The organization’s staff is responding to the poor living conditions of the Rohingya. Many migrants from Myanmar have fled their country to neighboring countries. Myanmar is a place where the government has refused to give any Muslim a citizenship since 1948. Myanmar’s forces have killed, tortured and raped many Rohingya. Villages were found destroyed, which left many villagers nowhere to go. The Rohingya are known as “Illegal Bengali Immigrants.” Thousands upon thousands have left their country by boats. However, places near Burma such as Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Bangladesh, and Thailand choose not to associate with any Rohingya because the Rohingya can carry trouble on their shoulders. The armies can bring harm to citizens who are not even a part of this epidemic.The Rohingya are in a state of crisis. Doctors without borders have provided aid to many Rohingya for the past few years, but have been very difficult for them. Myanmar’s forces have been an obstacle for the Doctors Without Borders organization. Myanmar’s government has scattered their armies all over Burma which it makes it difficult to treat the Rohingya because it can be very hazardous. Nonetheless, the Doctors Without Borders have put their best effort in aiding the …show more content…
The economic condition in Yemen has disintegrated. The closure by the Saudi-led coalition is affecting goods imported to Canada and some charitable aid. It has deprived access to food, water, and health care for Yemenis citizens. The president of Yemen Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi’s transition with former president Ali Abdullah Saleh had failed. There was an increase in unemployment, food insecurity, bombings, and a separatist movement in the south. All of this had triggered a massive war in Yemen.There were many people who were loyal to the new president and people who were part of a political Shia rebel group who were loyal to the former president Saleh. Since 2014, 10,000 people were killed by the Saudia Arabia Military and more then 3 million people were forced out of there homes. Places in Yemen are overflowed with garbage all over the streets and people do not have access to clean drinking water. The Doctors Without Borders Campaign treat people who are injured, provide people with clean drinking water and food. More than 32,900 patients have received treatment by Doctors without Borders Organization. There are many Doctors Without Borders campaign scattered through all of Yemen. Moreover, Yemen is grateful to have Doctors Without Borders cooperating with
Third world countries and underdeveloped nations have become the new proverbial Petri dish of experimentation and offer particular conditions which researchers would never be able to find in their home countries. This only serves to highlight the problem that inherently faces all research studies, the ethical debate in regards to the protection and rights of their subjects. Is it feasible to expect the same standards to apply in certain countries where an economical imbalance between what is possible and what is not can be the largest hurdle to overcome? These are key issues examined in the New England Journal of Medicine by author Marcia Angell, M.D., and co-authors Harold Varmus, M.D. and David Satcher, M.D. in their respective articles that consider the ethical standards that should prevail in such circumstances. Should researchers be upheld to universal standards, or are the standards more applicable in a “local” sense, where the conditions and the constraints of the location provide the context for how the principles should be applied?
...out sanitation, infrastructure, and hygiene can greatly reduce global health disparities worldwide. In addition, research is another fundamental necessary in ensuring human health quality for individuals. I admire the researchers who commit in finding answers to fight against chronic diseases occurring worldwide. I have significantly respect the researchers who work together in discovering new diseases and treatments affecting individuals globally and not only fulfilling one country’s needs. It is my desire to become one of those researchers in the next ten years contributing in global health and decreasing global health inequalities in order to provide health care equality for every human being living in the world. We need to work together, globally, and collaborate in order to end health inequalities and the pursuit of human equality in the sake of social justice.
“War torn nations left bullet-ridden ruins, native people forced to flee and find new homes in foreign places-this is the reality of the refugees.” First of all what is a refugee? Refugees are normal everyday people who are forced to flee their homes because they are afraid to stay in their home country. And when they do flee, they may be obliged to leave behind family members, friends, a home, a job, and other special possessions. One of these refugees is a war-torn child who suffered the harsh realities of the 1975 Vietnam war.
The lack of nationalism also proved to be a conflict for the people of Burma or Myanmar. The militaristic government’s philosophy of ruling isolated left people to live in absolute poverty and is a major human rights concern.
Early 2011 uprisings swept across the Middle East and North Africa, and many rebellions are still going on today. The Arab region has seen revolts and conflict since the 1800‘s, but only recently have these revolts been redirected to the problems of Arab society (Ghannam, J. 2011 pg 4-5)The Arab Spring Uprising was first sparked in Tunisia and eventually struck Algeria, Jordan, Egypt, Yemen and then spread to other countries. Citizens throughout these countries were dissatisfied with the rule of their local governments. Issues like human rights violations, political corruption, economic decline, unemployment, extreme poverty, dictators...
In 1979 the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan and during the occupation all but 200 of the countries 1,500 doctors were executed, imprisoned or exiled. All relief and humanitarian organizations were sent out of Afghanistan. This meant that those who were ill or injured had nowhe...
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are like any other organization. They have set goals for their organization to help make them improve and make them more efficient and successful. The CDC's goals are “to protect health” and support “quality of life by prevention and control of disease, injury and disability” (...
In conclusion, the ultimate significance to this type of work is to improve the quality of healthcare in these extremely impoverished nations. This argument is represented in Tracy Kidder’s Mountains Beyond Mountains, Monte Leach’s “Ensuring Health Care as a Global Human Right”, and Darshark Sanghavi’s “Is it Cost Effective to Treat the World’s Poor.” The idea that universal healthcare is a human right is argued against in Michael F. Cannon’s “A “Right” to health care?” Cannon claims that it would not work, and fills the holes that the other authors leave in their arguments. All of these articles share the same ultimate goal, and that is to provide every individual with adequate health care, and to not let so many people die from things that could easily have been prevented or treated.
“If you look at the human condition today, not everyone is well fed, has access to good medical care, or the physical basics that provide for a healthy and a happy life.” This quote by Ralph Merkle shows that something so easily taken for granted is healthcare. Most of us wouldn’t even think about it as a privilege, something that has just always been there and always will. In America, we would never even imagine not being able to receive medical care in our times of need, in other countries that is not at all the case. Many will die from easily preventable and treatable diseases because they do not have medical care. The charity Doctors of the World is committed to helping those who do not have easy access to medical care

With the known death toll of Myanmar Muslims and other minority groups increasing and the Myanmar government publicly admitting to “misplacing” huge numbers of people who fall into the religious minority, suspicions that the Myanmar government is assisting in this religious genocide have justifiably arisen. Globally known extreme religious group Isis is renowned for their religious intolerance.
