Infrastructure changes certainly affect the prevalence of diseases and how they are treated; however, the benefits trickle down in an ambiguous way. There are funds and programs that seek governmental, political, and ideological change in order to reduce disease, but it is difficult to engage the American public (for instance) in these initiatives because the results are hard to quantify and most people will not be able to participate. Anyone can donate a bednet. Not everyone can go to African villages to convince the local officials to pour money into the health system. <br /><br />So, to sum it up: Yes, there are other ways to improve the situation, but they're not easily advertised.Ana Revenanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02028779146011353702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013086591785997680.post-18743452218090513052010-05-12T23:41:20.211-04:002010-05-12T23:41:20.211-04:00Ideally I would like to follow an 80/20 rule, with...Ideally I would like to follow an 80/20 rule, with 80% going toward direct methods like Nothing But Nets, and 20% going toward longer-term infrastructure solutions.aperrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00555622256451854781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013086591785997680.post-81232059672808904592010-05-12T23:31:53.993-04:002010-05-12T23:31:53.993-04:00I wonder how many of these preventable diseases ar...I wonder how many of these preventable diseases are going untreated because of lack of infrastructure and political instability (which often accompanies it)? To flip that around the other way, could these diseases be prevented or these deaths minimized, by supporting political and infrastructure solutions? So much of aid seems to be direct aid that buys things like nets. Certainly that is one practical way to fight the problem, but is there any way to promote better infrastructure too?aperrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00555622256451854781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013086591785997680.post-63967402559899120932010-05-11T21:54:12.871-04:002010-05-11T21:54:12.871-04:00Malaria is awful.
