Health status of a population can be measured by the morbidity and mortality rate of the population.
Benefits of measuring that risk factors and the effectiveness of alternative interventions can be asessed easily and the already implemented health care programme can be improved to increase the health status of population.

Unemployment is the major local social issue that is currently being addressed by the local elected officials. As this issue lead to lot of stress in the local population specially in the youth.
Definitely unemployment has a very serious legal impact. Alot of youngsters are getting involved in the various types of crimes just to earn money and for making their basic needs to be fullfilled.
School students are the furute of the nation and thats why their health is must for a nation to progess ver well.
I think there should be a regular heath check up for them. Health check up plans/programmes should be conducted time to time by the school by the help of otherlocal authorities so that any kind of disease can be traced in a initial stage only and can be cured accordingly.
For such type of school health check up programmes , a proper team should be formed headed by the any medical officer and with other doctors and paramedical staff under the supervision of any local government official. All the reports of such programmes with all the data should be submiited to the local hospitals timely.
These type of plans will definitely work out for better health of school children.
