African Nations and Healthcare Systems.
The overall healthcare issue
within the AU member nations was something I discussed the other evening with a
few BEMA members on our discussion on immigration, cultural competency, African
Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (ACDCP), and the overall Ebola
pandemic within Western Africa.
My comment below is in response
to the Washington Post article posted in Facebook on ‘Why do two white
Americans get the Ebola serum while hundreds of Africans die?’ by Arthur L.
Caplan. (http://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2014/08/06/why-do-two-white-americans-get-the-ebola-serum-while-hundreds-of-africans-die/?wp_login_redirect=0
)
Regrettable the progression of
the serum distribution was part of my situational awareness and planning over a
month ago. But I wouldn’t have believed it would have taken such an
obvious turn.
Charles
BEMA.
Of
greater concern is how long has these types of practices been occurring within
the continent? It is time for each of the nations of the AU to take an active
role in the health and well-being of their constituents. The Ebola pandemic is
just one of past and future outbreaks that each nation has to consider the
overall health infrastructure for the security of their nation and their
constituents.
What are
the number of counterfeit drugs that are distributed throughout the continent
and by whom?
DO
pharmaceutical firms, production plants, and distributors fall under the realm
of national control? This is one area of great economic and potential
investment by U.S. and members of the diaspora to invest in with ethics being a
cornerstone of the their mission and vision for these industries. These
are other critical and fundamental concerns for the public health of any
nation. A national health care system is also a key factor within the
infrastructure.
Controlling
not only the economic, financial, entire supply-chain\side of their resources,
but also developing a health care system based and financed on their resources
involving the 'whole nation' in collaboration. From external business entities
ensuring corporate responsibility, public health officials, community
organizations and leaders.
Developing
a national health care plan that includes an added feature to immigrants from
their country that visit, are educated, or work in another country until
another health care plan sustains them. The issue of a home nation heath care
system that carries over with the immigrant.
The
issue of immigrants to all nations and any so called burden absorbed by the
receiving nation will be greatly reduced if healthcare is part of their home
countries other resource.
Would
this decrease the number of immigrants leaving one country to another as is the
case with the influx of immigrants to the U.S,\Mexican borders?
Is
healthcare part of the issue, rather than safety and security within their home
countries. Not only is water & food security an international issue a human
issue, but healthcare can be added to the list.
What
about an international health care plan?
