Anand Sundaram Professor George Bishop USE2307: HIV/AIDS – From Microbes to Nations 6th February, 2015 Book Review: The Invisible Cure by Helen Epstein Helen Epstein’s book “The Invisible Cure: Africa, The West and the Fight Against AIDS” is a powerful account of the AIDS epidemic that has hit hardest in Africa. Epstein is a scientist-turned-writer who merges 15 years of personal observations with scientific reasoning to explain the spread of HIV/AIDS in the continent. She explains why the battle against the disease has been so challenging in Africa in spite of the investment of large amounts of effort and money. Giving the example of Uganda, Epstein argues that the solution may not align with what the proverbial Western World envisions, and that it must come from the Africans themselves.

The public health model is more difficult to define than the other two models due to not everyone understands the concept of public health.

The association of poverty with Africa goes together like apple pie and America. From the advertisements of malnourished, African children to our education, or rather lack of education, about African countries in the American school system, the concept of Africa as an impoverished continent has been engrained into our minds. This rhetoric of Africa has lasted over decades, with a substantial amount of aid being given to African countries to rectify this problem. And yet, sixteen of the world’s poorest countries were identified as being in sub-Saharan Africa as of 2013. This insinuates that foreign countries and organizations that provide aid, need to reevaluate why aid isn’t making a bigger impact at fixing the problem.

One more point got my attention that is gender roles it is an issue and it is obvious in The Gambian culture. When opinions were asked about health center only the men were talking and given opinion, but there were no women to talk or to have opinion and also health committee are built on men there was no women in the committee. In some societies women are always ignored and their opinion or even being is not valuable. As a result, women don’t have self-confidence to give their opinion in front of other people or men is some cultures like The Gambian culture. I believe women contribution is very important for the sake of their families and the community because as I understand from the article women use the center most with their children

This paper is about the concepts of wellness and sustainable health care, how I, as an RMT can play a role with that process. The first place to start as an RMT is asking yourself, what is good health and how can I help have a positive effect on it? The World Health Organization says: “A state of optimum physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity.” A healthier population can make more productive and positive contributions to overall societal development. A healthy population would require less support in the form of social benefits and health care, and would be better at supporting and sustain itself over a longer period of time.

Social model often ensures physical and mental health and broader sphere of participating in active life. The model permits most understated discrimination of people that succeed to lead productive lives irrespective of physical damage. The disadvantage of social model is the approach that runs the threat of excessive breadth and to incorporate all life. Therefore, they do not differentiate among the state to become healthy the concerns of being healthy neither do they differentiate among “health” and “health determinants”.

I agree with the assertion that in the context of Sustainable Development ‘the reality of life today is that the economy dominates environment and society. The Concept of Sustainable Development Sustainable development refers to “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs”, and was produced by the Brundtland report (WCED, 1987). The concept also takes into account the needs of the poor in developing countries by outlining achievable objectives of importance (WCED, 1987).
