    • The top two diseases, Upper Respiratory Tract Infection (URTI) and Gastritis, each accounted for 1,000 cases, making them the most common conditions observed in this dataset.
    • Respiratory-related diseases such as Diseases of the Respiratory System and Respiratory Tract Infection (RTI) are significant contributors, highlighting potential public health concerns in these areas.
  2. 2. Gender Distribution:

    • Most diseases show a relatively balanced gender distribution; however, notable differences are observed in conditions like Gastritis and Arthritis, where a higher percentage of female patients are reported.
    • This could suggest a need for targeted health interventions and awareness programs for specific demographics.
  3. 3. Focus Areas for Health Services:

    • The high incidence of respiratory conditions suggests that healthcare providers may need to enhance services related to respiratory health and preventive care.
    • Addressing conditions with significant gender disparities could improve health outcomes by tailoring health education and services accordingly.

Conclusion

This data reflects important trends in disease prevalence and gender distribution among patients. Understanding these factors is crucial for healthcare planning, resource allocation, and targeted health interventions to improve patient care and outcomes.
