    The document discusses the North-South divide, which categorizes countries along socio-economic and political lines. The North includes developed economies like the G8 nations, while the South encompasses Africa, Latin America, and most of Asia. There are disparities between the two groups in terms of wealth, access to resources, and development. The global village remains polarized by the poverty and underdevelopment afflicting over 80% of the world's population in the Global South. Health policies must address inequalities between rich and poor nations.

    WORLD
    OBIJIOFOR AGINAM
    Global Health Leadership Officer, World Health
    Organization, Geneva, Switzerland.

    Our global village has been


    truncated and polarized by the
    underdevelopment and poverty
    afflicting more than eighty percent of
    the world's population in the global
    South-mainly in Africa, Asia, Latin
    America, and the Caribbean. Thus,
    global health policies must, by
    necessity, focus on health disparities
    between poor and rich countries.
    On wealth and poverty
    globalizes poverty systematically as
    opposed to globalizing wealth
    globalization of wealth, via the right
    to health and development assistance
    from international financial
    institutions, must respond to the
    socioeconomic and political
    conditions of recipient States in the
    developing world.
     economic reconstruction from the bottom-up
    Poverty as a frame of mind

    Poverty is not an only an


    economic problem.
    Being poor is a condition
    not an option

    Einstein – you cannot


    solved the problem with
    the same frame of mind
    that created it.
    ON HEALTH ISSUES

     ANTI-BIOTICS VS. PRO-


    BIOTICS

     SYNTHETIC MEDICINES
    VS. HERBAL MEDICINES

     WESTERN MEDICINE VS.


    ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE

     HEALTH VS. WORK


    MIND SET
     PREJUDICE

     DISCRIMINATION

     TRUTH VS.
    PERSPECTIVE

     POINT OF VIEW
    HOLON MIND
     GESTALT

     COLLECTIVE CONSCIOUSNESS

     ARGUMENT VS. DISCUSSION

     REASON FOR
    ENLIGHTENMENT AND NOT TO
    INSULT
    QUOTES
    “IN THE LIGHT OF FAITH,
    YOU SEE THINGS QUITE
    DIFFERENTLY” (letter 118 of La
    Salle to laywoman, date unknown)

    person you are with.” (Part 1,
    Chapter 2 in The Rules of Christian
    Decorum and Civility)
