Why we need change?

• Health and Economic cost. -$53.8 billion ( 6.4% GDP)/Year. World Bank (2006) Hurricane Katrina $ 20,billion.(Worse in US history) Hilton world wide 3500 hotels = $20 billion State income Andhra pradesh,2006-7= $54.5 billion State income Tamil Nadu,2006-7= $53.7 billion State income Gujrat,2006-2007= $ 48.3 billion -India spends 3.4% GDP on health care. -91.4% of health care cost is paid privately. - Majority of sickness in India are aftermath of poor

sanitation. Their eradication will save big money to families.

Diseases and Cost

WHAT IS BEING DONE

• Total Sanitation campaign, Ministry of Rural Dev., India.: Effective.

• National Urban Sanitation policy, Ministry of Urban Dev., India.: Not as effective.

• Multiple NGO for clean water.

• Multiple NGO running Hospital and clinics.

• Free eye camps.

CONVENTIONAL STRATEGY• PRIMARY PREVENTION: To prevent disease from occurring:

vaccination, water filter, Odomos, mouse trap, Mosquito nets, controlling salt and fat in diet, Physicals, Mammogram etc.

• SECONDARY PREVENTION: Treating Hypertension, Diabetes, osteoporosis, Tuberculosis exposure ,tummy worms,

• TERTIARY PREVENTION: Preventing further complications of disease. Like prevent repeated heart attack, stroke, tuberculosis, diarrhea, cholera, malaria

CONVENTIONAL STRATEGIES NOT WORKING

• PRE PRIMARY PREVENTION NEEDED:• So water in not infected.• So there are no flies, mosquitoes and mice.• So Air is not polluted.

(ALL CAUSED BY BAD SANITRAY PRACTICES)• This will help PRIMARY,SECONDARY AND

TERTIARY PREVENTION to succeed.

EDUCATION

bags.• Throw in Dumpsters only, or Far away from homes.• Safe food handling. Use gloves and tongs.• How do we get feco oral contamination. Public

defecation and Urination ultimately gets in food and water, that we consume.

• How spitting spreads Tuberculosis.• How do we get mosquitoes and related diseases.• How does dirty surrounding brings in mice ,mosquitoes

and diseases back in home, through them.
