Needless to say, Mother Teresa is one of the most famous people on this planet. No doubt she has the gain that respects through generous, human deeds, which still make us think our lives over and over again. Mother Teresa embodies pure perfection in terms of charity and compassion.
A wonderful film “Mother Teresa” (2003) has been shot to reveal the unbelievably strong nature and a firm character of the woman giving her love and care to almost hopeless people and souls.
The movie is devoted to her immense donation to the universal HIV/AIDS struggle in India, but along with the help to HIV infected people, she made the greatest ever contribution to the matters of peace on our planet by helping to struggle hunger, tuberculosis, and leprosy – the most terrific deceases ever. Even though she had operated 610 missions in 123 countries, comprising hospices and homes for people with HIV/AIDS, leprosy, and tuberculosis, soup kitchens, children’s and family counseling programs, orphanages, and schools, her mission in India became the most sacrificing ever. A stranger in the other religion, in the heart of the ethnic conflict, she was praised by the Nobel Prize for peace.
As for the global health issues represented in the movie, it is necessary to mention, that these matters are common for the whole undeveloped world. These are HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and leprosy. Up to the 1990s, India did not have any official statistics of HIV/AIDS infected people, but this in no way means that they did not exist. This issue is still one of the most burnings in the Indian Territory.
At the beginning of 1986, despite over 20,000 reported AIDS cases worldwide, India had no reported cases of HIV or AIDS. There was an acknowledgment, though, that this would not be the case for long, and worries were raised about how India would cope once HIV and AIDS cases were initiated to come forward. One report, issued in a medical journal in January 1986, stated:
“Unlike industrial states, India lacks the technical laboratories, investigation capabilities, utensils, and medical workers to deal with an AIDS. Additionally, issues such as artistic inviolable against conversation of sexual practices, deprived harmonization among local health powers and their populations, prevalent deficiency and undernourishment, and a lack of ability to test and store blood would harshly hinder the ability of the Government to control AIDS if the sickness did become extensive.”
Later in the year, India’s first cases of HIV were identified among sex workers in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. It was started that contact with foreign sightseers had played a role in original diseases among sex workers, and as HIV monitoring centers were set up across the country there were calls for visitors to be screened for HIV. Gradually, these calls subsided as more attention was paid to ensuring that HIV screening was carried out in blood banks.
Hunger
Constant hunger and undernourishment is the worst misfortune of the shortage that still pestilences millions of families in India and the dilemma of children is of particular anxiety. Undernourishment in babyhood is one of the motives behind the high child humanity rate and is also highly harmful to the future for those who endure. Chronic undernourishment in childhood is linked to slower cognitive expansion and serious health mutilations later in life that reduces the quality of life and also the financial efficiency of the populace. Undernourishment is hence not only an outcome of scarcity but also grounds.
The degree of undernutrition in India is extensive but the exact magnitude both in absolute terms and in international comparison varies considerably depending on which indicator is consulted. The first aim of this article is to contrast the nutritional situation in India to other parts of the world, based on two main methods for characterizing undernutrition. A further objective is to investigate to what extent undernutrition in India has declined over time and how the inter-state differences have evolved. A third objective is to challenge the “conventional wisdom” that female children are more frequently undernourished than male children.
Leprosy
There are about 40 thousand leprosy patients in India. The curse and anguish of the ailment are very Well Known and it is for these causes that the Mass Scale Treatment and Rehabilitation. To tackle the problem of leprosy, the Delhi Pradesh Branch of Hind Kusht Nivaran was instituted in the Year 1961, this was the first leprosy NGO in India which proposed free leprosy conduct in Delhi, India, Its is a unique leprosy treatment clinic NGO, as a registered body under the Societies Act of 1860.
Agenda of Leprosy Influenced individuals was opened with the organization of Hind Kusht Nivaran Sangh, on all Indian levels in the Year 1949. It acts as a helpful overpass flanked by the Government and non-governmental institutions engaged in leprosy removal, to strengthen teamwork and harmonization for an ordinary goal i.e. avoidance and action of Leprosy and treatment of the treated person.
Conclusion
The essential health matters in developing, and undeveloped countries still stay the most burning among all the other public health issues all over the world. It is necessary to mention, that Mother Teresa devoted almost all her life to saving and curing those who lost hope. Being content with very little she was ruled by the endless trust in God, and his love.
