It is complex because when it comes to defining health policies, assigning priorities, allotting funds and planning and operation programs to give effect to the policies, it is not easy for political leaders or technical experts in either the underdeveloped or the developed countries to keep in mind the centrality of human development.

The ultimate goal of economic developments if to improve the wellbeing of people. The building of factories, the terracing of land and the training of engineers are but means towards that end; enhancing the reputation or wealth of political leaders and increasing the prestige or power of nation states are irrelevant. Improving the health of people is fundamental to improving their well-being. This being so, it is important to know what “health” means. Health has long been defined by the 155 member states of the world Health Organization(WHO) as “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” The ultimate goal of development can therefore be said to be health, in this broad sense, for all the people of the world. It is simple as that—and as complex.

If people cannot afford to buy their own house, they can rent property from a private landlord. In city areas the problem has been made worse by the bad condition that a lot of council property is in. High-rise flats, for example, have developed structural faults. Unfortunately, homelessness is an increasingly serious problem all over Britain. It affects all ages: single people, couples with children, even old-age pensioners. In 1984, 83190 households, a term that covers families and single people, were officially listed as homeless. In one year, 170190 households applied to be put on the list, but thousands were turned down although they were probably living in overcrowded conditions or in housing that badly needed repairing and improving.

Young people in Britain tend to stay with their family longer these days as accommodation is expensive but, when they move away to a job or college, they rent a room in someone’s house. They can also get a bed-sitting room. They can share a rented flat or house with a group of young people. When young people get married or have a steady income, they often buy a house. They do this by taking out a mortgage with a building society or bank. They are the official loan for anything up to 100% of the value of the house, repayable over twenty or forty years. People can find it difficult to repay their mortgage, but at least they know that in the end the house will be theirs.
