still being taken for development by sacrificing capacity of the environment to
provide its ecological services. The practice should stop to safeguard the environment
and health of the citizens.
Public health programs survive and succeed if organizations as well as coalitions
address six key areas (Frieden 2014).
1. Innovation to develop the evidence base for action
2. A technical package of a limited number of high-priority, evidence-based interference that together will have a major key impact
3. Effective performance management
4. Partnerships and coalitions and partnerships with public- as well as privatesector organizations
5. Communication of accurate and timely information to the healthcare community, decision-makers, and the public to effect behaviour change and engage civil
society
6. Political commitment to obtain resources and support for effective action
Like resources, ecological services of any ecological setup are limited and cannot take pressure beyond their capacity. Any stress beyond the capacity of nature
will result in counter-stress by nature to eliminate the stress to upkeep nature’s
health. Some of the examples of stress on the environment as well as counter-stress
by environment are given in Table 4.1.
