Introduction :
👉(Start the answer by giving an overview about the connection between Economic growth and the health of a population. )
Both are deeply interconnected. A healthy populace contributes directly to productivity, innovation, and national development. Good health enhances cognitive abilities, work efficiency, and reduces absenteeism, which are essential for sustaining economic momentum.

👉Now , address the demand of the question -: through different dimensions-

1. ECONOMIC : a healthy workforce ensures higher productivity, fewer days lost to illness, and lower public health expenditure. This directly contributes to GDP growth and improved national income.

2. SOCIAL : a good health fosters better educational outcomes and gender equity—particularly in maternal and child health—which enhances long-term human capital formation.

3. GOVERNANCE : public health reflects state capacity and social justice. Investments in healthcare infrastructure, clean water, sanitation, and preventive care reduce inequality and build public trust in institutions.

4. DEMOGRAPHIC : nations with lower disease burdens experience better age dependency ratios, fueling what economists call the “demographic dividend.”

5. EXAMPLES : such as Cuba’s low-cost, high-efficiency health system or Kerala’s human development model—demonstrate how health-centric policies can drive holistic development.

Conversely:
poor health burdens economies through rising healthcare costs, loss of human capital, and reduced labour force participation. For instance, malnutrition, maternal mortality, and communicable diseases in developing nations impede education and employment outcomes, perpetuating cycles of poverty.

👉Conclusion : (here try to give a perspective of what you think as a person. This should come from “within” , something which comes from heart or a kind of a “feeling”. )

The dream of a prosperous nation cannot be separated from the reality of a healthy population. In essence, health is not just a sector—it is the heartbeat of national progress.
