This tells us that the place that is affected by Ebola; a disease that is like a high-threat pathogen, is critical. The chances of these critical diseases being increased and affecting more places are increased.
Primary Health Care
- Basic health care is very important for everyone to have access to all around the world. In order to stay away from bigger and worse diseases, proper and Primary Health Care is something that needs to be provided to everyone. Yet, still, there are some countries that don’t have any access to these Primary Health Care Facilities.
Now, the World Health Organization is working on improving the Primary Health Care services in these countries with partners.
Hesitant or Ignore the Need For the Vaccine
- There is a huge amount of people who feel hesitant or ignore the need for the vaccine; despite having it available near them. Vaccine, as we know is one of the most effective ways of avoiding all sorts of diseases, and prevents about some 2.3 million deaths every year.
But further going, the rest 1.5 million deaths due to diseases can also be avoided if the coverage and intake of vaccine would improve globally.
Dengue Fever
- Dengue fever is a kind of disease that can kill up to 20% of people being affected by it. This flu-like disease which is caused by a mosquito bite has been increased in a number of cases affected with it, during rainy seasons in India and Bangladesh. Now, as this disease is spreading in more temperate countries and less tropical ones, 40% of the world is now at the risk of being affected with dengue fever.
