What is the relation between population growth and health planning?

Growing population increases demand for hospitals and health workers

Health planning must match the number and needs of the people living in an area. When population grows, more people may require hospitals, clinics, medicines, vaccinations, emergency care, and trained health workers. Planning only the present facilities can create overcrowding and longer waiting times. Population growth does not automatically cause every health problem, but it clearly increases the scale of services that must be planned.

Option A is correct because a larger population generally creates greater demand for hospitals and health workers. Option B wrongly separates population from health, while C gives the opposite of the real planning need. Option D is also too narrow: weather can affect health, but health planning depends on population, disease patterns, resources, location, and access as well.
