Good day Hivian, hope your day has been good? Welcome to another #hivelearners featured contest for week 23 edition 2.
If I have the opportunity to create cure for only one disease, what will it be?
Seeing people suffering with one disease or the other saddens me a lot, I wish I have cures to all diseases because battling with illness is not a nice experience. Been sick distaste me and I don't like seeing someone suffer from any disease whatsoever.
Therefore, if I am opportune to create cure for only one disease then it would be Pneumonia. Why did I choose Pneumonia? The reason is that, I've been on a medical outreach to a rural area where Pneumonia was on rampage years back, it saddens my heart seeing scores of under 5 years children been affected, although quite a large number survived while few didn't. But seeing infants in agony makes me shed tears.
Pneumonia is one of the childhood disease, it is a chronic inflammation of the lungs caused by viruses or other micro organisms. It is the leading infectious cause of death among children under 5 years that kills thousands of children every year. In some parts of the world, a child dies every minute due to Pneumonia.
Although, it is preventable and can easily be managed with antibiotic. But due to malnutrition, inadequate access to health care facilities, lack of safe water and sanitation, pollution and the likes, pneumonia still kills infants of the poorest population around the world.
The disease has claimed and still claiming lives of under 5 children, so finding a permanent cure to it would be a happy thing for me.
So, if I have the opportunity to cure one disease, then it will be pneumonia.
I wish all infant either from the developing or underdeveloped or developed nations survive and live healthy, free of any form of disease whatsoever. I will be delighted finding solution to one of childhood disease.
Thanks for stopping by!
