The Future of Organ Transplants

United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is a private, non-profit organization that heads up the nation’s organ transplant network, in conjuction with the federal government.

According to UNOS, as of September 2020, over 109,000 people need a lifesaving organ transplant (total wait list candidates). From January 2020 through September 2020, there were 22,133 transplants.

Coping with Mental Health During Quarantine

Coping with Mental Health During Quarantine

Mental health has become significantly more crucial to Americans during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

A distinctive attribute of COVID-19 is that there are many unknowns. The sickness itself currently has no known cure or proven treatment. Additionally, there are contradicting pieces of information about what should be done to control the virus, which can result in anxiety and fear.

The caliber of this disease has caused people to significantly alter their day-to-day lives. And for those who were already suffering from anxiety before the global outbreak, they are having a particularly challenging time adjusting to these new conditions.

Covid-19 Tracing Apps: A Valuable Tool to Slow the Spread

We are now five months into a global pandemic, and COVID-19 has taken an insurmountable tool on life as we know it.

Healthcare Equity

Achieving Health Equity

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), “Equity is the absence of avoidable or remediable differences among groups of people, whether those groups are defined socially, economically, demographically, or geographically.”

The WHO goes onto explain, “Health inequities involve more than inequality with respect to health determinants, access to the resources needed to improve and maintain health or health outcomes. They also entail a failure to avoid or overcome inequalities that infringe on fairness and human rights norms.”

Systematic variances among different population groups have been in the news for years and is once again making headlines in recent weeks. Compared to other industrialized countries, the United States has historically ranked low on measures of health equity. Additionally, a 2017 report shows a wide variation of disparity in health status by state.

The economic strain of health disparities in America is expected to increase to $126 billion in 2020 and rising to over $350 billion by 2050 if the disparities stay the same.

Health gaps among different race populations in the U.S. is due in part to decades of systematic inequality — from housing to the economy, to the infrastructure of healthcare systems.

According to the Center for American Progress, in 2017, over 10% of African Americans or Black Americans were uninsured, compared to nearly 6% of non-Hispanic whites. Additionally, over 12% of African Americans (under the age of 65) reportedly had no health insurance coverage.
