Summary: Societal health concerns are beginning to quickly become more of a global health risk. Infectious disease are becoming more and more of a problems and not only affects the population but also the economy and the world as a whole. About 80 percent of nations are not prepared to tackle, treat and stop infectious diseases that turn into a pandemic. Cancer along with other particular disease are another epidemic that still does not have a vaccination or cure. Sadly, a third of these deaths are preventable if the nation was able to properly educated and facilitate their civilians. The most common types of cancer are lung, breast, colorectal, liver as well as stomach. These types of cancer are most common in developing countries. Cervical cancer which is actually preventable with a HPV vaccination is the number four cause of cancer death in women world wide. The reason for women dying of a preventable type of cancer is due to lack of screening and treatment in areas that are not as developed as needed.
Analysis: Unfortunately health can become a type of luxury in particular countries around the world. Some developing countries do not have the resources to be able to reach out to it’s civilians and help prevent and diagnose infectious diseases and cancers that could be a threat. When comparing a developed country to a less developed one would be that 35 women out of 100,000 received a diagnoses of cervical cancer whereas a developed country there would be 7 out of 100,000. It is important to raise awareness that many of the disease that men and women are dying from are in fact preventable and undeveloped countries may need to seek assistance from those that are developed.
