The world is facing many challenges, and some of them receive a lot of attention and funding from states and private philanthropies. Climate change, war, and immigration are constantly in the news and are considered major global priorities. However, other significant issues such as tuberculosis and nutrition do not receive as much focus and awareness, despite also being important global concerns.
Even diseases like rabies, river blindness, and leprosy, which are categorized as “neglected tropical diseases” and lead to the deaths of 200,000 people each year in poorer countries, have programs dedicated to them within the World Health Organization. However, there is a challenge that receives little to no attention despite affecting more than 1 billion people worldwide and having the potential to be efficiently addressed. This challenge could be aptly named the “neglected enormous disease” due to its widespread impact on a significant portion of the global population.
Despite being a significant issue that affects millions of people worldwide, this neglected enormous disease receives very little attention from governments and private philanthropies. It has the potential to be easily addressed with proper funding and resources but remains largely overlooked. Addressing this neglected enormous disease should be a priority for both governments and private philanthropies if we want to improve the lives of millions of people around the world.
The neglected enormous disease has been affecting millions of people worldwide for years without any proper treatment or management plan in place. It is time for governments and private philanthropies to take notice and provide adequate resources towards finding a cure or effective treatment for this disease.
In conclusion, while climate change, war, immigration are essential issues that require attention from governments
