Abstract
There is concern that the health care system may be unable to meet the demands of an ageing and growing population in the future. Pharmaceutical medicines, while revolutionary, are becoming more costly, and their effectiveness isn't always as high as it seems in early, ecstatically reported clinical studies. In addition, drugs are given despite the risks of side effects, which are a major cause of hospitalizations, especially for the elderly, who are underrepresented in clinical trials.
The stark difference in life expectancy across various parts of the nation underscores the reality that health is influenced by a variety of social, economic, and environmental variables.
Along with better informing patients and healthcare providers on the actual effectiveness and dangers of medicines, there are possibilities to treat certain physical and mental problems using complementary or alternative treatments, as well as promote lifestyle changes. Treatments like these have the potential to relieve the financial and administrative burden on the health care system, especially in primary care, but they should only be suggested by health experts if there is solid proof that they are helpful; many are unproven.
