What are the three goals the world has to improve quality of life?

• A. Health promotion; effective health care delivery systems; enhancement of the environmental structure.
• B. Eliminating poverty; achieving universal literacy; promoting industrial growth.
• C. Reducing global trade; maximizing profits; minimizing government involvement.
• D. Developing military capability; expanding space programs; reducing healthcare spending.

Answer: (A)

Improving quality of life hinges on three interrelated aims: promoting health, delivering effective health care, and enhancing the environment in which people live. Health promotion involves actions that prevent disease and support healthy choices—immunization, proper nutrition, physical activity, and reducing risk factors. An effective health care delivery system means people can access timely, affordable, and high-quality care when they need it, with strong primary care and reliable pathways for diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up. Enhancing the environmental structure covers creating safe, healthy surroundings—clean water and air, safe housing, proper sanitation, secure neighborhoods, and healthy workplaces—that minimize hazards and support well-being.

Together, these elements address the different levers that shape health outcomes and daily life, leading to a higher overall quality of life. The other options don’t fit this health-centered, integrated approach; they focus on broad economic or strategic goals rather than the trio of prevention, care, and environment that directly impact health and well-being.
