DOWNLOAD EBOOKAccording to the 2001 Census, the population of Scheduled Tribes in the country is 8.43 crores, which is 8.2 per cent of the total population of the country. Most Indian tribes are concentrated in heavily forested areas that combine inaccessibility with limited political or economic significance. Historically, the economy of most tribes was subsistence agriculture or hunting and gathering. Tribal members traded with outsiders for the few necessities they lacked, such as salt and iron. Lack of personal hygiene, poor sanitation, poor mother-child health services health serviced, managed care. The benefits covered under a health contract, absence of health education, lack of national preventive programmes and lack of health services are responsible for the poor health of the tribals. Problems like in-sanitary food supplies, water contamination, and poor food intake reflect on the health status of tribals. The tropical diseases like malaria are still widespread and rampant in the tribal areas. Hence, better nutrition and good environmental health are the important. The present book gives full details about health status and rights to health among the tribals in Andhra Pradesh, India.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
