The technical capacity of health professionals “is more proven than the public officials, which suggests a greater share of the former and better training of the second” (Selby). The state of Texas has never had a crisis like this or others experiences that were similar.

I became very sure of my quest to become a public health professional during my National youth service Corps (NYSC) year in my home country Nigeria. I had the opportunity of working as a medical officer in the very remote village healthcare setting. During my service year with the NYSC, I discovered that minor ailments, usually from infections, and some with fatal consequences, could have been prevented and many lives saved if it were not for the fact that those effected believed that the illnesses were evil spiritual afflictions or resulted from a curse by God.

In addition, the controversies around genetically modified organisms is bringing even more concerns to the foreground as GMOs may possibly harm the health of both individuals and the planet. While the movement of people, food and manufactured goods can lead to the spread of disease, I do not think we should, or effectively could, take steps to decrease the flow of such traffic.
