Malaria
Conquering Malaria In Africa
Joshua Allen Deaton
Michigan State University

Conquering Malaria In Africa Malaria is the most problematic, and therefore the most important of the parasitic diseases of humans. Analysis of the effects of the acute infectious disease known as Malaria demonstrates the importance of conquering/eliminating the spreading Malaria epidemic. It is believed that the successful elimination of the malaria epidemic will be possible through numerous effective intervention stratagies, and new research and development breakthroughs. Further, decreasing the popular negative perspective of Africa that currently is still a significant cause of the discriminative exclusion and detrimental economic challenges that Africa is still currently dealing with.

    The Pharmaceutical drug companies have a tendency to focus more on the sales and revenue than the research of any given product. This trend leads to misrepresentation of crucial scientific research on products. “A wide variety of research practices has been described as being used to distort the medical literature in favor of a clinical trial sponsor’s pharmaceutical intervention,” (Ross, Gross, & Krumholz, 2012, para. ).But also, not only do the drug companies practice unethical research studies, they spend money pushing products and incentives to physicians for writing the prescriptions for those drugs. That monetary value of those incentives is, often, more than the research on the drug itself. Two companies have been accused, tried, and charged for smudging results and falsifying findings for their benefit. It appears that pharmaceutical companies have interchanged the quest of treating and healing sickness and disease with the sole purpose of making money.…

    How Does Malaria Affect Tanzania

    Malaria in Tanzania effects it’s country economically, socially and environmentally, but by taking the right steps, Malaria can be cured. Malaria is a widespread disease in Africa that is transmitted by the bite of a female mosquito. Malaria impacts a human physically, mentally and emotionally. Symptoms include a headache, fever, fatigue, dry cough, spleen enlargement and continuous vomiting. In Tanzania, approximately 93.7 out of 1000 people die of Malaria each year. NCBI.com states “There are 14-18 million cases of Malaria each year in Tanzania.”3 90% of the population is at risk. Therefore only 10% of the population is safe, but since the cases reported each year are increasing, that 10% will become a part of that 90% meaning the entire population of Tanzania can be affected by Malaria. This disease results in missed school and work days, and an overall loss of productivity. More importantly, the disease causes a negative economic impact, costing Tanzania 240$ million dollars per year.…

    Big Pharma

    The media constantly bombards viewers with the so-called “war on drugs”; indeed the issue that many nations face is one of concern. Due to competition among drug cartels, innocent people suffer injuriously; therefore, these nations wage a theoretical war against the spread and corruption of drugs. However, aside from there being a “war on drugs”, it seems that in today’s modern quest for perfect health, or at least prolonged health, the drug industries in the United States (also addressed as Big Pharma) compete to find and sell the next big drug. These drug industries do not wage war against drugs, instead a “war for drugs”.…

    Persuasive Essay Over Prescription Cost

    A problem that affects more than 70% percent of Americans and costs those same Americans over $250 billion annually (Sparks 1). This controversial problem can only be described as the cost of prescription medication. Currently, Americans pay on average $858 annually for prescription medication which is more than 17% percent of total healthcare expenses (Thompson 1). That figure is more than double the average prescription cost across 19 other industrialized countries (Thompson 1). These alarming numbers will also not stop growing, “four of the top ten prescription drugs in the United States have increased in price be more than 100 percent since 2011” (“THE FACTS ABOUT RISING PRESCRIPTION” 2 ). An antimalarial drug was just increased by more than 5,000% from about $13 to $750 (Thompson 2). These rising prices caused more than 35 million Americans to not fill their prescriptions last year (Sanders 1).…
