1985-yilda AQShda faol sil kasalligi holatlari soni 1950-yillardan beri uzluksiz kamayib kelgandan so'ng yana ko'paya boshladi. Sil kasalligining qaytishiga bir nechta omillar sabab bo'ldi, jumladan OIV/OITS epidemiyasi, qashshoqlikning ortishi, in'ektsiya orqali narkotik iste'mol qilish va uysizlik. Shuni ta'kidlash joizki, Reygan ma'muriyati 1981-yilda oziq-ovqat markalari dasturidan 7 milliard dollar qisqartirdi. Ushbu qisqartirishdan so'ng darhol ochlikka bog'liq muammolar, jumladan anemiya, sil kasalligi, sekin o'sish va osteoporoz yana paydo bo'la boshladi.
In the USA, the number of active tuberculosis cases began to rise in 1985 after it had declined continuously since the 1950s. Several factors were behind the return of tuberculosis, including the HIV/AIDS epidemic, increased poverty, IV drug use, and homelessness. It is worth noting that the Reagan administration cut 7 billion dollars from the food stamp program in 1981. Immediately after this cut, hunger-related problems such as anemia, tuberculosis, poor growth, and osteoporosis crawled back.
Kasalliklarni nazorat qilish va oldini olish markazi (CDC) 2005 yilda Qo'shma Shtatlarda 14 093 ta faol sil (tuberkulyoz, TB) kasalligi holatini va 10 dan 15 milliongacha yashirin sil bilan kasallangan odamni qayd etgan. Yashirin sil infektsiyasiga chalingan kishilarning o'ttiz foizi diabet bo'lsa, faol silga o'tadi, deyarli barcha OIV infektsiyasiga chalingan kishilar esa faol silga o'tadi. OITS holatidagidek, Qo'shma Shtatlarda sil eng ko'p kambag'al aholi qatlamida – ispaniyaliklar orasida (100 000 kishiga 8,5 holat) va qora tanlilar orasida (100 000 kishiga 9,4 holat) uchraydi, oq tanlilar orasida esa bu ko'rsatkich 100 000 kishiga 1,1 holatni tashkil etadi.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported 14,093 cases of active tuberculosis (TB) in the United States in 2005, and 10 to 15 million people with latent tuberculosis. Thirty percent of those with latent TB infection will progress into active tuberculosis if they have diabetes, and almost all with HIV infection will progress into active TB. As in the case of AIDS, tuberculosis in the United States is highest among the poor population of the Hispanics (8.5 cases per 100,000) and the blacks (9.4 per 100,000) compared to whites (1.1 cases per 100,000).
Davolash usullari mavjud, biroq sil kasalligi bilan og‘rigan bemorlarning atigi taxminan 37 foizi resurslar yetishmasligi va sifatli dorilarning ishonchsiz ta'minoti tufayli to‘g‘ri davolanmoqda. Natijada, ko‘p dorilarga chidamli sil (MDR-TB) kasalligi tarqalishi keskin oshmoqda, yiliga uch yuz ming yangi holat qayd etilmoqda. MDR-TB ni davolash oddiy sil kasalligiga qaraganda yuz baravar qimmatga tushadi. Yana bir bor, qashshoqlik va resurslarning notekis taqsimlanishi epidemiya darajasidagi yana bir kasallikning sababchisi bo‘lmoqda. Jahon sog‘liqni saqlash tashkiloti (JSST) hisob-kitoblariga ko‘ra, agar nazorat qilinmasa, 2020 yilga borib sil kasalligidan 36 million kishi halok bo‘ladi79. 19-rasmda ko‘rinib turibdiki, sil holatlari ortishda davom etmoqda; bu o‘sish sekinlashmayapti.
There are cures, yet only around 37% of TB cases receive proper treatment due to a lack of resources and unreliable supplies of quality drugs. As a result, multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB) incidence is surging, with three hundred thousand new cases each year. MDR-TB is a hundred times more expensive to treat than normal TB. One more time, poverty and unbalanced distribution of resources is responsible for another disease of epidemic proportions. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 36 million people will die of tuberculosis by 2020 if it is not controlled79. Figure 19 shows that TB cases continue to be on the rise; it is not slowing down.
Yana bir katta qotil — bezgak (malariya) kasalligi. Sil kasalligida bo‘lgani kabi, dori vositalariga chidamlilik muammosi kundan-kunga kuchayib bormoqda. Jahon sog‘liqni saqlash tashkiloti (JSST) hisob-kitoblariga ko‘ra, har yili 300–500 million kishi bu kasallikka chalinmoqda, 1–3 million kishi esa vafot etmoqda — ularning aksariyati bolalardir. Bunday yuqumli kasallikning ijtimoiy va iqtisodiy zarari halokatlidir. Bezgak Sahro osti Afrikasining aholi jon boshiga to‘g‘ri keladigan YaIM o‘sish sur’atlarini yiliga taxminan 1,3 foiz punktga pasaytirishda davom etmoqda.
Another major killer is malaria, and as with TB, drug resistance is a growing problem. WHO estimates that each year there are 300-500 million cases, with 1-3 million deaths—mostly children. The social and economic burden of such infection is catastrophic. Malaria continues to undercut sub-Saharan Africa’s GDP per capita growth rates by some 1.3 percentage points per year.
Bu asosiy qotillardan tashqari, har yili millionlab insonlar hayotini o‘ldirishda davom etayotgan boshqa ko‘plab kasalliklar ham bor. Qashshoqlik, ochlik, toza suvdan yetarlicha foydalana olmaslik, sanitariya sharoitlarining yetarli emasligi va yetarsiz ovqatlanish, OITS, sil va bezgak bizdan yana million-millionlab hayotlarni mahrum qilmoqda, ularning aksariyati bolalardir.
Besides these main killers, there are many other diseases that continue to consume millions of human lives every year. Poverty, hunger, poor access to clean water, inadequate sanitation and malnutrition, AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria are depriving us of several million lives, the majority of whom are children.
Kapitalizm hukmronligi ostidagi kasallik va qashshoqlik inson hayoti uchun urushda g‘alaba qozonmoqda. To‘g‘ri ta’lim, oziq-ovqat xavfsizligi va sog‘lom ishchi kuchisiz, dunyoning barqaror iqtisodiy va ijtimoiy rivojlanishga umidi kam. Kasal va och bolalar maktabda o‘qishga qodir emas va agar borsa ham, yaxshi o‘qiy olmaydi. Natijada, yomon ta’lim olgan, ishsiz va begonalashgan yoshlarning katta guruhlari paydo bo‘ladi. Bu siyosiy beqarorlik, ijtimoiy birdamlikning yo‘qolishi va muvaffaqiyatsizlik uchun qulay muhit yaratadigan retsept hisoblanadi.
Disease and poverty under the dominance of capitalism are winning the war against human life. Without proper education, food security, and healthy workforce, the world has little hope of sustained economic and social development. Sick and hungry children cannot afford to attend school and, if they do, will not be able to learn well. The end result is large pools of poorly educated, unemployed, and alienated young people. This is a recipe for political instability, social incohesion, and a suitable climate for failure.
Ajablanarlisi shundaki, Jahon sog‘liqni saqlash tashkiloti (JSST), Jahon banki, Xalqaro valyuta fondi (XVF) va boshqa jahon tashkilotlari dori-darmonlar hamda sog‘liqni saqlash resurslari ishlab chiqarishni oshirish zarurligini takror-takror ta’kidlab kelmoqda. Aslida e’tiborga olinishi lozim bo‘lgan narsa shuki, har qanday epidemik kasallikni davolash narxi (OITS bilan og‘rigan bemorlar uchun yiliga 15 000 dollar) dunyodagi ko‘plab OITS bemorlarining imkoniyatidan ancha yuqori. Dunyoga kerak bo‘lgan narsa shunchaki boshqa ko‘p narsa emas: ko‘proq ishlab chiqarish va ko‘proq resurslar emas; dunyoga haqiqatan ham yangi iqtisodiy infratuzilma, resurslarni adolatliroq taqsimlash mexanizmi kerak. Bunday tizim och odamlarning oziq-ovqat resurslaridan, kasallarning dori-darmonlar va sog‘liqni saqlash muassasalaridan, savodsizlarning esa ta’lim muassasalaridan foydalanishini ta’minlashi lozim.
The irony is that world organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and others continue to emphasize the necessity to increase the production of drugs and health care resources. What should be emphasized is the fact that the cost of treatment of any of the epidemic diseases ($15,000 per year for AIDS victims) is way beyond what many of the AIDS patients in the world can afford. What the world needs is not more of the same: increased production and resources; the world really needs a new economic infrastructure with a more just mechanism for resource distribution, a system that enables the hungry to access food resources and the sick to access drugs and health care facilities, and the illiterate to access education facilities.
Sog‘liqni saqlash, oziq-ovqat, ta’lim va xavfsizlikni hamma uchun ta’minlash maqsadini iqtisodiy tizimga vaqtinchalik tuzatish sifatida qarash mumkin emas; aksincha, u iqtisodiy tizimning asosiy negizlariga muhrlanishi kerak. Aynan shu yerda kapitalizm muvaffaqiyatsizlikka uchraydi va shuning uchun dunyo yangi tizim va mafkuraga shiddat bilan muhtoj.
The objective of providing health, food, education, and security for all cannot be treated as a patch to the economic system; rather it should be engraved in the fundamentals of the economic system. This is exactly where capitalism fails, and that is why the world is in dire need of a new system and ideology.
