We live in a world where development occurs on a daily basis. Some of these developments are either positive or negative depending on the way we choose to look at it. These developments also affect the health sectors. There are so many diseases that are being isolated every day by researchers in various laboratories all around the world; some of these diseases are terminal ones while some of them are still manageable but cannot be totally cured. The amazing data on health shows that 90% of the people living in the developing economy are often not so informed about diseases and how to handle or control such diseases. Many in this region of the world have died from diseases that are unexplainable simply because the various equipments needed to diagnose these diseases are either not available, trained experts who are to handle the equipments scarce or are undergoing the brain drain syndrome.
INFORMATION IS KEY
There are various diseases in the world today some of them have treatments while some have no treatments. The alarming statistics about these diseases is that most people do not know about them and therefore may not be able to avoid coming down with any of these diseases. That is why I believe that releasing the right information at the right time will go a long way in helping us to solve this problem. I have therefore made a list of some of these diseases.
The list is in no particular order:
1. Malignant Mesothelioma:
2. HIV/ AIDS (human immune virus/ acquired immune deficiency syndrome)
3. Diabetes
4. Stress
5. Depression
6. Alzheimer
7. anxiety
These are just some of the diseases that we are faced with everyday. Some of these diseases are present in some people without actually knowing. It is not every one of us that have the opportunity of going for medical check up regularly; even some of those who are sick will go for self medication rather than visiting their doctors (that is if they have any). One important question I will hereby ask is who will win this war between man and the various diseases trying to bring man to extinction? The answer I believe is blowing in the wind.
