Opening Statement:

Think of the rough topography of human health as thisgood health areas as mountains, and poor health areas as valleys

What is human health?


The overall public health administration; research and education, categorical health programs, treatment and immunization clinics, nursing, environmental health activities such as air and water pollution control, and ambulance service if provided The health of an area is based on natural environment, cultural tradition, race/ethnicity, genetic predisposition and more.

UN Development Goals
Reduction of child mortality Eradication of extreme poverty and hunger Defeat of major diseases (HIV/AIDS)

AIDS AND HIV


Acquired immune deficiency syndrome, as known as AIDS, is a disease in which there is a severe loss of the body's cellular immunity, greatly lowering the resistance to infection and malignancy HIV/AIDS has killed more than 25 million people over the past 3 decades, mostly in Sub-Saharan Africa

Why is AIDS/HIV more prevalent more in some areas than others?


Low elevations and low latitudes have more variety of vectors than higher attitudes This creates an imbalance in the global disease concentration, creating mortal danger to locals in tropical Africa, South and Southeast Asia and other equatorial areas

Malaria
A parasitic disease that involves high fevers, shaking chills, flu-like symptoms, and anemia. Affects lowland tropical Africa, South and Southeast Asia and other equatorial areas

Cholera
Cholera is an infection of the small intestine that causes a large amount of watery diarrhea. Contaminated water supplies are the main source of cholera infection, although raw shellfish, uncooked fruits and vegetables, and other foods There are various factors that contribute to the dirtiness of the water in the periphery. The two main factors are lack of cleaning facilities and lack of water transport. As there are no pipes (due to money factors), the only way to get water is straight from a well. This, in turn, creates dirty water.

Malnutrition
The condition that occurs when your body does not get enough nutrients. Social factors that can contribute to malnutrition include:
living alone and being socially isolated limited knowledge about nutrition or cooking reduced mobility low income or poverty

IN CONCLUSION:
This unequal distribution of health-damaging

experiences is not in any sense a natural


phenomenon but is the result of a toxic combination of poor social policies, unfair

economic arrangements [where the already


well-off and healthy become even richer and the poor who are already more likely to be ill become even poorer], and bad politics.
