"content": "Nowadays, cardiovascular diseases, cancers and diabetes are on the rise, and the trend is worrying. The crude death rate in this country emanates from such conditions. Somebody dies, is taken to the morgue, and is eventually buried with no statistics to show. This is because there is no early detection of those conditions and, therefore, they are not managed well. One important thing that, that cadre of health workers will do is to manage diseases. For example, if you go to see a doctor like Dr. Pukose, you will be given a prescription. If you are lucky, you will be given drugs. Sometimes, the distance between the pharmacy and the households is big. Somebody is required to advise the patient on how to take that medication as prescribed, so that the drug level in the blood can be sustained to kill the disease-causing organisms. That is the work of a community health worker."
