A Heart for the Work: Journeys Through an African Medical School by Claire L. Wendland is both an first hand account of time spent in an African medical school and hospital as well as a critique on Western medical practices. Dr. Wendland, an accomplished anthropologist and physician, provides a first hand account of her time in a Malawi, one of the poorest countries in the world. Through this account she provides insight into the complete journey a student must take to become a doctor in conditions much different than our own. These insights and research are used to argue that medicine, or biomedicine as it is called, is part of a cultural system and is predicated on the cultural ideals and resources of developed nations. Wendland uses the differences in moral order, technology, and resources between the Malawian culture and our own culture to provide evidence for her main argument.
During my numerous trips to Nigeria to visit my extended family, I saw firsthand how international health disparities can affect communities. It is often challenging to make the highest standard of care available to all groups and individuals here, and I became increasingly motivated to devote myself to the mission of reducing health disparities in African countries. People in my family, regardless of societal class, suffered from various illnesses including HIV/AIDS, malaria, and polio because of poor access to quality healthcare services. My goal is to return to underserved communities in the United States and Nigeria after being armed with the training from the University of Michigan School of Information that will allow me make

Africa is the cradle of the humanity, and the second most populated continent. West Africa has suffered from lack of infrastructure and healthcare. This handicap is characterised by the weather knowing that the west in close to the equator. The tropical climate bring a lot of mosquitos, wich brings malaria to the children and the women. One of the major need are the number of doctors is low. Most African countries import their medicine from the exterior: Ex Europe, India, Middle east theses countries just provide the medicine to the sub sahara region. The lack of technology for example,the Infrared thermography (IRT) used to determined if someone has cancer is not available in Africa due to the insufficiency of money.This cause a big gap between fortunate who can travel and get treat overseas and the who can not afford the tremendous cost. The importance of coming in help to West African healthcare is to develop strong relationship, because in some way if their healthcare is weak it can affect other continent. Some individual are willing to help the Africans countries. People are creating labs for African welfare. Big organization are currently providing heath supply to help treating diseases.

This idea is addressed within Binyavanga Wainaina’s “How to Write About Africa,” in which he satirically directs another to “treat Africa as if it were one country. It is hot and dusty with rolling grasslands and huge herds of animals and tall, thin people who are starving” (p.92). Wainaina’s point isn’t one of a figmentation, it reflects the way that misguided ideas about a hegemonic Africa have been disseminated. When addressed in respect to health care, this example shows as a reminder that Africa is a large continent, with various communities and networks of
I am originally from Togo, West Africa, and I moved to the United States of America about six (06) years ago to live with my parent. My country has a storage of several things such as the healthcare system, stable hospitals with experienced doctors and nurses, new technologies, and etc. In Africa, there are not enough medical equipment or modern technology to save lives. Hospitals are alienated by people who need them the most, and if people manage to go to the hospital, they do not have the money to pay the hospital bills. In addition, sometimes they have serious diseases that doctors cannot find a cure for. Ultimately, many people lose their lives every day to diseases that are not yet known, for instance, Ebola disease outrage. Healthcare is one of Africa’s biggest problems beside food crisis reason why I am engaging in medical studies, starting with a BSN degree at Clarkson College. If time allows, I will possibly pursue further studies in the field. Maybe someday, I will provide better training to my native country healthcare staff with my competence. I can probably assist them with new medical technology as well if my finances allow me.

Not only do they cure them, but they also leave a positive life changing impact on each person’s life that they are able to treat (“Medical
Communities may also submit data related to their flood hazards, flooding experience, and mitigation plans. FEMA, in coordination with participating communities, then maps hazards on a Flood Insurance Rate Map. Information contained in the map is used for floodplain management, flood insurance, and to help communicate flood risk to communities. While FEMA is responsible for creating the FIRM, the community must pass the map into state or local law in order for the map to take effect. Once adopted into state or local law, the FIRM guides communities’ adoption of minimum floodplain standards and determines whether the purchase of flood insurance is mandatory. FEMA is required to assess the need to revise floodplain areas and flood risk every five years, but it does not necessarily update the maps.
In today’s world there are hundreds of thousands of non-profit organizations (NPOs) established at the local, regional, national and international level, and their influence is increasing. Non-profit organizations even considered the third sector of the economy (the first two is the public and private, or commercial). It is believed that they have a special role in development of civil society. In those countries, which have largely shaped the system of legislative regulation of the sector (USA, UK, Australia, etc); the state spends huge sums on research programs in the field of standardization of the NPO.
