to bring as nations around the world crown scramble outbreaks under control, Dr. Raj Panjabi is concerned that the world’s poor have access treatments and preventive measures excluded, a scenario that does not call “viral apartheid.” “I this concept easy to use,” said Punjabi, with TIME senior writer Alice Park during a discussion in conversation 100 on May 28, “the idea that a group of people talking, if it comes to vaccines, treatments or tests – will get access to these vital lifesaving tools, and that those who are rich and powerful nations in these countries and the poor in these countries and the poorest countries of the world obtained from the excluded is probably actually the history of any pandemic, that happened in humanity. ” Panjabi, CEO and founder of Last Mile welfare, a career batting spent only those types of questions. His organization trains health workers in essential medical services, such as vaccines and neonatal care, to provide ‘ “last mile” to bridge to remote communities in countries such as Liberia, where last mile health has been for the past 10 years . As Panjabi TIME says that this type can save health infrastructure community based both life and help the economic crisis of the crown. For example, countries may be unemployed regular contact tracing, a tactic that mitigate the health crisis and to create much-needed jobs at the same time in health care. To isolate the persecution and exposed individuals, prior to further spread the virus, this tracer in contact may also contribute to an open economy and employs more people. “Outbreaks start and stop in the community,” he says. “If we can make people from the most affected areas to rent part of the medical team, I think we have a better chance of bridging the significant gap.” And when vaccines are eventually made to distribute these newly trained health workers and manage the vaccines may be able to expand their skills. “One of the options they have, I think, in the United States and other countries, is really to break this false narrative that has been created that we need to save lives or save jobs,” he explained. “In fact we are able to create jobs and save lives.” Panjabi has illusions about the scale of the global crisis, especially in developing countries. An April Economic Commission for Africa report predicts that the continent 300,000,000,000 to 3.3000000 of deaths that had seen its crown this year. In places with limited health infrastructure, the pandemic could create setbacks in the fight against other scourges, such as measles, which caused more than 140,000 deaths worldwide in 2018. “We see that in many low and middle income countries that a double threat there, the same virus, but there is a threat from the fact that people are dying of other epidemics because the virus of health systems to interfere, “said Punjabi. However, there have been notable successes have been, says Panjabi, such as the use of South Africa 28,000 contact tracers. “They were in the first month on the screen seven million people in the situation. The offer is one of 10 South Africans.” These measures may lessons for the creation of community health facilities in the US, which led to 27 May 100000 crown dead. “Imagine if the seventh Boston 10 Bostonians before,” said Panjabi. “Community Health Workers are crucial to help test, trace, see the for the treatment and for the isolation and support. And we can not do that without a community-based approach.” Copyright Image
