TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - The primary solution of global poor health and poverty JO - Medicine, conflict and survival A1 - Tegegne, Ayalew SP - 107 EP - 114 VL - 24 IS - 2 N2 - There is a huge global burden of disease and mortality. The principal underlying cause is regarded as poverty. This is associated with a global order of fear, over-consumption, over-population and violence, which can interact in a vicious circle. It is proposed that the solution to the problem is not only the relief of poverty, but the institution of a new order in which the individual is sovereign. This in turn requires a trinity of ideals for the individual: self-control to avoid over-consumption, altruism to cope with fear, and peace to manage violence.
