We Have To Provide Healthcare To The Entire World

Our internal qualities have to change from selfishness to bestowal and we have to seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

The entire world is one family and we have to start treating each other as one family. As such, we have to start solving our critical problems by working together, collaborating and cooperating with each other.

In the spirit of mutual concern and responsibility and in the quality of bestowal/love of others/altruism, we have to provide the highest quality healthcare and health care to the entire world.

According to a 2011 report from the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately one-third of the world's population, around two billion people (2 Billion or 2,000,000,000) do not have access to essential medicines [1].

As such, people die of curable diseases because they don't have access to medicine or they can't afford it. We have to stop seeking profits over peoples' health, welfare and well-being.

Round tables need to be established to address this issue. We have to deal with this problem immediately and we have to solve it permanently.

Participants of the round tables could include representatives from all over the world, experts, professionals and/or leaders from: governments, not-for-profit organizations, the medical industry, the healthcare and health care industries, logistics, technology and other relevant fields.

Once the round tables have been established, all the problem-solving discussions and deliberations should be transparent and broadcast live on television and/or the internet, giving everyone around the world a chance to comment and/or vote on relevant issues. Once the course of action has been decided, the solution can be implemented.

May The One True God, The Infinite God, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob guide us, may He lead us and may He show us the way. God is with us and to Him we shall all return.
