SHOULD GLOBAL HEALTH IMPROVEMENT BE EVERY COUNTRY'S PUBLIC HEALTH PRIORITY [+] serious ballot by Mithrandir ACTIVE Sun Jul 29, 07 - Mon Jul 28, 08 An unreleased report from the previous Surgeon General of the United States has as tts underlying message that disease and suffering do not respect political boundaries in an era of globalization and mass population movements. Specifically it reads " we cannot overstate . . . that problems in remote parts of the globe can no longer be ignored. Diseases that Americans once read about as affecting people in regions . . . most of us would never visit are now capable of reaching us directly. The hunger, disease, and death resulting from poor food and nutrition create social and political instability . . . and that instability may spread to other nations as people migrate to survive." As well it states ":the environmental conditions that poison our water and contaminate our air are not contained within national boundaries. . . . The use of pesticides is also of concern to health officials, scientists and government leaders around the world." The report was not released by the White House because it did not promote the current administration's programs and policies enough. That being said, do you think that global health improvement should be part of everycountry's public health and/or foreign policy? Yes, all countries should think globally in terms of public health No, individual countries should look after their own Other (please comment) Ballot #116528 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
