This ranking is based on the concept of which aspect of health care must come first. Individuals must have access to health care before they can utilize it in
order to prevent such consequences as infant mortality. Read and Troendle (1997) indicate in their study of infant morality, which examined the period 1983 through 1987, that infectious diseases are
a significant cause of infant mortality. This empirical research shows that infectious disease constituted an underlying cause of death for over 16,000 infants during the study period. This statistic
provides a good case-in-point, in that the goal would obviously be the prevention of disease and/or cure, either through inoculation or through other medical interventions. In most cases, the infectious
disease that contributed to the deaths of these infants could have been either prevented through vaccination programs, or, once contracted, could have been effectively treated. However, in order to prevent
