Unaddressed but Ubiquitous: Tackling the Neglected Enormous Disease Affecting Over a Billion People Worldwide

The world faces numerous challenges, with climate change, war, and immigration often receiving the most attention and funding. While these issues are undoubtedly important on a global scale, there are other significant problems that receive less airtime and awareness but are equally pressing.

One such issue is tuberculosis, which affects millions of people worldwide. Despite its prevalence, tuberculosis often receives less attention than more glamorous diseases. However, organizations like the World Health Organization have launched programs to address this issue and provide funding for research and treatment options.

Another lesser-known disease that deserves more attention is nutrition. Malnutrition affects millions of children worldwide, leading to stunted growth and weakened immune systems. While some progress has been made in addressing this issue through government programs and private philanthropy, there is still much work to be done to ensure that all children have access to nutritious food.

Despite these efforts, there remains a challenge that receives little coverage but affects more than 1 billion people worldwide. This issue could be referred to as the “neglected enormous disease” due to its significant impact on a large portion of the global population. Addressing this issue efficiently requires increased awareness and funding from both governments and private philanthropies. Only by working together can we hope to make a difference in the lives of those who suffer from this neglected disease.
