Health is Beyond Reach

Poverty will have an impact on the health of individuals and society. The vicious cycle of poverty and health will probably continue to occur. Imagine, for poor people, it is certain that their income is low. If the income is low, then the food is not nutritious which is then eaten by women. Women of productive age with food that is not nutritious will work for the needs of the household. If so, then women will be categorized as high risk during pregnancy, resulting in unhealthy babies. If the child is not healthy then the child cannot think normally, if so then the child does not get a decent job, and if the job is not decent then the income is low... and so on.

Such an illustration is one of the aspects discussed in this book. There are still stories about the difficulty of getting treatment, the high cost of treatment, the dilemma of health cards and so on. Until finally there is a kind of advocacy picture that can be done by the community in the framework of obtaining their rights in the health sector.

Simple, concise and full of illustrations so it can be easily understood. Can be used as reading material, training modules or public advocacy training.
