  • The inequities are striking. In developed
    countries, a course of antibiotics to cure
    pneumonia can be bought for the equivalent of 2
    or 3 hours wages. One-years treatment for HIV
    infection consumes the equivalent of four to six
    months salary. And the majority of drug costs
    are reimbursed. In developing countries, a full
    course of antibiotics to cure a common pneumonia
    may cost one months wages. In many countries
    one-years HIV treatment - if it were purchased -
    would consume 30 years income. And the majority
    of households must buy their medicines with money
    from their own pockets.

    quarter of the total burden of disease worldwide
  • As many as 13 million deaths can be prevented
    every year by making our environments healthier
  • In children under the age of five, one third of
    all disease is caused by the environmental
    factors such as unsafe water and air pollution
  • Environmental factors influence 85 out of the 102
