Health issues in Undeveloped Countries.

Undeveloped countries face many issues regarding basic needs for their population. Without a doubt, the ones I consider the most important and at the same time the ones that have been more neglected over the years are definitely Health Service and Education. Given this blog's concerns, I'll focus on Health Service.

I live in an Undeveloped Country myself, I can say for experience that our public health service is a mess in all levels, knowing it all comes down to the awfully organized system we lead and the extremely low funds destined to public Health. One day, I started thinking about the situation in my country and compared it with other as well Undeveloped Countries, as our own very neighbour Haiti. I came up with some interesting thoughts and I hope we can all analyse them and discuss them together.

1. Resources to invest in health.
There are different kind of resources needed in the health field for it to develop successfully; there's infrastructural resources -hospital, health centres, others-, material resources -medicine, vaccines, disposables, etc.-, human resources -nurses, doctors, health care professionals, etc.-, among other types.

In my country we count with those resources, we just misuse them big time. Public health is not really given for free to the poor population, it is just cheaper than private; everything cost. It is for sure that public health don't provide the best to the population, not the best infrastructure, not the best human resources and definitely not the best material... but at least we count on them.

Countries like Haiti and Africa don't count with such "luck" -guess we may called like that when compared-, I can't quite speak for Africa but it's a fact that Haiti lacks these basics. Could they use donations to change this reality? I personally believe they could. When we combined this components I mentioned early, I think it is possible to achieved an acceptable health quality. The important question is How to maintain it?
