why I wrote this?? Read this dear:

Right now I am in a foreign land (EU Country), and the worst thing that can happen to one is? Fall sick. Do not get shocked by this answer, of a question, which can perhaps have many answers. I will leave those possible, plausible answers for the readers’ imagination. But this is something, which is my personal experience. Actually it was not me but my one of my colleague, who got sick. With long working hours and meals (rarely Indian) which end up at Mcdonalds, anyone, anytime can surrender to the cold weather conditions.

I brought some medicines for such situation and that’s what helped my colleague recover quickly and I must say cheaply  . And this incident brought my attention to the fact that in India, we have really affordable health care facilities. Thanks to the government for its policies because of which we get most of the medicines at affordable prices,

But again the term AFFORDABLE, is relative. It might be just affordable for me. It can be like really cheap for another person and it can be a reason for someone’s death, as it was perhaps costlier than that poor man’s life. I am not kidding when I say that. People die because of the lack of medical care. And it’s a fact. One can admit it or can ignore it.

Just admitting and moving on doesn’t help, and ignoring it is one of the reasons, why this is happening. So please don’t ignore it. And when you acknowledge it, come forward and do what little you can do. One can get associated with any NGO working in this direction. I am sure there are plenty waiting for you to GOOGLE them  (I would be glad to help you locate one)

There is another approach. You are a part of society. So the place where you are living, get some like minded people and make your own society for this cause. Contribute to any fixed little amount per house/flat. Select the area (any slum) where you want to channel your services. If you have some doctors staying in your society/colony/mohalla, well and good, but if you don’t, many of the people have family doctors or acquaintances, who can either do it for free or a nominal fee. Once you get a Doc, arrange a health camp and get things rolling. It is not as simple as said, but it is definitely not impossible.

I have read, experienced and now I firmly believe that there is little good, in each and everyone of us. This element just needs to be rekindled. And then you know no bounds, no more self-built restraints. And that little part of your self, the unrecognized, the unknown; will be the NEW YOU. Sometimes it takes forever for one to realize this.We know “Better Late Then Never”, though its true, but in this case I personally feel,“Sooner, The Better” no just for self, but also for the people’s lives you could have impacted in a positive way.
