![]() ![]() More than half of the global population lives from less than $2 a day. Each year the developing world carries the burden of more than 90 % of all sickness that exist while they spend only 11 % of the global spending on health. The number of virus infections like AIDS rapidly increase across the developing countries. Vaccination for infectious diseases that spread from person-to-person like tuberculosis are not available to all people in the developing world. In 2004 this resulted in over 8 million new cases and over 1 million deaths. This is also due to the fact that a rising number of people in the developed world are contracting tuberculosis because their immune systems are compromised by immuno-suppressive drugs and substance abuse. Even worse many medical treatments of infected patients are not continuous due to the lack of right organization and the lack of funds. This often results in medical resistant bacteria and viruses that are almost impossible to cure. The World Health Organization declared a global plan to stop tuberculosis aiming to save 14 million lives between 2006 and 2011. Yet these are the first steps being taken. More far reaching programs have to be developed to reduce diseases efficiently.Recent studies show that it is essential to first win the fight against poverty before comprehensive healthcare gains a successful foothold in the emerging countries. In some areas of the impoverished world radical religous leaders and terror networks have taken over national tasks like healthcare, food, housing and education, because there is no one else in these areas that takes care of the poor. Their motives are not due to humanitarian causes. Their main objective is to propagate their radical and intolerant visions, and to recruit members for their criminal and terroristic networks and activities. The local governments of these countries are overwhelmed with the whole situation, because they are too busy fighting corruption and are mostly dealing with civil unrest or even civil war -like conditions. There are more than two billion dissapointed adolescents in the developing world that have to be taken care of and being convinced to follow a global path of peace, security and prosperity. Today we have more than 4 billion people living below poverty line. Imagine this as a huge market and reservoir for potential terrorists that will burn down our cities with envy and hatred. We prefer thinking of them as part of our global community and as a huge marketplace to sell our products. The next decades will bring new kinds of super viruses that will mutate at a faster rate than the vaccination will be developed. It will be important to prevent an epidemic that could spread through human populations across large regions or even continents. New warning networks have to be established to contain a pandemic or even to detect it on a earlier level. Healthcare for all global citizens is the ultimate goal. It can only be achieved by the establishment of a globally acting branch of government that could be called The Global Healthcare Center for Human Potentiation ( GHCHP ). The GHCHP will have all the law enforcement and global funding necessary to implement new global healthcare strategies to guarantee affordable medical care for every global citizen. Health will be defined as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. It will include mental health, housing, nutrition, economic and working conditions, administrative and social techniques affecting global public health. Let's take a look into the future of a global health system with global governance. Hospitals will become a center for healthcare and longevity. Healthcare will merge with biotechnology, nanotechnology and pharmaceutics into a global industry that will increase the life expectancy of the average global citizen to 100 years within the next 25 years. Until now diseases could be only diagnosed when they were noticed in the human organs and tissue. Medicine will be in the position to diagnose the cause of a disease on a atomic and DNA level. Thanks to the progress in genetics a simple bloodtest can give a patient a list of potential diseases and their probability to occur. Accountability will be introduced and be part of every health insurance. Insurances will be centralized and bureaucracy will be economized. A whole information network will be implemented that gives any doctor, medical staff and researcher the ability to share medical knowledge in real time. A online database will provide up to date medical information to anyone that works in the healthcare industry. Every patient around the globe will be equiped with a RFID ( Radio Frequency Identification ) based device. This way secure patient identification will reduce medical errors. Every year between 40,000 to over 90,000 patients die in the United States due to medical related errors at a cost of $29 billion. The leading cause of death due to medical errors is caused by patient or medication misidentification. Cognitive brain research will cure Alzheimer's disease. Moreover, it will be possible to increase the human memory. The police force could be equiped with a synthetic retina that enables night vision and increases visibility. A global medical law will be established and enforced that supports medical research and puts stem cell research and cloning under governmental control. This way ethic conduct will be considered. Global medicine will be able to predict and to prevent diseases. It will recreate memory, health and flexibility. It will regenerate and repair the bones, muscles, organs and cells. It will replace organs and bones with synthetic substitutes. It will expand life expectancy. It will increase the memory and the physical potential to high-performance. This can be only achieved by combining medical forces on a global level. The regulation of population growth will be another important task for the GHCHP. In some overpopulated areas strict birth control will become an important issue. Moreover, immigration in such areas needs to be decreased and emigration to be increased. In order to evaluate whether a certain area or region is overpopulated or not it is essential to consider the resources that include clean water, clean air, food, shelter and other resources necessary to sustain a certain level of life. If the general living conditions are addressed as well, there are then additional resources to be considered, such as medical care, employment, education, power supply, ecological sewage disposal, waste management and evironmentally friendly transportation. Negative impacts could be lack of food, pollution and long-term shortages of essential goods and services. However, technological innovations like nano-energy and nuclear fusion may help in areas where there is a lack of power supply. The development of genetically modified food may be necessary to overcome the shortage of food supply. Due to regional demographic transitions there will be great competition for young skilled labour. It is essential to implement a sense of global community into every young skilled global citizen to create a willingness for occupational mobility. The balance between population and resources has to be found to guarantee healthcare for everyone. This can only be achieved by a global regulating power that manages and controls the population and the environement with its ecosystem on a global level. We will all look into a bright future once a global healthcare system is being introduced. Affordable and up to date medical healthcare will be given to every global citizen. Nonetheless, the balance between Mother Nature and population growth has to be the yardstick for every decision we make in global health care. ![]() ![]() ![]()
