Lack of Healthcare in Zimbabwe

     Ethiopia has become a country plagued with famine and disease. Many people die every day because there is no money to treat them. Ethiopia has an extremely poor health status, even compared to poorer

I believe that one of the most pressing health care issues facing the nation would be the lack of access to quality healthcare services. At the clinic, most patients are financially disadvantaged and unable to gain access to quality healthcare services elsewhere due to lack of adequate insurance coverage. The inability to access quality healthcare services can have severe consequences: not only are these people unable to get the proper treatment for their ailments, but their inability to access quality healthcare can lead to further complications, higher treatment costs, and emotional distress. Fortunately, Drs. Alieta and John Eck have managed to provide adequate medical care for most of their patients at the clinic.

According to the Bloomberg website, the United States is ranked 50th out of the 55 countries that were assessed as a country having one of the least efficient healthcare systems. Not a very good rank for such a developed country. More importantly, it is not very good for a country that is considered to be a high-income country. It brings up the question asking how other health care systems are in other countries around the world especially in low income countries. What are the affects by having limited access to health care in counties like Guinea, Ethiopia, or Mali? Below are a few ways in which low income countries are affected by having little access to health care services.

Countries like Rwanda are in intensely bad shape, and most all African countries have some form of an epidemic of disease, poverty, or malnutrition.

Australia and Zimbabwe have several differences in many aspects including the area of health care. With $42540 of the Gross national income per capita, Australia is classified as high World bank income, compare to Zimbabwe with $1560, which categorised low Wold bank income. As the country’s income is high, Australia has established a better health care system than Zimbabwe.

The residents of Africa are suffering from preventable, treatable, and fatal diseases everyday at a higher rate compared to developed countries. The healthcare crisis in Africa is the primary cause of all these deaths, and includes inefficient healthcare systems. Consequently, African's inefficient healthcare systems results in poor delivery of care and a shortage of health professionals. The healthcare crisis in Africa is a current issue impacting the lives of many African's who don't have the same access to resources as developed countries such as the United States. These resources can save the lives of many African's dying of preventable and curable disease, and understanding why the African continent has little access to them

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. African is well known for all the serious diseases it contain. with today 's world, and all the diseases Africa has suffered from a century of negligence toward healthcare. Even though West Africa is slowly getting on its feet after being

The Global Health Crisis is a major problem in our world today that could lead to many other issues in our global economy and political systems. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 36 million people die every year due to diseases such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, and out of the 36 million people about 6 million children die under the age of 5 because of diseases. Everyday, many families have to go through the most miserable time in their lives, seeing a loved one pass away. In the United States, many have been able to get access to healthcare through the Affordable Care Act. However, in many countries throughout the world, hospitals and doctors are very limited at extremely high expenses.

Health Deprivation: A staggering two hundred seventy million children are subjected to sub-par or non-existent health services. With illnesses going untreated, it not only lowers their life expectancy but also may cause harm to others and bring about new epidemics that, left untreated, is globally catastrophic. This is not far from becoming a reality with a quarter of children in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa not receiving any of the eight essential immunisations of the World Health Organisation.

On April 18, 1980, Zimbabwe became an independent country. It had been under the rule of the British before independence was gained. The day of independence marked an end to racial segregation. The path to liberation however, took many lives. Before Zimbabwe was an independent country, the colony was named Rhodesia. It was ruled under the government of Southern Rhodesia.

Poor infrastructure in African countries has exacerbated the problem as well, as hospitals are too ill-equipped and ill-staffed to deal with these sorts of outbreaks. Some hospitals have even been unable to contain its patients, with infected individuals wandering away from the medical facilities or crawling out into the streets to die.

Health care in third-world/developing countries is vastly different than that health care in first-world/developed countries. In 1994, AZT became the first approved treatment for HIV. Pertinent studies showed that prenatal administration of AZT to HIV positive pregnant and subsequent postnatal administration to their babies resulted in a reducing mother to infant transmission from 25% to 8%. This change in the course of such a devastating illness helped to alter the mindset that having HIV was a death sentence. AZT was shown to slow the spread HIV significantly. It is important to note that AZT cannot stop the spread of HIV completely, but it is a viable treatment method that attempts to control and slow the condition.

In Southern Africa, the health systems also struggle with governmental inefficiencies. An example of this can been seen when examining the story of a doctor from Botswana in the early 2000’s. Ndwapi Ndwapi was born and raised in Botswana, but attended medical school in the United States (Hilts). When Ndwapi returned to Botswana in order to work, even though he was specialized, he was forced to follow the government’ health system and start working at a low ranking job. Not only was this a low ranking job but also the pay was $2,500 a year, which was significantly less than he could have made working in the United States. Initially this caused Ndwapi to be angry and frustrated, but he stuck with it because he understood that there was a great need for physician in his country, especially ones that understood
