Question 1: What actions are most important to improve global nutrition?
I think the best way is to improve global nutrition, is to encourage food sustainable systems in developing countries. Either by ensuring constant supply of food through improving agricultural industry in these countries or making sure there is good better negotiation for food imports into these countries. This will help with making food affordable for the people.

Question 2: In your opinion, what are today’s greatest obstacles to progress in global health
Poverty, and it will always be poverty. Because most of the problems that global health aims to address are problems that have already been solved in developed countries. Yes there mere be some other stuff that plays a role, but seriously all the problems are due the fact that, the nation and its cant afford basic healthcare

Great job in using your personal experience in explaining Question 1. I am even more intrigued when you proposed culturally sensitive ways to control TB spread in these communities. That is something we mostly overlook when talking about aiding others across the globe as the ways of living in these areas, regardless of the socio-economic background, is different from the western world.

Question #1: From your perspective, why are people living in poverty most likely to suffer from TB, and how should this fact influence efforts to control the disease?
There are a lot of reasons for this to happen, but a not so obvious one is that sometimes people living in these conditions can’t allow themselves to be fearful of these diseases. Reason being, if your only source of living is to venture into a TB infested area, you do it and HOPE nothing happens. Of course, how to solve the problem is a multilayered question, what I can say is, give people options and then they mostly will make better decisions for themselves and others around them.
Question #2: What, in your opinion, are two interventions that would be most effective against neglected tropical diseases?
Because the disease thrives in areas with low quality drinking water and insufficient health infrastructures. I will say improving these two are the best ways to solve the NTD problem. But I think the most important will be offering drinkable water to the people as it is the easiest to do, cheapest and the most effective and a preventative measure.

Very good assessment Ronisha, i agree with what you are saying about global food security. They all work that is why we have abundance of food in the world today than there has ever been. The reason some countries have shortage is to me three words: Greed and selfishness. Outsiders often find it hard to understand.

Question #1: What system-wide changes, in your opinion, would most successfully increase world-wide food security?

Probably will say finding ways to deal with conflicts. Because if conflicts contributes to more than 50% of the worlds food problems, then it’s a no brainer that finding solutions to that will do the most good.. Without any stability no one is going to farm to grow food for the populace so I think that is the most important thing.

Question 2: What do you believe are the most substantial barriers to global measles elimination, and how can these be overcome?
This only happens in countries with very low GDP is up to countries with higher GDP to aid these countries to afford the vaccinations and given in time in the various clinics they are distributed to.
