  12. World Health Report: 2006 The AmericasSub-Saharan Africa 14 % of the world’s population 11% of the world’s population 10% of the global burden of disease 25% of the global burden of disease 42% of the world’s health workers 3% of the world’s health workers >50% of global health expenditure < 1% of global health expenditure Source: 2006 World Health Report, World Health Organization.

  13. 2013 World Health Report

  14. 2013 WHR (Continued) • ⅓ of people given antiretroviral treatment (ART) • 5 million still in need of treatment

  15. Funding For Appeals • Flash and Consolidated Appeals - Natural Disasters and War Zones • At 60% of total required funding needed

  16. Research Coordination & Communication • Relationship between researchers/ health workers and policy makers - “Top Down v.s. Bottom Up Approach” • Research conducted far away from where it will be applied

Prevention is more effective than Treatment!

  20. Analyzing Funding For Appeals • Difficult to raise money for an issue that hasn’t occurred (Flash Appeal) • Generosity of donors/ Financial Status • Large budget Sending Donors (not including relief groups) to areas they will be funding ???

  21. Research Coordination & Communication • Studies conducted closer to affected area • “Bottom Up Approach”

  22. Conclusion Solutions 1)System Management 2) Education 3) Presenting Problems to Donors 4) “Bottom Up Approach” Main Problems 1) Lack of Healthcare in poor countries 2) More Focus on Prevention v.s. Treatment 3) Lack of Funding 4)Currently a “Top Down” Approach
