Question

Consider international health policy concerns and initiatives aimed to addressing them. For the purpose of your discussion post this week, select a global health policy issue that you are particularly interested in. Briefly describe the issue you selected and respond to the following questions: What is the role of the international community in combating this global issue? What are some of the key strategies? What are some of the key barriers to eradicating these issues? What are some of your recommendations to address these issues? What role should nursing/health care administrators play within the context of global health policy?

Explanation / Answer

The global issue that I am considering is CANCER.

Cancer and other noncommunicable diseases are not getting attention and resources that should be there on this issue because other diseases like Ebola are likely to get them addressing. But this disease will continue to be a growing challenge, including frontline health workers around the world.

International comunities like WHO announced Feb 4th as the WORLD CANCER DAY to spread awareness in the world especially developing countries about this deadly disease. World Cancer Day is the ideal opportunity to spread the word and raise the profile of cancer in people’s minds and in the world’s media

One of the major barrier to eradicate this disease is awareness in people about this disease, its symptoms and cure. Breast cancer which is one of the most easily treated cancer if detected early is claiming approx 0.2 mil of women lives in world every year.

My recommendation is to spread awareness among people starting from schools, government should take innitiatives and should setup awareness camps and check up camps to spread awareness and hospitals should offer treatment at low cost.
