Question

Prepare a speech to be delivered during the morning assembly, advising on ‘How to fight with Pandemic Situation in Future.​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the last three years, more than 11,000 of the nearly 29,000 people infected by Ebola have died, and thousands of infants have been born with birth defects and neurological problems as a result of the Zika virus. Scientists predict a possible outbreak of Ebola this year and economists believe that a major flu pandemic could cripple the economies of affected countries.The harsh reality is that we are not doing enough to prepare for future infectious outbreaks, despite knowing quite clearly what causes them. The main causes of poor health in Africa are poverty, its associated unhealthy living conditions, and a lack of access to primary healthcare.

According to a report by the UN International Labour Organization almost half of the world’s population does not have access to healthcare. This report shows that 56% of people living in rural areas worldwide cannot access healthcare. In Africa, the number of rural people without access to healthcare spikes to 83%.

In Sub-Saharan Africa, four in 10 people have no access to health facilities or healthcare workers, and for those that do have access,the quality of services is often low. If we want to successfully prevent or manage future outbreaks, we must invest in primary healthcare.

I firmly believe that investment must be concentrated in three key areas:

· The expansion of public-private partnerships (PPPs);

· The adoption of new technologies;

· The training of healthcare workers.

Are some precautions we take in, so I order to survive it we must be prepared and fight it.
