Why is health a global issue?
Heath is a global issue for the solid fact that everywhere on the globe
there are humans built to survive the coldest winters and hottest summers,
ensuring the world stays in good health and supports all people, with clean
environments to keep germs from spreading, good physical health to keep
cancers and aging related illnesses, and mental health for a positive and
relaxing mental state.
The American University of the Caribbean school of medicine has created an
article on this very topic, commenting on not only mental health, but the
issue of famine stricken countries gone without proper nutrients.
“Hunger and famine remain global health problems despite significant
improvement in food security over recent decades. Even in wealthier
countries, natural disasters can expose political and economic inequalities,
and infrastructure is strained by population growth and environmental change.”
Food and by proxy the availability of food has always been a concern
for achieving global health, lots of areas are plagued with famines or
droughts, the climate has always challenged agriculture, and the poor
development of towns over the world has lead to getting food to these places
incredibly difficult, relying on volunteers, government aid, and donations.
The source speaks on environmental and political factors, and its reliable
for a number of reasons, for one it was posted august 28th 2023, only two
years old, and as a medical school filled with doctors and funded by the
government, its safe to say we can trust their information
The BMA also comments in an article about the challenges of global health,
specifically on the access of healthcare information, they state that tens
of thousands die in low resource countries due to the fact their carer or
health worker lacks the correct information.
They also mention HIFA (Health information for all) , a campaign that urges
people to join an email forum with information on health, currently
available in four different languages; there are less than 20,000 members,
all working to provide reliable information.
The BMA is a reliable source as well, as it links multiple other charities
and organizations as information sources, it was also recently updated 28th
of june 2024, showing that it keeps up with its information.
The Pubmed Central also posted an a article, written by Tobias Haseler
(GP lead for anticipatory care) and Christine Haseler (general practitioner)
, speaking on physical health after covid and the decline of physical
activity, it uses the WHO as a source to speak about the encouragement
they have recommended.
“World Health Organization guidance (updated in 2020) recommends a minimum
of 150-300 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity or 75-150 minutes
of vigorous intensity physical activity weekly, and encourages people to
exceed these targets.4 5” They use links to support their statements the
article also speaks on the benefits of physical activity and the ways it
can improve your life, giving you more energy, helping you sleep and
generally becoming happier.
The Pubmed is a reliable source because it links all references of
information it uses and was published in Feb 2022, only three years old.
fuck this.
