Curing Diseases
The millennium goal that I chose to write about is the section 6 one called Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria, and other diseases. This topic interested me more than the others because I was curious as to see how a few of the most deadly diseases are declining compared to about 15 years ago. The statistics were truly interesting and very helpful for the peers to understand. I want to be a statistician in the future and I would like to calculate these type of things for people to observe. It can help people understand this better.
When I first observed the stats I was surprised to see that most HIV infections are declining in most regions. In the bad news, it said that 1.6 million people died from AID related diseases and 210,000 children died in 2012 from AID related diseases, compared to 320,000 in 2005. It's good to see that the amount of people getting these diseases is declining. It just shows that people and scientists are figuring out medicine to help with these diseases. It's showing that many people are being saved and that many people are being treated. By looking as the stats, the amount of cases involving these diseases will decline as years go on, saving millions of lives. By finding the medicine to help cure these diseases, it could help cure other important diseases and save even more lives. I think by seeing these stats, they help show the true problem.
