Other than winning consumers heart and loyalty, cooperates are pushed now to demonstrate their ability to serve community through indirect programs.<\/p>\n<p>Corporate social responsibility has also become integral part of marketing as develop consumer relationship; many corporate have started developing dedicated programs in relevant or non-relevant fields of their product and services.<\/p>\n<p>The term \u201ccorporate social responsibility\u201d came in to common use in the late 1960s and early 1970s, after many multinational corporations formed. The term stakeholder, meaning those on whom an organization\u2019s activities have an impact, was used to describe corporate owners beyond shareholders as a result of an influential book by R. Edward Freeman, Strategic management: a stakeholder approach in 1984.[2] Proponents argue that corporations make more long term profits by operating with a perspective, while critics argue that CSR distracts from the economic role of businesses. Others argue CSR is merely window-dressing, or an attempt to pre-empt the role of governments as a watchdog over powerful multinational corporations. \u2013 Wiki<\/p>\n<p>Within the corporate world, the main \u201cresponsibility\u201d for corporations has historically been to make money and increase shareholder value.

Moreover, there is very little anticipation and slow response by authorities to tackle such challenges. Many government bodies are engaged in the management of diseases, and are not at all close to the prevention programs, which presents a major problem.<\/p>\n<p>Certainly, primary healthcare with a focus on prevention programs can bring relief. Collective experience with globally shared learning and understanding could be utilized more productively, and it would certainly bring better results. Needless to say, prevention should be the prime focus of any healthcare system or reform.<\/p>\n<p>A good Corporate Social Responsibility initiative will provide great platform for Healthcare Education and Prevention.<\/p>\n<p>For decades, business has been engaged in charity, philanthropy, and civic activities including social investments in health, however oftentimes these investments were less than strategic, and were not directed to real social change.
