Science in health sector
(mohammad hanif, karachi)
Science has blessed and
brightened almost all the spheres of activities. Besides every walk of life, it
has charged health sector with absolute strength. Living conditions these days
are getting from bad to worse. Exploding population has enhanced troubles and
lessened the facilities required for healthy living. Every day, a new virus
comes to forefront. It threatens human life. But the medical science comes to
the rescue of humanity. Increasing number of souls face the scarcity of
commodities which sustain life. Because of spoilt and contaminated environment,
man comes across various health hazards. But science education properly
enlightens people in combating the dangers to life.
Human life is always at stake in the rapidity of modern world. With each passing
day, viral infections, epidemics and bacteria get stronger. These prove to be
the factors of large-scale mortality rate. Alexander Fleming invented first
antibiotic, Penicillin. This novelty of20th century saved millions of people
from death trap. Later antibiotics underwent considerable change and
development. First generation of antibiotics, named penicillin proved to be
somehow injurious. Later second generation amoxellin group appeared to be more
effective, strong and less dangerous. Third generation went a step forward.
These days, medical science emphasizes on “prevention is better than cure “.
This slogan speaks of the progressive awareness of people that saves humanity
from impending and swift death trap of 21st century.
Medical science has advanced many steps forward in multiple ways. It’s worth
mentioning attainments are;
Culture of neatness and focus on hygienic living
The invention of anesthetics and antibiotics
Discovery of antiseptics, analgesic and antipyretics
Heart, kidney and liver transplant operations
Introduction of diagnostic industry
People have been properly educated regarding eating habits and proper nutrition.
In education sector, health tips remained the essential part of basic science or
general science education. This subject focused on hygienic living which means
the life of purity and neatness. A large volume of trouble was properly
addressed by this healthy attitude for healthy living. Previously, doctors
treated patients keeping in view the symptom of disease. These days, doctors are
no more firing at random. They may take into account symptoms but mostly they
focus on the cause of disease. The correct diagnosis leads to the proper cure of
the ailment.
Surgery has become practicable and safe. The best surgeon is one who avoids
surgery and tries to cure diseased growth through medication. Most astonishing
achievement of medical science is chemotherapy. Many cancer operations are being
conducted successfully.
The journey of progress in science is consistently going on. The major ailment
of 21st is sedentary society. People work a lot but physical exertion has almost
come to a halt. A lot of brain work and long journeys through transport do not
let man have physical movement. That has increased the number of diabetic and
cardiac patients. People have got diet conscious and at the same time became
very particular about walking and exercise. No doubt, people are not so strong
as of the past age, but proper medication and abstinence from forbidden stuff,
allows them longevity. It is the awareness, gifted by medical science that has
enhanced span of life.
