Conclusion
Hereby we conclude from our research that:
Comparison
We compared our research with:
According to our comparison, we have found out that both of the localities have a good amount of health awareness. In our locality we have 3 and more hospitals while they have only 2. Some hospitals in our locality provide special treatments for certain diseases like cancer.
Reflection
We had a wonderful experience while researching for this project. We learnt about various medicinal treatments and how they cure their patients. Some doctors also provide their own medicines for treatment. All of our teammates coordinated well for this project. The school with which we had a video conference with didn't have a medicinal facilities group so we couldn't say much. But overall, we believe (from our research) that they had a good health awareness. All in all, we had a great experience.
Hereby we conclude from our research that:
- The people in our region are health conscious as they know exactly what they want to have the treatment for and visit the doctors periodically.
- Many doctors in our region conduct free or low cost health camps for the citizens of the region.
- There are many 24/7 medicals which provide their facility throughout the hour.
