In the Asia Pacific region they are
having more deaths caused by non -communicable diseases a year, than any other
death. A high level of deaths by
diseases is on the rise, and it is growing every year. In
2002 over 30 million people died from preventable diseases. NCD deaths are substantially low compared to
the number of deaths due to HIV/AIDS, but people are still trying to help out
with the prevention of AIDS as well as help with the NCD deaths. In 2004 about 60% of the deaths were
preventable NCD deaths, and 29.9% of the other deaths were due the communicable
disease. Since a lot of Asia Pacific is
developing countries it is hard for them to have a clean area in order to avoid
these diseases. These developing
countries have various levels of health systems, which is not healthy for those
who are sick. They do not have enough
protection in these countries in order to avoid future cases of NCD. The outreach for a basic health system in
these developing countries is still a challenge, which is what makes the death
rate increase due to NCD. These diseases
could affect the everyday life of people, and the diseases include:
tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and malaria. All
of these diseases though have been evidenced from Africa, so the government is
more awake on how to act towards them.
I believe
that the government needs to help make these countries a safer place because
all of these diseases are preventable, yet they make up almost 60% of the
deaths in Asia Pacific. The developing
countries do not have as safe as an environment as developed countries,
therefor it puts people at this bigger risk of getting non- communicable
diseases. The rate of these deaths will not
decrease until the government does something to take care of it. We need to help these third world countries
so that their death rate is not so high, and so that they can live in a safer environment.
