Let’s say one day you woke up with a deadly heart disease, except you weren’t living in Canada or the states, you grew up in Niger. What if I told you that you don’t get access or reap the same benefits we do in this country, that the only difference between you and another patient living in Canada was that she was going to make it out alive and you weren’t because she had access to an unlimited amount of medical resources, and you didn’t.
And that’s just because you grew up in different places.
She gets to be a survivor, go back to living her best life. And you, you get to know that the next time you see your family, friends, cousins, might be the last time. Feels pretty hopeless right?
To us it’s our greatest nightmare, but to so many people around the world, it’s a reality they have to deal with on a daily basis.
The Global Problem
Inefficient healthcare systems is not a new concept, it makes sense why we have them. Climate change, pollution, poverty (I could go on and on), the point is that there are so many people in trouble today because of past problems that just keep building on each other and causing so many people to be sick around the world.
