Introduction

Health care provisions are essential for the survival and well being of any society. In those societies where health care facilities are conveniently accessible to the common men, prosperity and harmony reigns supreme. The concept of health and social care are integrated together. Social care aims to develop abilities in people through which they can lead normal independent lives like others. This is especially for the individuals who are mentally handicapped and require additional assistance in terms of physical and mental activities. The concepts of health and social care have been given much importance in the recent times. This is due to the alarming rise in communicable diseases and mental disorders all over the world. The world has come to realize the importance of maintaining sound health and wellness. They have also realized the significance of social inclusion. Social inclusion is a product of social care services. Social inclusion is a multifaceted approach that addresses whether everyone in a society meets the basics of life, as well as issues of income inequality and rising wage levels.

Social inclusion and connectedness with the society can easily be linked with the mental and physical health of individuals.

The concept of ensuring optimal health and social care for the citizens has gained significant popularity and attention among health care providers and concerned officials in the health care sectors (Hayden 2009, pp. 117-143). An increment in the population of old aged people results in an expansion in the demand of social and community care services for people who are incapable, have learning disabilities or simply are old enough to go to hospitals. New advancements, changed demographics, and increased public awareness are some of the concerns due to which health care trends differ across countries. All healthcare facilities and services across the world are facing challenges. These challenges need to be addressed before the health conditions of the respective states are deteriorated. It is high time a collective effort is put in by the involved parties to guarantee adequate health and social care provisions to their citizens.
