Hmm - dobro pitanje, razlog je verovatno u tome sto - iako je potencijalni lek jeftin ($1) - nije jednostavno taj lek administriati na pravom mestu i u pravo vreme. Koliko sam primetio, na mestima gde postoji neka osnovna infrastruktura smrtnost jeste znacajno smanjena (preko 70%), bas zato sto postoji mogucnost da se pomogne, i dopre do dece.
Problem ostaje Afrika, sa ogromnom povrsinom gde je jako tesko sprovesti sve sto treba a i stanovnistvo je daleko od edukovanog. UN nije bas efikasan sto se tice takvih stvari, i dosta problema nastaje zbog prevelike administracije (vecina novca za pomoc ode zapravo na birokratiju), a i u cinjenici da ima dosta zemalja koje su zauzete nekim drugim stvarima (ratovima, na zalost) - pa je napraviti neku mrezu za pomoc skoro pa nemoguce.
Citat:
Saving 2 million lives a year, you might think, is a cause with which politicians and movie stars would fall over themselves to be associated. But tackling diarrhea has never had the high profile of other public-health crises. There's much to do; though experts know what interventions can reduce needless deaths, getting them in place is not always easy. There are thousands of villages in places such as Bangladesh's muddy delta and the dry northern expanses of Ethiopia that still lack the infrastructure, education and methods of treatment that would protect their children's lives. To be sure, there is some good news; a recent report by unicef found that global access to safe drinking water rose from 1990 to 2004. But 1.1 billion people still don't have clean water; 2.6 billion lack a basic toilet. "That's an infrastructure problem and a development problem that we have not been able to deal with," says Greenough of Johns Hopkins. If the world wants to avoid the needless deaths of yet more children, it's time that we did.
Izgradnja te infrastrukture nije uopste naivna stvar, i ne radi se samo o novcu vec o mnogim drugim preprekama koje je potrebno prevazici da bi se to postiglo.
Najbolja pomoc koja bi tim zemljama mogla da se ukaze je da im se pomogne da ekonomski stanu na noge - medjutim, pogotovu u Africi, cisto sumnjam da je to tako jednostavno kao sto nekima moze da izgleda.
