Health Organizations
March 20, 2013
A) The Centers for Disease Control: It was formed July 1st, 1946 and the purpose it was created was to protect people from diseases such as Malaria. It’s current purpose is public health protection, they also educate people so they can make important decisions regarding health, and provides knowledge on how to avoid how to avoid infectious diseases. In a nutshell, their main purpose is to educate the people of the US on how to improve their health. Just about everyone can benefit from this, since it’s main purpose is to help people know about personal health. Personally I believe this organization is very useful because nobody can be too healthy, especially since most people aren’t these days.
B) The Food and Drug Administration
The Food and Drug Administration was founded June 30th, 1906. Its initial purpose was to pass the pure food and drugs act. The Pure Food and Drugs act banned labels on food products that had false information on the labels. Its current function is to make sure all food labels are correctly printed and to educate people on how to take better care of their body. Everyone benefits from this organization, because if they had false ingredients on the label and someone happened to be allergic to the one of the ‘hidden’ ingredients they could get hurt. Besides its never a bad thing to know what you’re putting in your body, and I think this organization is useful, because now we can know the nutritional facts in the food we eat are true, so now it’s easier to watch your weight because people can just check the labels.
C) The World Health Organization
The World Health Organization was established April 7,1948. The initial purpose of the World Heath Organization was to eradicate small pox, however it’s current purpose is to try and eradicate diseases like HIV, AIDS, Malaria, and Tuberculosis. Anyone could benefit from this but mostly people who have dangerously active sex lives,
