Healthcare In Urban Neighborhoods

   Most poor urban areas are associated with a high population which put pressure on the available social services like health facilities and other essentials. For that reason, most people result in getting inadequate health services. This has resulted in an increased mortality rate among children and the aging population. For that reason, better measures should be taken to reduce the increased population to at least improve healthcare services in this region. Increased population and increased mortality rate among the growing children have resulted in slowed economic growth in these regions. Also, the dying of the aging people has increased the number of orphans in the city, leading to poor health conditions among these areas. Also, due to poor health conditions, most of the cities are suffering from infectious diseases which are hard to control. For that reason, a reasonable solution that will control the situation would be viable. Since the major challenge in these cities is the increased population, the department of health requests family planning (Mizanur and Abdur 68). It is understood that family planning is not a common practice in these areas as most people do not take the matter seriously. Also, they see no problem with having a big family as most of them are desperate and, in most cases, get into marriages without a plan. Besides, due to desperation at young age, some people marry at their early ages leading to an increased number of children in cities.

Combined with poverty, the conditions in these areas become tough. For that reason, the proper address of the issue needs to be considered. The essay proposes the use of family planning as the possibility of reducing the population in this region hence controlling health issues in the areas.

Refutation,

The possible way of controlling the population, hence improving the health care in these regions is the government passing the law on the number of children each family should be having. This measure would not work because it would be hard to control people on the number of children to have. Also, if the government passes the law on the number of children to have, it will lead to abortion in these regions, which would otherwise worsen the condition instead of solving it. Besides, people would continue having children, but since the government would demand not to have a certain number of children, some parents will disown. Besides, people would continue having children despite any law being in place. Consequently, the number of orphans will continue, and the mortality rate among the young population will increase. According to Tyler (22) a psychologist says that people enjoy doing what is wrong if the law is applied. For that reason, the solution to the problem should be friendly to most people so that they can be ready to take charge by themselves. Therefore, since family planning projects would be voluntary but with the right education, hence becoming the proper method to use to control the population and improve the health services. Reasons Why Family Planning Would Be the Possible Solution According to Martha (30) ignorance of family planning has resulted in an increased population in most poor urban areas. The increased population results in putting pressure on the available resources in these ruined cities. According to Normatov (48) due to malnutrition in most poor urban areas, children suffer from different diseases that need attention in the inadequate health center. For that reason, the demand for health services increases beyond the capability of the area. For that reason, through teaching people the importance of family planning, it would be beneficial to help reduce pressure on the available health facilities. Family planning would be efficient due to various reasons. Firstly, since ignorance is the leading cause of increased population, the project will educate people on the importance of having small families (Undie 34). Before administering any medicine to the people, they will first get the right education on why and how to perform family planning. Secondly, the process will be voluntary, where people are explained of the process and left on their own to make the decision. People would be taught  why they experience challenges in health units due to the increased population. Therefore, people will be willing to listen and act accordingly to increase the chances of good health in their regions. Through family planning, the educators will have the opportunity to educate the young people on why they should not marry early to solve the challenge of increased population.

  Therefore, when family planning is administered in different regions, there would be population control  reducing pressure on the health facilities. When the health facilities are taken care of, the mortality rate among children and the older people would be reduced  achieving the targeted goal. 

 Conclusion: Implementation and Outcome To effectively implement the project, the program will hire qualified nurses. The targeted group in this program would be the young people as they are the ones who will soon be married. Therefore, to make sure that the problem will be solved, the concerned individuals will target young girls. The young girls will be educated on the importance of family planning, and where they accept, the medication will be administered. To the young gentlemen who have just gotten into marriage will be insisted to appreciate family planning and encourage their wives to take the right measures. To the available health centers, the project will leave them with family planning kits to assist them in solving the challenge of increased pregnancy reducing the population. Since the project is aimed to work for the next one year, the expected outcome would be a reduction of birth rate so that in the future, there would be less population who would be comfortably served with the available health centers in these urban areas.
