how to market the most and least affiordable health services in the world

if you want to make health service as expensive as ;possible you do want americans do- you get every expert to lobby for more and mote cost - from lawyers to professional qualifications to big pharma to insurance agencies whose bureaucracy spreads like weeds- you end up with the most expensive health care in the world and one where life expectancy has stared to go go down because more and more people cant afford it alternatively you can maximise a community's self sufficiency - segmenting service where expertise is really needed (eg 98% of hospice care doesnt need over-qualified professionals)

banagldesh vulagers built the most extraoirdinary health service i have ever come across - they lived in vilages without electricity- the few qualified doctors that bangladesh had as a new nation in the 1970s didnt want to go and live in villages- so at $100 bRAC worked out how to train vilagers to seve the most common linfant ife threatening illnesses such as dehydration and lank of njutrituin and the moist common maternal chalenges; of course this helath service didnt ofer major surger but then with no electricity in the vilages that wants possible anyhow; by focising on the basics - vilage life epectancy was raised from hiugh 30s to mid 60s; with most infants surviving vilage mothers werent required by the culture to give birth to so many children; over time other specific services were matched by disesease- for example infectious diseases like tiberciulosis are most safely and so economically sevred by people who have had teh disaease and survived- moreover basic health can be taught at schopls or throuogh peer to per adoielscent clubs and tiday online apps bring more and more local sufficiency

you cant ,legislate for more economic health service- you can market match it f you are prepared to clarify how to segment service solutoions

Digitize Belt Road

Huge news - DIGITAL COOPERATION Antonio Guterres has organised an all star panel led by Jack Ma and Melinda Gates to report back on how digital cooperation changes the world -its economies, socoeties, and SDGs - at warp speed.

- its 9 month reporting cycle should make this one of the hottest reports for 100 national leaders to share at Xi Jinping's Belt Road 2  --- May 2019 Beijing

Belts to watch closely:

The Arctic Circle Belt - in spite of america's fake news, the reality is USA and Russia must talk about the Arctic Belt now and  China can help mediate. America's media is just about the worst curse under 30s have to live with. We all need to help Russia envision a world in which Russian people have as much opportunity to sustain the future as everyone else. Anyne who has studied climate more than 60 seconds knows:
1 Arctic Circle is Critical
 Russia as world's biggest country needs new trading relationships if t is ever to join in green energising the world

Now that India has joined the SCO the opportunity is on for landlocked eurasia's countries may be freed by corridors to the the belt that connects gulf, suez and med (ie the opposite route to the as yet unpopular icebreaker route). Now that bangaldesh is partnering Jack ma in the finetch race to bank the 2 billion poorest of Chia's neighbors, it is time the world invested in belt roads linking in Bangladesh (the nation through no fault of kts own that was dealt misery making borders by the wat the Brits did Indepedence of the Indian subcontinent

COULD THE FAR EAST BELT BRING PEACE DIVIDENDS?
Celebrating a ;peaceful return by N Koreans to the world depends on ending 3 local rivalaries between japan chine and korea. Of course both Russia and USA have historic stakes in Korea but over 70 years after world war 2 - isnt it time China and S Korea made peace with Japan...

SHAMING THE EU
You only have tp look at all nations that face the med sea belt to see how much the EU has dismally spiralled (driven by mlortherned like germany with no share in the med sea). As Romano Prodi briefed Chinese students in 2017, until the EU stops externalisng onto its mebers tha share th Med Sea, Africa will always get left out of win-win trading roites the ssutainability genertion needs to colaboratively map.

Whilre Amerca has taken itself out of win-win trade mapping even with its only 2 direct neigbors _Canada and Mexico - Latin America is msart if it actively ;particilates in Belt Ropad 2 May 2019 as uses Argentina G20 in Novemenr as  stepping stone

Anyone who thinks that the SDGs have a bats chnace in hell with

why isnt adolescent health a literacy in all schools curricula

george patton in australia and the UK's Lancet suggest this is one of the top 10 missing curricula- its best designed in as peer to peer (if necessary before children leave school)- its a natural pathway to celebrating girls adolescent clubs- the number 1 education solution of brac's international partnership networking- the largest ngo movement in the world

back in the 1970s' brac first scaled nationwide with loral rehydcration being a learning modukle all vilage mothers needed; over the nextr decade kit trained more than a dhundred thousand vilage wlomen at under $100 ;person to sustain their lown volage busienss advising on basic maternal and infant health services including wellbeing and nutrition- these ladies knowhow then becamse available as brac developed the largest non governmenty schooling system

we estimate in rural places without enough medical advice -at least one young lady per 500 people could earn a living as a last mile health servant and educator if only brac's knowhow is replicated

thats probably at least 4 millioon jobs- bjut its also just the foundations of a lot mlore
- brac and other bootom-up health service educators have progessively linked more and mkore services - ed combating tubercosis and preventin viruses like ebola

they keep youth health -young incidence of aids is miniised wherever brac curricla are understood- moreover the solution to hiv infected mothers not passing on hiv to baibies needs to be known locally

young vilage gorls can be trained to do hspice work in cities - and wherever mediucal apps are passing on the testing to local health servants the opportunity to organisaclloy grow community health services gives youth hope
ultimately whether a communities most vilat local solutions are about health or other sdgs - the frabciscan model of professionals who go live and elarn with the poor is integral to how brac chnaged aid - from charity to sustainable microbusienss - from giving to knowing exactly who and what yout gift is chnaging - somethin g that big data small analysis makes ever mlore possible if we design tech to achieve humanity's gfreatest gials



reasons why we ask
in 2016 (the latest year for which data is available), 36.7M people were living with HIV globally, and there were more than 1.8M new infections in that year alone. The disproportionately high rate of new infections among adolescent women and girls in Southern and Eastern Africa is concerning—women ages 15-24 make up 26 percent of all new infections in this region yet are only 10 percent of the population. More than 200 babies a day are still infected with HIV by their mothers during pregnancy and breastfeeding, despite the fact that this is almost entirely preventable.
