'S HEALTH QUOTES
To my dear sister Haydee Juliet
Mexican example of love of life and culture
U.S. business.
For thousands of years human health is considered as one of the most precious of man and no wonder since it depends on the ability to work, survive and enjoy life. Unfortunately the more harangue the man his value, it seems to recede and no epidemiological information system of the world convince you otherwise. Any positive number handled in isolation does not contradict the deterioration of health as a general trend.
The proliferation of all kinds of diseases are sweeping the planet including both the societies of abundance to the less developed today are worse than half a century ago without leaving it completely from the diseases of poverty and instead adopted, and increasingly, the pattern of cardiovascular and chronic degenerative diseases prevalent in developed nations where the industrial and financial capital has become the most profitable commodity in the world.
Meanwhile the mass media are responsible to encourage admiration for the beauty of human body health if only through professional sports events like the Pan American Games or the Olympics at the same time that millions of spectators in stadiums or at home, cool root alcoholic drinks and their sedentary lifestyle.
What is happening to the health of Mexicans? You really are doing for her what we say and how much cluck our rulers? Are there any federal or state official who has the audacity to publish a health certificate of Veracruz after the recent floods? The local MP recently asked Flavin Rivers and requested an explanation on the proliferation Cancer in South Florida. No one answered what you asked. Could it be that now is the time to speak the truth and leave the greatest deception in which we lived for half a century during which the Mexicans believe the so-called "national health" system that is neither health nor ?
Is it not now time to recognize that what we "do for health" undo what the mode of production and living? Why church authorities preached compassion for the sick and do not condemn the production and consumption and carcinogenic pollutant? Why in this respect the role of the education system is so poor? "Nothing will change unless you change each person, "said my sister. Agree, but I spent two months in the U.S. and did not see on any television channel promoting the massive bombing of consumption of junk that is Mexico the world's first childhood obesity, a prelude to diabetes mellitus and other diseases.
Mishaps by natural or industrial risks, hunger and poverty, calamities and pandemics everything has become "normal events" or news show "impact" of fleeting feeling in viewers, is it true that the media captive audiences massive demand "reality show" no matter what the degree of violence, suffering or cruelty? There are plenty of world facts that prove that the health and preservation of life is much more talk than action and actually live in a delusion to applaud. We live in permanent radioactive and chemical hazards and do not know if you know or do not say anything. All this is handled as "state secrets" or "here does not go rules" and less on pre-election time!! And is that health is also a political banner and more profitable! Did
abate child and maternal mortality is enough for our leaders sing victory through political intentions clear reports? Is certified to the World Health Organization in the past five decades, Mexico has managed to increase life expectancy of its population and it has played an important role in health policy. This is true but very average for a lie that these achievements mean more quality of life. In other words, certainly half a century of health programs have allowed to live longer but with poor quality by increasing cardiovascular diseases and chronic degenerative precisely because there was no change in quality of life in most of the Mexicans. Consequently, the care of these diseases triggered the budget needs to unattainable levels. If Mexico borrowed for the Bank World to buy the flu vaccine Where will the resources for hospitalization and treatment of cancers that are increasing rapidly and are a thousand times more expensive?
certainly bring down maternal and infant mortality is a noble social goal. That as far as all the goals and health programs, become demagogic is the manipulative use that presents them as "the great social work" by a government when it comes to a constitutional right that evil is true because it is not the same the right to health to recover medical services without changing the socio-economic causes that led to the delay or lose in the "health determinants" expressed in the jargon of the World Health Organization (WHO) An example is enough: the city of Córdoba needs an estimated investment of 1000 million dollars to have a truly comprehensive system of water and sanitation and that 95% of its water the untreated wastewater discharged to waterways and rivers that cross affecting the health, quality of life and the attraction of productive investment. What is not so much lost to win, and what you pay for healing its inhabitants?
among politicians of all parties much talked of "the Mexican health system" also among experts in international forums but no one dares to doubt that as such such a system exists when in fact we are several systems for disease care, which is not the same.
rulers used to say that its main concern is the health and repeated a thousand ways to phrase with that meaning even more what is said than done. Nobody is morally and politically suicidal doubting that what is done for health is the best!
At the head of a government can be a professional with a social vision, political and administrative experience and the desire to improve the quality of health services - one of the most pressing demands of society today. However, in the case of Veracruz these services depend almost 20.000 workers at all levels and integrated profiles in various organizations and structures while the stewardship of health policy is the responsibility of the federation where major decisions are taken. If the goal is to improve the quality of health services this is not set strengths and weaknesses of public policy where the best intentions are shattered when confronted with all kinds of vested interests than trade union, political or economic.
When I published The Governance in Health Policy hopes that the new administration to undertake an effort at dialogue and consensus among all actors in the health sector that way be made explicit commitments and expectations in a strategy of mobilizing resources for health promotion as the only certain and sustainable path as recommended by WHO and as stated by the National Development Plan. I think I was wrong and as I reiterated a prestigious journalist and political analyst, "feeling," to ask the impossible.
But the reality is much more stubborn man and sooner or later the truth prevails and there are increasingly more voices that support the health and life are not compatible with unbridled capitalism, or the centrality of public administration and less government paternalism comes from those who in any symbol or ideology and what kind of play from the structures of public power either comes from the user population adapted to it.
Does anyone now doubt that human suffering as the attention of all kinds of illnesses are the gold mine and the world's most lucrative business? What head conceivable that this mega business suits the decline or disappearance of patients and diseases? And if it is to strengthen political legitimacy, did the health programs are not the best tools?
The business of the century - the pharmaceutical industry achieved such power that operates in complete freedom, above all collective interest of all governments. Legislation and international norms and national governments is simple requirement. At the head of the FDA is challenged today by thousands of organizations and alternative projects. Much
speech and shocked about drug violence in Mexico and in the world but none of the silent murderer, cancers and all kinds of chronic degenerative diseases that are multifactorial but have one common denominator: unconsciousness and irresponsibility with which we live prisoners of technology, modes of production, consumption and lifestyles which are destroying the health and life accrue while the fortunes of a few.
Are we a society increasingly strong and healthy or are we a society increasingly weak, sick and vulnerable in their immune system? Who tells the truth about the health of Veracruz or all Mexicans?
no mistake, it is healthier society with more hospitals, doctors and medicines, but the least need of it. Sure, it's cheaper and viable to invest in hospitals, doctors and medicines that improve the food, water and sewer systems, housing, effective pollution control, prohibition of carcinogens, etc. Well
the House would Deputies agreed and incorporated as a special commission to discuss with their counterparts Americans on the arms trade, another committee was constituted with the same representatives of the neighboring country to dialogue on trade of thousands of carcinogens that we import, many of which have already been banned in the U.S. or Europe. Why better our federal representatives do not require our representative to the UN to promote a settlement that carcinogens are banned worldwide? Only then would no longer be banned in some countries and authorized for sale in others. No doubt there are too many quotes health.
