Abstract
Today we all know that the problems in human
health are increasing day by day. There are many
reasons behind this like incompetence of
experienced doctors and new diseases. We give
some solutions after done survey on problems in
heath department. If they follow these solutions
they can provide best facilities to peoples and help
them to cure from these diseases. It is very
important for them to come to know about new
human diseases like cancer, TB, HIV, swine flu
etc. According to our survey we have shown using
data mining that some new diseases like swine flu
and HIV is increasing rapidly in these days. It also
includes a survey questionnaire which takes all the
factors in to count and before starting actual
survey a pilot study for this questionnaire was
done, which confirms its acceptance.
Keywords: Healthcare Services, Public
Expenditure on Health, Technologies, Staff,
Patients, Work Culture
1. Introduction
Enhancement becomes the basic need for
Health Department Because Enhancement in
health system is solution for patients. It helps
patients restore to health from diseases. It also
helps in social welfare. The Health Department
like DMC Ludhiana, Dr. Balian Heart Centre
Dhuri and PGI Chandigarh has already enhanced
new technology but some medium level Jindal
Heart Institute Bathinda, Rajindera Hospital
Patiala wants to implement it. For these Health
Department before implementing New Technology
a survey of Problems of Health Department is
must. Here are some of the bare facts about the
lives of our rural brethren:
Villagers have no access to healthcare
providers.
10% of all babies die before their first
birthday.
50% of all babies are likely to be
permanently stunted due to lack of proper
nutrition.
2. Rise of Lifestyle diseases
While rural India battles third world diseases
like malaria and dengue, rising urbanisation has
led to the middle and upper classes being bothered
with „developed world‟ lifestyle diseases like
diabetes and fatness. A fast food culture, increased
smoking and alcohol consumption has led to a rise
in fatness related diseases like diabetes and
cardiovascular ailments.
3. Factor categories
This questionnaire considers all the factors
effecting human health in every corner of the
world and most probably all these factors are taken
according to their suitable priority. It includes
major factors and all these factors are taken as
questions which can be answered in five different
ways (Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Neutral,
Agree, strongly Agree) according to which human
diseases can be cured.
4. Classifiers

6. Conclusions
After mentioning all data I can conclude that
there are many factors which put effect on human
health problems but if the focus would be given
on these problems we can completely get freedom
from these diseases. if doctors give attentions on
above solutions I think they will be able to help
human beings by escaping from these diseases.
