MP: What is one aspect of global health that has affected you or your community? PAG: Growing up in Senegal in a malaria endemic region, I saw so many preventable deaths from malaria. I lost friends and relatives. I had malaria often, though I thought it was nothing at the time. Later, I realized how devastating malaria is, not only to health and wellness, but also to social and economic development.
Our tremendous progress—especially through investments in interventions such as mosquito nets treated with insecticide and effective medications delivered by frontline health workers—has allowed communities to thrive, and some countries to prosper. I agree with the Lancet report, Global Health , which describes how communicable diseases—such as HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria—will drop, even as noncommunicable diseases—such as cancer and heart disease—rise.
This is the result of increased income levels, changing lifestyles, and longer lives. It will change health care as we know it, especially for health workers.
