In Nigeria, accedere all'assistenza sanitaria di base non dovrebbe essere un privilegio, ma per molti sembra un sogno impossibile. Abbiamo assistito a questa lotta in prima persona: le lunghe attese, la mancanza di risorse, le scelte disperate che le persone sono costrette a fare. Il costo della disuguaglianza sanitaria non \u00e8 solo finanziario: si paga in vite perse troppo presto, in famiglie distrutte da malattie prevenibili. Questa realt\u00e0 ha innescato qualcosa di profondo in noi, la determinazione a creare un cambiamento.<\/p>

Abbiamo fondato Equitable Medicaid and Clinical Research Ltd\/Gte perch\u00e9 non potevamo restare inerti mentre tante persone nelle nostre comunit\u00e0 soffrivano. Sapevamo che se non avessimo agito, il ciclo di abbandono sarebbe continuato. Malattie che potevano essere curate venivano lasciate a marcire perch\u00e9 la ricerca clinica avanzata e le sperimentazioni erano quasi inesistenti nel nostro Paese. Abbiamo assistito a persone - persone vere, con speranze, sogni e persone care - che sono diventate statistiche, con le loro vite stroncate dall'impossibilit\u00e0 di accedere alle cure di cui avevano bisogno.<\/p>

Nelle aree rurali e nelle baraccopoli urbane, dove la vita quotidiana \u00e8 gi\u00e0 una lotta, le crisi sanitarie colpiscono pi\u00f9 duramente. Le malattie prevenibili mietono silenziosamente vittime e la medicina tradizionale, che ha un grande valore nella nostra cultura, a volte fa pi\u00f9 male che bene senza un'adeguata verifica clinica. Consideriamo questo abuso non come un fallimento della tradizione, ma come un fallimento del sistema a sostegno di pratiche sicure ed efficaci.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Per le donne e le giovani ragazze, la posta in gioco \u00e8 ancora pi\u00f9 alta. La mortalit\u00e0 materna \u00e8 una tragica realt\u00e0, aggravata dalla mancanza di educazione e di risorse per la salute sessuale e riproduttiva. I matrimoni precoci, le gravidanze indesiderate e la diffusione delle malattie non sono solo problemi: sono crisi che le nostre madri, sorelle e figlie affrontano ogni giorno. L'obsoleta dipendenza del sistema dai registri cartacei rende solo pi\u00f9 difficile fornire le cure che potrebbero salvare delle vite.<\/p>

Anche gli anziani sono spesso dimenticati, lasciati ad affrontare i loro ultimi anni con poco o nessun sostegno. La salute mentale \u00e8 ignorata e le persone che soffrono vengono messe da parte, il loro dolore viene liquidato come superstizione. Li vediamo vagare per le strade, persi nelle loro battaglie, e sappiamo che questo stigma deve finire.<\/p>

\u00c8 per questo che abbiamo dato vita a Equitable Medicaid and Clinical Research. Non siamo un'organizzazione qualsiasi; siamo persone che credono che ogni vita, per quanto piccola o emarginata, sia importante. Ci concentriamo sulle persone che sono state lasciate indietro, portando l'assistenza sanitaria a chi ne ha pi\u00f9 bisogno. Il nostro lavoro \u00e8 guidato da una semplice verit\u00e0: ogni vita \u00e8 importante.<\/p>

Questo per noi non \u00e8 solo un motto, ma una promessa. Siamo qui per fare la differenza, per cambiare la storia di coloro che sono stati dimenticati. E non ci fermeremo finch\u00e9 ogni persona, in ogni comunit\u00e0, non avr\u00e0 la possibilit\u00e0 di vivere una vita sana e dignitosa.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
