WHO releases top 10 global health threats
According to the World Health Organization, 90% of people worldwide breathe polluted air every day. Air pollution causes 7 million premature deaths annually due to diseases such as cancer, stroke, heart disease, and lung disease. 90% of premature deaths occur in low - to middle-income countries with high emissions of industrial, transportation, and agricultural pollutants.
WHO points out that chronic non communicable diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other diseases, are related to more than 70% of the world's deaths (41 million), including 15 million premature deaths among people aged 30-69.
The World Health Organization pointed out that the world is facing another influenza pandemic in 2019, but it is currently unknown when it will break out or how severe it will be.
More than 1.6 billion people (22% of the global population) live in places with prolonged crises and weak health services, making it difficult to access basic medical services.
The development of antibiotics, antiviral drugs, and antimalarial drugs is one of the great achievements of modern medicine. But now, the issue of drug resistance to microorganisms such as bacteria, parasites, viruses, and fungi has become prominent, which may make it difficult for us to easily cure infections such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, gonorrhea, and salmonellosis.
In addition, Ebola and other high-risk pathogens, weak primary health care, hesitation about vaccines, dengue fever and HIV are all threats to global health.
