There are many challenges and obstacles to the full implementation social protection in Brazil include the need to reduce limitation in the provision of proper care to each specific type of

HIV/AIDS has been responsible for one of the worst epidemics in history. In her book “The Invisible Cure” Helen Epstein details why Africa in particular was so devastated by the disease, which countries failed and which succeeded in the struggle to contain the virus, and why this happened. Epstein highlights a particular phenomenon, that first took place in Uganda, but which can be translated to many countries and situations, and which she calls “the invisible cure.”

The sense of community and the encouragement of global study are what aspects of Agnes Scott College draw my attention.

Cuba In the recent years, Cuba has emerged as a world-class powerhouse of medicine in spite of having limited amount of resources, while the United States consumes over 10 to 20 times of what is essential for a beneficial and affordable healthcare system. Therefore, Cuba has been successful in achieving infant mortality rate lesser than that of the US, especially less than 50 percent of US Blacks. The existing debate over US healthcare system is not relevant to representing a path for poorer countries, such as Cuba, as over 30 percent of the country’s spending is an overhead by various private insurance companies. Such over budget includes a huge amount of over-treatment, which makes the poor sick by rejecting them treatment, creating illness and exposing them to contagious diseases through excess hospitalization and research based on disease rather than prevention.

Global University is a completely authorize non benefit Christian University, in the Pentecostal custom, based out of Springfield, Missouri. As an overall separation learning pioneer, the college incorporates training and administration through a system in 150 nations, including the United States. Its three primary dialects of direction are English, Spanish and French for undergrad programs.

The vision of Global University is to effect forever by achieving the lost and preparing the found, everywhere.Global University is both an instructive and a missions driven foundation.

The college relies on upon God and on the dependable backing of contributors to go ahead with missions ventures around the Winning so as to world."impacting forever the lost, preparing the found, EVERYWHERE!" This is the pulse of our main goal at Global University.

Cuba has built a health care system with preventative medicine as the foundation using education as a tool to reduce the effect of inequities in the social determinants of health 9. As a result, they were able to develop aggressive HIV/AIDS policy to target high risk populations and limit HIV transmissions. Cuba has a 0.1% prevalence rate of HIV and death due to AIDS is estimated to be less than 200 people 10,11. Transmission via intravenous drug use and blood transfusions is rare with 99% of cases resulting from sexual contact with an infected person. Men account for 81% of the HIV positive population

Brazil has a big AIDS epidemic trying to prevent and help people people with the AIDS virus. Just after the AIDS virus first came to Brazil, they had one of the highest AIDS cases reported. Just behind the United States. Though the number of cases has decreased, it still proves to be a major problem, not only in Brazil, but around the world. AIDS had affected mostly males at first, however, it eventually affected everyone who was exposed to the virus. AIDS has proved to be a very big problem, there are about four million new cases and about two and a half million people that die from AIDS each year.

1. Comment on the Brazilian and Indian governments’ strategies for the prevention of AIDS via the marketing of condoms.

Brazil’s economy was thriving which was allowing them to fund this epidemic. As stated before, there have been an overwhelming amount of support in this epidemic. However, none of solutions have made a drastic impact on the problem.There have been donations of billions of condoms for anyone to use and they offer free treatment for anyone with AIDS. They are also telling women about the disease and offering free testing and if needed, treatment for the disease (“A Portrait in Red” 1). Even though they are providing all these people with plenty of help, it still has not made a drastic change. It is not working because the people are not educated enough to know about the right thing to do. They cannot make the right decisions because they do not fully understand the disease. These are the previous solution and why they have not

In the 1960s and 1970s, small CHW programs began to emerge in various countries, particularly in Latin America. The experience from CHW programs predating the 1970s provided the inspiration for much larger CHW programs in many low-income countries in the 1980s. Following the failure of many of the programs in the 1980s and 1990s, new highly successful programs have emerged and, at present, as a result of research findings demonstrating the effectiveness of community-based programs in improving child health in particular, there is now a resurgence of interest and growth of CHW program. In Brazil, community health workers are working in the community and known as Community Health Agent (CHA). CHAs work as a link between two different sectors. In Brazil, community exercises effective control of actions and health services

There are many characteristics of AIDS patients in Brazil. Statistics confirm that the HIV epidemic is focused between key residents. In addition, the last three years have shown a change in the age profile of described HIV. Most notable cases have been seen in younger individuals. The highest percentage of infection is with people aged 30–49 in 2013 (AIDS in Brazil, 2016). Poor health service is one of the main reasons that led people to suffer from AIDS in Brazil because some regions do not have good health services. Injection of drugs also is the main cause of the spread of HIV. In Brazil, 25% of HIV and AIDS cases are linked to drugs use (Cracking up, 2013). Sharing equipment and dirty needles for using drugs transfer HIV too. Add to this,

Although ninety-five percent of people living with HIV/AIDS are in developing countries, the impact of this epidemic is global. In South Africa, where one in four adults are living with the disease, HIV/AIDS means almost certain death for those infected. In developed countries however, the introduction of antiretroviral drugs has meant HIV/AIDS is treated as a chronic condition rather than a killer disease. In developing countries like South Africa, the drugs that allow people to live with the disease elsewhere in the world, are simply too expensive for individuals and governments to afford at market price.

Over the past few decades Brazil has made major improvements to its healthcare system. Before 1988, half of Brazil’s population did not have health care coverage (World Health Organization). This changed when Brazil implemented Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde) which provided universal free healthcare coverage for its citizens. Since its enactment, 75% of Brazil’s population now rely on Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) as their sole provider of health coverage, making it the largest public health system in the world (World Health Organization).

As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, it is imperative to understand how societies interact and the issues they are facing. I have been interested in languages, cultures, and international affairs for many years which is why I have decided to major in Global Studies. To broaden my global perspective, I am currently participating on St. Lawrence University's Global Francophone Cultures program where I am studying abroad in Quebec, Canada; Rouen, France, and Dakar, Senegal. In addition to learning the French language, the main area of focus for this year's program is immigration. One of the courses I am taking is called, “The Age of Migration: Labor Mobility in the EU.” In this course we have read various articles on immigration, researched countries immigration policies, and are studying the economics of immigration. We
