Without good health even we cannot think appropriately and act properly and expect the society to keep moving smoothly. It is a known fact that without proper health we cannot expect the proper social inclusion of any community in any way. An in-depth study of social determinants on health culture of any society will help in understanding complete knowledge of etiology, various health issues and policy drawbacks etc of nay society. Understanding social determents on health would be more useful in planning geographic and cultural specific health care programmes for the rural people in the county. Holistic knowledge of social determinates will be helpful in understanding health seeking behavior of the people and this will provide valuable insight in framing ground level public health policies in the country.
