HEALTH INEQUALITIES - KERALA

 



Health inequalities are unjust and avoidable disparities in people's health within a population group. They are influenced by societal situations that are out of one's control. The circumstances are unfavourable, and they have an impact on people's prospects of living a long and healthy life.

The NFHS-5 (National Family Health Survey), the fifth in the series, was launched by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare with the support of the International Institute for Population Sciences in Mumbai. Population, health, and nutrition are all topics included in the survey. It is conducted every three years by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of the Government of India to bring to light the standings of each state in relation to certain preset key indicators.

My pick for this blog is the state of  Kerala as it is widely regarded as one of the best states in terms of health and education. Kerala has improved its sex ratio by roughly 7%, which is the greatest among other states, according to NFHS-5 data. The Kerala government has accomplished something truly spectacular.

In the state, there are virtually few health inequalities. Let's take a look at the state's health inequalities.


* Deaths (last three years) registered with civil authorities- no data provided for rural regions in NFSH-4 (can be considered an inequality since urban areas had 97 percent registration), but we can see a figure of 96.9% in rural regions in NFSH-5, which is clearly an improvement that there is data available.


* Fertility rate of adolescent girls and women (age 15-19) - rural 21%, urban 15%, possibly indicating the influence of lifestyle changes

ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE

An organization's culture determines how employees should behave. Leaders create shared viewpoints and values, which are subsequently passed down and developed upon through numerous methods, eventually impacting representative perceptions, behaviours, and comprehension. The culture of an organisation sets the tone for everything it does. Because endeavours and situations differ greatly, there is no one-size-fits-all cultural structure that meets the needs of all organizations.  The finest companies have one thing in common: a strong culture. At the top, everyone has agreed on cultural priorities, which are oriented on the institution and its goals rather than on individuals. Successful company pioneers continually reflect their cultures and make a special effort to communicate their personality to employees and potential new hires. They are clear about their beliefs and how they characterise and regulate the operations of their organisations. Consider the case of Microsoft. A world
