INTRODUCTION

The matter content related to the present work is introduced under different appropriated sub-headings as
given below:

1.1 INTRODUCTION
People can be divided into three groups. One group contains people who are suspicious, imaginative, or
lonely. Members of this group are attracted to health centers even when they are healthy. These types of
people lean to waste the time and money of health facilities that someone with real sickness could have
utilized. Second group contains people who are ignorant, or unconcerned. Members of this group tend to
hide their illness, causing their health to devastate.
