Reading 11/11

This article was really interesting to me as, although it looked through its lens, did not only talk about affects relevant to HIV AIDS. Instead it talked about how all healthcares is created from building blocks and directly pointed out the issues from the fundamental areas that need improvement. That’s not to say that this article didn’t talk about HIV AIDS directly. It did, about how very technical advances are helping get us one step closer to eradication. But, unlike other medical journals which only discuss the very specific areas of technological advances that help certain illness’ causes, this article discussed the lack of long standing infrastructure necessary to really eradicate HIV AIDS. In many ways, this article highlighted the importance of basic healthcare infrastructure. It argues that without this, the very technical improvements mean nothing. They are worthless without the fundaments because, for example, the new technologies can’t be delivered without them, or properly executed in other ways. This addressed a very important issue in healthcare today, which I do not believe is discussed enough.
