  sorry, not yet update../.

 

Basic health care is an essential key to open the door to sustainable development, because that good health in a nation is not just a matter of creating economic wealth. It is also about the distribution of that wealth in terms of food, of water and sanitation infrastructures, and of education, as well as providing conventional health services. In other words, it is about alleviation of poverty.
