Answer 1

Medical centre is a place where health care facilities are provided. They are concerned with people's health and well being (physically, physiologically and psychologically)

Auto manufacturer is a place where automobiles are made. These are concerned with a perfect car or bike with good power, mileage, pickup and safety etc.

As humans are considered as a living machines. So our health condition also needed to be maintained in a proper condition and to be focused on each and every aspect of well being ( physical, physiological and psychological )as like an automotive for power, mileage, safecty and comfort etc.

As for an automotive to run properly it's all parts should be in a perfect condition (engine, clutch and gear etc) . Same way for a human to stay healthy all his body organs should be working properly ( heart, brain, lungs and kidneys etc)

So medical centres also needed to be focused on all organs of a human being to keep him in a healthy condition.

Waiting rooms are the places where many people may come sit wait and go... It is good to promote and improve ones health and well being there. As people waiting there are free of work we can make advertisements for healthy being in many possible ways like... Video format or lables attached to walls (like following hand hygiene, wearing a maskmask, Using sanitizer and to do daily workouts etc)

As If someone is sick the doctor prescribes medicines for that particular sickness. It will be good if the doctor himself prescribes a healthy nutrition (what to eat and what not to) to his patient, as many people are un aware of proper nutrition and how does their food habits affects their health. Ex. As for a diabetic patient he should reduce carbohydrate, sugars intake. For pregnant folic acid supplements etc.

The thing which we can learn from this one is. If Medical centres and Doctors focuss on all possible ways of keeping a person healthy ( treating, educating, proper nutrition, following up etc) . There could be a huge improvement in health from community level to whole country level. As like the Slogan of WHO ie.,(HEALTH FOR ALL) .
