Effects of Environmental Health on Healthy People 2020 and Health Global Community
Environmental health focuses on creating a better environment which enhances better health among people within the society, thereby increasing their lifespan and their abilities to participate in different tasks. It is through a better environment that people may be in a position to lead healthier lives. This means that the achievement of healthy people 2020 solely relies on current environmental health. The achievement of this agenda is to attain a higher level of health condition among member in the society. This means that for it to be achieved then factors like air pollution, inadequate sanitation, occupational and natural hazards among others must be highly prevented (Bolin et al 2015). This would definitely reduce the chances of having people suffering from various illness, and thereby achieving a healthy society as expected.
Environmental health also has a great impact on the health of the Global community, whose main focus is to promote health and prevent the spread of various diseases among members of society. For this reason, the state of environmental health is more likely to determine the probability of having certain diseases being transmitted among different individuals and the rate as well (Koo et al 2016). Therefore, the health of the global community is well defined by the environmental health nature of a certain environment. Poor conditions like increased environmental disasters are more likely to have a negative impact on the health of the global community. On the other hand better environmental practices like prevention of different kinds of pollution would definitely enhance the health condition of the global society.
