Part 1:

There are many health services in my community, a few I can list are Wellspan Community Health Center, Womens Care Center, Normadie Ridge, Autumn House West and The Haven at Springwood. I know of these places, but I don't usually go to them, I've only been to Wellspan. Wellspan is a popular health service in my community and they're pretty common. The closest one to me is about two minutes away. There are also many different drugstores near me too. A few to list are CVS Pharmacy, Rite Aid, Walgreens and Union Prescription Center. I personally use three of these places, CVS Pharmacy, Rite Aid and Walgreens, these are all very close to me too. If i have a major emergency I can call 911 and they'll be there within minutes. A third world country I chose was Africa, most of us know Africa is a third world country. When someone gets injured or hurt in Africa, they usually have to heal or help themselves. They don't have a phone to dial 911 right away to get help. Sometimes they have their own remedies and medicine they make from scratch so if they do get hurt, they have something to help. They might have to travel for miles if they get seriously injured.


Part 2:

Primary health care situations may include check-ups, physicals, or anything that is regular and preferably required. It helps benefit your overall health. Preventive situations include things that will help prevent any future sicknesses or diseases. For example, shots. Flu shots, tetnis shots, chickenpox, HPV, MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella), etc. These are usually a reccomended thing, but if you don't want them you don't always have to get them unless you're at a risk. Emergency care is self explanitory. It's for if an emergency happens. Let's say you're cutting up vegetables in the kitchen to make your salad and you accidentally cut your palm open. If it's a little cut, it's not a big deal. Get some peroxide and a bandaid, clean it and cover it up to prevent infections, but if you manage to cut your whole palm open and it's bleeding badly and won't stop. You'll most likely need to go to the ER and get stitches. Therefore you either call an ambulance if it's that bad or drive yourself there. All of these are very important and should be taken very seriously.


Sorry it's late, but I hope this helps in the future! x
