The Economic Impact of Rickets on Healthcare Systems

In my latest study, I've looked into the economic impact of Rickets on our healthcare systems. It's clear that this preventable bone disease, largely caused by Vitamin D deficiency, imposes a significant financial burden. Not only are treatment costs high, but there are also indirect costs such as missed school or work days. Moreover, the long-term effects of the disease can lead to chronic illness, further straining healthcare resources. Preventative measures could reduce these costs significantly, highlighting the need for improved public health strategies.
