What is the name of the disease where NGOs spend highest amount of money? The answer is AIDS. They hardly help any victim and definitely don’t do any research in AIDS. All the money goes in advertisement and creating awareness (easiest way to prepare report without spending any??). At the end of the day, what is the level of awareness among the common people? It is way bellow the expectation. People don’t touch an AIDS patient expecting it is epidemic.
What is the name of disease which caused the highest number of casualties and deaths? It is Malaria. There are certain areas where if somebody goes to hospital for fever, doctor starts treatment for malaria before doing the blood test. Government or NGOs need not spend millions for advertisement/awareness. People know the problem. No research is required for medicine, we already have the medicines. NGOs and government need to work on it so that the number of causality because of malaria is lower and gradually eradicated.
Interestingly the number NGOs those who show interest in eradicating Malaria are far less than those who show interest in AIDS. Probable money generation is the motive behind starting a NGO and not helping the poor.
