Present Status of healthcare in the world
Despite incredible improvements in health since 1950, there are still a number of challenges, which should have been easy to solve. Consider the following:
- One billion people lack access to health care systems
- Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one group of conditions causing death globally. An estimated 17.5 million people died from CVDs in 2005, representing 30% of all global deaths. Over 80% of CVD deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries.
- About 11 million children under the age of 5 die from malnutrition and mostly preventable diseases, each year
- In 2002, almost 11 million people died of infectious diseases alone, far more than the number killed in the natural or man-made catastrophes that make headlines. (These are the figures presented by the World Health Organization.)
- There are 8.8 million new cases of Tuberculosis (TB) and 1.75 million deaths from TB, each year.
- 1.6 million People still die from pneumococcal diseases every year, making it the number one vaccine-preventable cause of death worldwide.
- Malaria causes more than 300 million acute illnesses and at least 1 million deaths, annually.
- More than half a million people, mostly children, died from measles in 2003 even though effective immunization costs just 0.30 US dollars per person, and has been available for over 40 years.
