 Rift Valley Fever....HIV/Aids......A Testament to the Decrepid Public Health System in Sudan
|
Sudan has one of the highest infant, child and maternal mortality rates in the world. It is truly sad because at least
60%
of these are preventable. It is no surprise that diseases such as Rift Valley Fever and Aids have already impacted a sizeable portion of the underserved areas. Underserved not only in the number of health care facilities, but also in the lack of public health services. People in Sudan need awareness. Simple measure such as handwashing, proper food handling, pesticide control, adequate waste disposal,safe sex, can and will be of great value in preventing the problem and containing it should it occur. Prevention is the most cost effective approach to prevent a full blown crisis. In a country like Sudan, where there is no standard protocol in the approach of a physician to a problem, where there are no standard guidelines to follow, Spend money to prevent the condition rather than create mass medical schools that produce many ill equipped physicians
For those who still remain in Sudan, physicians and nutrionists and public health officials , use your skills to start this campaign.
Start by encouraging mothers to breast feed, not only will it prevent disease, it will prevent the contamination that is likely to occur with bottlefeeding.
Tell Women to examine their breast every month. Mammograms are not readily available, but use your hads to detect any change. One of every 8 women is at risk for breast cancer
Handwashing, especially doctors who examine patients every 30 minuted For those in the media, please use your unique position to deliver public heslth messges to the viewers
There is a place for everyone to participate in this campaign,,,,do not be sidetracked by chatterboxes in your midst Stand taller than your peers and began an initiative that will be felt in the coming generations .
Seat belts....does anyone use seatbelts in Sudan...that alone can save lives...infant seats...nonexistant in Sudan....those who work at Dal perhaps you can convinvce the higher ups to start a campaign of importing infant car seats and teach people how to use them...one of the commenest causes of child mortality are accidents
The private sector is our only hope ....in the US companies like Ford Motor Company,GE, Bill Gates foundation, have been credited with similiar actions
Nas Malik.. Nas Dal... Nas "Damas" ...Nas Ba Abboud...Nas Alwan... Nas Al Sudani.....Nas AlSahafa....Nas Sudanesonline step up to the plate use this unique medium that reaches many to play an active role in rehabilitating our system. The responsibilty is on all our shoulders
