A recent report furnished by the health committee is concerned about the United States lack of focus on noncommunicable diseases such as heart disease. The American College of Cardiology reported that there must be a reprioritization of health resources that go toward pressing specific health issues. While there has been an increase in resources allocated to the dismantling of infectious diseases, more needs to be done in reference to some of the health concerns that can't necessarily be caught or transmuted.
The right global health strategies have the ability to save lives and increase the quality of life for those who are suffering from compromised health. The Committee on Global Health thinks a more efficient strategy to really address some of the health concerns in this country that aren't linked to infections is necessary in order for the United States to maintain its status as a global health leader.
These NASEM recommendations and this manuscript are among the most important efforts of my career, because if they are adopted by the U.S. government, they have the potential to enact true change for global health, says author and Ph.D., Valentin Fuster. The next step for the committee is to present these recommendations to the U.S. Senate,
Implementing Better Strategies
Fuster believes in order for these mandates to work more securely and improve the overall health trajectory of this country, a few things need to be properly dealt with. Firstly, there needs to be a type of innovation that helps to galvanize development around medical products and increase the infrastructure of healthcare. Next, the employment of flexible and easily shifted financial mechanisms for additional funders and partners to help increase resources. Lastly, help to influence other nations regarding the importance of global health via evidence-based science and economic benefit which will potentially have a ripple effect.
Better strategies must be implemented specifically around cardiovascular disease and finding a way to manage and offer roadmaps in order to improve the quality of life for sufferers, offer early detection, and proper information regarding how to prevent the occurrence of the disease. There needs to be more truth-telling in regards to diet, portion size and the improper ways that we use foods in our society.
There is much to be said about how the ways in which our collective health is compromised can be better dealt with from various angles. There also needs to be more of a widespread initiative to talk about why many of the health concerns and conditions, such as heart disease and diabetes, are occurring in specific demographic locations. Those who have a lower economic standing who cannot have access to healthcare tend to live in areas that have limited resources and are surrounded by inexpensive food that has no nutritional value. These are often referred to as food deserts.
In order to have a full picture of those who are typically affected by the onslaught of these deadly conditions, we must also look at access and the fact that these diseases are developed based on the health choices that individuals make. Many individuals make their daily food choices based on their economic ability and their proximal access to healthy options. This is a nuanced and layered issue that must be looked at through various lenses.
