WHO is working at global level to carrying various kinds of events or activities to determine causes and precautions for several dangerous diseases and make people aware. They sets targets through Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to improve well being of citizens. In case of infants, they focus on immunisation, malnutrition and infection control within babies (Smith and Hellowell, 2012). It also includes to make people aware about pollution related problems like asthma, TB and Alzheimer's disease.

Public Health England (PHE) and NHS England are national level organisations which take several steps that are needed to prevent health problems.

Infectious disease refers to those health issues which are spread frequently within a population through touching, sneezing, shaking hand and living in infected surroundings. Hepatitis C is considered as septic problem in which liver get damaged due to virus causes inflammation but it is not identified at initial stage because liver can still working having infections in it. According of study of Public Health England (PHE) estimates that 160,000 people in England are living with hepatitis C.

According to a health issue, priorities and approaches of services may differ from one another. Joint Strategic Needs Assessment (JSNA) is all about to determine the current and future required for improving health status of people in accurate way through putting effective efforts towards it.
