PERENNIAL COMMUNITY HEALTH
PROBLEMS
Question: When can we say that a community has a health problem?
Answer: There are so many factors that can contribute to health problems of a
community. These factors vary according to the economy, politics, geography,
culture and social context. Lets try to study the picture/diagram below.
Human Excreta and Sewage – These are our personal wastes and how
we will properly dispose it. It will be a problem if these wastes are not
properly disposed. Example, throwing used diapers at our backyards.
Disease Control – Just like what is happening right now, the covid-19. It
became a problem because it is contagious or easy to spread. If we
cannot control these kinds of diseases then it will become a problem.
Peace and Order – Every barangay has it own program in keeping the
peace and order within their area. It will became a problem if the people
living in that community doesn’t follow the ordinances created by the brgy
officials.
Waste Disposal – Disposing our garbage not properly will cause
problems to the community. These garbage can contribute to floods, filthy
environment and also diseases.
Food sanitation- Basically, this factor falls to food producers who are
selling foods as part of their business. If they will not handle it well, it can
cause minor disease or health problems to the community.

Water Supply – In Metro Manila people rely to the Maynilad in supplying
their water. In Provinces, we have our own deep well for water supply. It
became a problem if we have scarcity in water supply or the water is being
contaminated.
Drug Abuse Prevention and Control – Drugs are one of the most
pressing problems in our country. Though as we can see in the news, the
Government is aggressive in solving this problem.
Question: How can we make our community healthy?
Answer: After learning these factors, we must be aware of the solutions or
preventive measures to to make our community healthy. Lets talk it one by one.
Human Excreta and Sewage – We must have our own septic tank for our
personal wastes.
Disease Control – Immunization, health programs by the Government
and maintain cleanliness in the environment.
Peace and Order – Officials being a good role model in all ordinances
and cooperative community.
Waste Disposal – Proper segregation and disposal is the key to address
this problem. The Government has also the program in collecting the
garbage.
Food sanitation – All food business must have their sanitation permit as
proof of safe food. And also, they must maintain cleanliness. In our own
homes, we must observe cleanliness especially in dealing with insects and
other rodents.
Water supply – Enough water supply and testing the water if it is
potable/drinkable or not.
Drug Abuse Prevention and Control – Proper dissemination of
information regarding Drug Abuse. More Sports festivals for the youth.
