Why should a church be built instead of a hospital? Because a church is a rally point for $$. You start a hospital but where you find $$ to buy your medicine and employ your doctors? Donations?
Christians are much involved in life. Go find out about the church's overseas missions. I bet you know nothing about what our local churches do overseas. Find out about City Harvest Community Service etc.
To conquer disease, you need educated people. That's why Christians build schools - ACJC, AHS, ACS, MGS and what have you? Poverty vanished? Yah lah .. introduce people to the "health and prosperity" gospel! War eliminated .. yah lah that's why Jehovah's Witnesses don't want to be soldiers mah!
