- Abstract
The goal of the present research is to comprehend the existing state of health among residents of Anaikatti village in the Coimbatore district. The most prevalent diseases and signs of health problems have been covered. The public' perceptions of health concerns and their causes are also examined. The study takes a qualitative method. The research is based on real- time data gathered from a poll of Anaikatti Village inhabitants. Convenience sampling was used to choose the respondents. The research included 168 participants in all. To analyse primary data, statistical techniques such as percentage analysis, descriptive statistics, and ANOVA are applied. The findings show that some areas of the neighbourhood have inadequate drinking water and sanitary care. Legislators and healthcare practitioners, with the help of non-governmental organisations, must take adequate actions to ensure safe drinking water and sanitary facilities. Frequent health camps, free distribution of medications for common symptoms, actions to increase the nutritional content of food consumed, distribution of nutritional supplements, and frequent doctor visits may aid in the identification of previously undiagnosed illnesses and improve overall health. An in-depth research into prevalent genetic disorders is also recommended, while immunisations against seasonal diseases may aid in boosting immunity against seasonal sickness in toddlers and the elderly.
