THE NEEDS OF OUR PEOPLES

摘要

In our continent, from the least socially and economically developed countries to the most developed and prosperous, the more peremptory challenges converge in two fundamental areas: education and health. While many relate the quality level reached in both areas to the GDP and other indicators of the respective country's economy, it is not these, but the former, that at the end are determinants of their development. Without an adequate development of the health sector, understood in a comprehensive sense, including primary and specialized care, preventive and curative, as well as the social security of the population and, in general, the preservation of the environment and the quality of life of the citizens, it is not possible to speak about a developed society. However, it is obvious that some countries that are considered as having a high development level are devoid of a developed society in this sense.
