Our Comprehensive Approach to Health Care
The Prophet (saw) said, ‘The believers are like one body in their mutual love and affection: if one limb is injured, the rest responds with sleeplessness and fever.’ [Bukhari]
Good health is the most important aspect of our lives. Our health is the foundation on which we build our world and without a strong foundation everything else crumbles around us.
In many developing countries, ill health is all too common. Unsafe water and poor sanitation alone, kill 4 million people each year. Other factors that seriously affect people are hunger and malnutrition, diseases like Malaria and HIV and a lack of access to decent healthcare.
Aside from causing millions of deaths, ill health causes many other problems for communities around the world. When people are unwell, they can’t go to school, they can’t work and they can’t support their families.
As well as having a detrimental effect on the local level, an inefficient workforce is an obstacle to progress on a much wider scale, which means that the provision of quality healthcare remains out of reach for many. So the cycle of illness and death and the resulting poverty and hardship continues.
