In praise of non-communicable diseases
The WHO has been holding yet another conference this week. Apparently there's an epidemic going on. No, not that outbreak of Ebola in Africa, but an epidemic of 'non-communicable diseases' (NCDs) and WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says he is going to put a stop to it.Director General of WHO @DrTedros on NCDs "No country is immune to NCDs...Let's bring our heads of states and governments to the next high-level meeting on NCDs, seek their political support and stop this epidemic" @Jeremy_Hunt #WHA71 #NCDs pic.twitter.com/CBt3Xgel2B— Sam Doherty (@samdoherty23) May 22, 2018
Tedros hasn't outlined what people will die of when non-communicable diseases are wiped out, but then it's never going to happen. The campaign against NCDs will be endless, thereby giving the 'public health' lobby endless opportunities to regulate people's lifestyles.
I have written about this for Spectator Health. Do have a read.
PS.
In the article, I show a few tweets from the conference in which western do-gooders fret about first world problems in third world countries. The tweet below was sent too late for me to include it, but it deserves a mention. Affluent people 'succumbing' to McDonalds in Africa. The horror!
Dietary issues in Africa, either one single starchy meal, or the more affluent who succumb to McDonalds. “These are the realities we must face” #NCDs “A healthy & well woman significantly impacts on her neonate, child, community & into future generations” Dr Anne Kihara #WHA71 pic.twitter.com/JbLQTeEIM5— FIGO (@FIGOHQ) May 25, 2018
