Health centers are institutions through which primary health care is provided to individuals and families, considering them as elements of a community with their problems, needs and behaviors. Primary care includes preventive, curative actions (diagnosis, treatment and referral to different levels) rehabilitation care (which does not require personnel or specialized material at this level) and health promotion measures.
For this reason, we can say that a community problem, outlined in the question above, that can be resolved by a health center is "illness due to industrial toxins".
