Spacebar

Early healthcare was limited because:

Knowledge was limited - people did not understand the true causes of disease.
Technology didn’t exist - no microscopes, vaccines, antibiotics, or effective surgery.
Governments didn’t see public health as their job - little organised action to improve health.
