    P E S T

    Political Factors: Democracies are under pressure to show that they can protect the health of theipopulation. Global society is under pressure to demonstrate it can mobilize resources to effectively tackle global social problems. Tackling health problems requires long term thinking, complex partnerships and innovative forms of organization. Health suffers more in wars and other complex consequences.

    Economical Factors: Rising price of palm oil Purchasing power is affected by the inflation Import ofpalm oil is affected by dollar exchange rate

    Social factors: Health is important to people-consistently regarded by rich or poor There is a complex interaction between the right of an individual good health; the right ofcommunity to protect itself against health threats; and its responsibility to provide for the health of its members. Health protection requires across the society professions organizations etc. public health relies on public support of its licenses to operate and its ability to change behavior. 30

    Technological factors: Health problems are always dynamic and sometimes this change is unpredictabealth interventions can lead to new health hazards. Without knowledge about health, there can be no response to health threats. Technology is poorly distributedin areas where people are unable to create demand for it effectively. New technologies are the result of increasingly sophisticated processes and currently seem to be of decreasing cost effectiveness. New technologies pose poorly-understood risks as well as offering hard to qualify benefits Information technology hasa potential to revolutionize the disseminations of knowledge about health.
