The Pros And Cons Of Doctors Without Borders

356 Words2 Pages

Doctors without borders is a NPO that focuses on world-wide medical care that acts with total independence. While this sounds fine and dandy, there comes some negative aspects to this as well. More specifically, danger and terrorism. These doctors travel all around the globe and place themselves in danger to provide care to those in need without bias. Which brings the point to terrorism- Last year in Kunduz, Afghanistan a supposed U.S. airstrike was carried out on a Doctors Without Borders trauma center. The reason? There was supposed undeniable proof that the Taliban were using that trauma center as a base of operations.
A NPO that gives unbiased humanitarian aid, so why would they not help men and women and children branded as terrorists

    174 Words  | 1 Pages

    I think that Canada should try to retain its peacekeeping role. In the past years, Canada has been putting a lot more money and resources into fighting the war in Afghanistan, while they could have been investing in peacekeeping missions (Shephard). Canada should decrease its involvement in violent missions and increase their involvement in peacekeeping missions. They have participated in both in the past (Dyck 207). However, recently, under the leadership of the Harper government, they have primarily been engaging in violent missions (Harper).

They do not have the ability to obtain a drivers license because they are or were undocumented. Then again so were our Founding Fathers. Most people think that they don’t deserve the right to a drivers license because that would just cause more danger to them.

We have been given the task to help rebuild their image, and offer our recommendations on how to regain public trust and support. After the defunding of Planned Parenthood (PP) and its mismanagement of dissemination of information and response, the question that strikes us was why Planned Parenthood responded to the news and actions of SGK negatively. Despite the fact that it is true, that PP was under federal investigation for mismanagement of funds. Based on the knowledge we gain from analyzing scholarly article, video recommendations and records of communication between SGK, PP and the public, our group propose

  • Five Days At Memorial Analysis

    1632 Words  | 7 Pages

    The novel Five Days at Memorial by Sheri Fink gives an inside view of what happened at Memorial Hospital during Hurricane Katrina (2005); a disaster inside of a disaster. The lack of preparedness or ethical decision making is quite disappointing, considering Memorial hospital is located in New Orleans, Louisiana. New Orleans is well below sea level, and experiences frequent hurricanes and flooding. Memorial hospital itself had little to no plan for evacuating patients once the storm hit. Without power, many of the patients, especially those who were ventilator dependent, became at risk of death.

  • Differences Between Italy And America's Healthcare System

    1154 Words  | 5 Pages

    While the doctors in Italy are fighting for a better system, America is experiencing a shortage of doctors and nurses (“13.4 Problems of Healthcare in the United States” np). This is a major problem because physicians are needed to help the patients and if there are not enough physicians, then who will care for the patients in dire need of medical help? One of the main factors contributing to a shortage of doctors and nurses is that emergency rooms, where the majority of patients come to for help, are understaffed (“13.4 Problems of Healthcare in the United States” np). The reason behind this lack of medical professionals is due to the fact that they too are being underpaid which leads them to not want to volunteer for difficult work when they are not receiving enough pay (“13.4 Problems of Healthcare in the United States” np). If America was to begin paying doctors more than maybe more would volunteer to help out in emergency rooms, which unquestionably require an immense amount of medical professionals to treat emergent illnesses.
