Challenges
The community of Jaranwala faces several prevalent health issues and diseases. Limited access to healthcare facilities and resources is a prominent challenge, resulting in inadequate medical services for the community. Poor sanitation and hygiene conditions contribute to the spread of waterborne diseases and gastrointestinal disorders along with various infectious diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, typhoid, and hepatitis. Additionally, low air quality in the area also contributes to the high prevalence of respiratory illnesses such as asthma, and chest infection
