The Whole Systems View

It is absolutely imperative to approach healthcare development from the Whole Systems perspective: it is impossible to achieve sustainable development without this. Health systems do not exist in isolation. All other systems must work harmoniously, in synergy to ultimately improve our existence. We all want the better, brighter life. We cringe from human misery.
And we deserve to live well-in the best of health, in abundance, in a sustainable environment.
A lot of effort, no doubt, is needed to create an equitable society. But it is doable!
This picture of a malnourished child on her mother's lap was taken at the Yiriba Feeding Center in Awasa, 300km south of Addis Ababa,Ethiopia. This Center's initiative may not be considered an epic in the quest to undo humanity's misery but it is a step in the right direction. We stand guilty of negligence if we stand aloof, fold our arms and do nothing.
