LOCAL COMMUNITY HEALTH CARE

Community health is an act of protecting and improving the health of people through promotion of healthy lifestyles, research for diseases and control of injury and infectious diseases. Community health professionals attempt to control problems from happening through implementation of educational programs, policies, providing services and carrying research hence promoting community health care. One of the health issues affecting the community is asthma.

Asthma is a chronic lung disease that cause airways to be inflamed and also narrows them. Asthma causes repeated wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and always coughing especially at night or early in the morning. Asthma has been a challenge in the community for about five years. It has always been a responsibility of every member in the community to ensure that asthma is eradicated as soon as possible.

Asthma has greatly affected the community in the following ways:

· Some people can fail to go to school or work because of their asthma or in order to take good care of their child or loved one with asthma.

· It can also cause some people not being able to participate in some activities for example, some people are unable to do regular exercise due to these problem.

· These problem has led to poor community development due to ragging behind in economic activities because most of the people affected by asthma.

· It has also led to low living standards of people in the community because most of them spend a lot of money in buying medicines recommended by the doctor in cancer treatment.

· The community also has experienced increased death rates due to asthma almost by 80%. In this way there is loss of very important people for example, doctors, professors, teachers who could have enabled the community to develop by far.

The community has responded to asthma control in various ways such as through sensitization of people on the disease. By so doing many people get a lot of information about the disease and as result they can avoid and control it. It has also responded to asthma by closing all disparities gaps, and improving results for all persons with asthma. This is to enable them to recover from the condition and embark on their economic activities. It has also responded by engaging various people to use available resources more efficiently to achieve better and more through improved asthma control. The community has responded to this problem by controlling factors that affect asthma and cause asthma especially the environmental ones. Finally, communities are improving the quality of medical attention to the patients of asthma and it is working to provide free medical care to the asthma patients.
