Negative in the next day and past that i know how that would be a good thing so that ultimate is about socializing its about making connection. To times to provide just about a healthier way to meet with friends and find that connection. As i mentioned before that 19 has shown up just how much or how little is spent on health care in some countries but throwing a whole lot of money at a problem does not necessarily insure the best outcome lets have a look at what Health Care Cost around the world before the pandemic and what you get for your money as were about to see we in germany are pretty lucky when it comes to results as in facilities the question is upgrading care in poor countries. Our world is becoming ever more densely populated during the coronavirus pandemic Good Health Care is more important than ever but that costs money. Front run it is the United States which even in normal times spends nearly 17 percent of its g. D. P. On health care switzerland germany and austria follow. Although its the costliest the us system is not necessarily the best. Patients who cant afford insurance or unable to pay cash often only seek treatment once theyre very sick. Looking at the number of intensive care beds germany went into the pandemic best equipped followed by austria the United States was in 3rd place followed by other e. U. Member states and intensive care beds are a key factor especially in times like these an average day in the German Health care system even when there is no pandemic raging looks Something Like this 4000000 people see a doctor. 50000 people are sent to hospital. 2000000. 00 packs of drugs and medicines are prescribed each day in germany. And there are 129000 vaccinations. The vaccination rate is highest among small children then it drops young adults receive fewer jabs but in old age the rate rises again. The coronavirus pandemic could well change all that. Now theres something really basic we havent covered it sanitation access to clean water to wash your hands one of the main reasons why some of these diseases do the rounds so quickly and what about the 2000000000 people around the world who dont have toilets Public Toilets few and far between in india its a serious problem especially for women in today old city buses being turned into toilets and washing facilities tailored to womens needs. Its one of indias largest cities but for every 3000. 00 people here theres a grand total of one Public Toilet india actually publishes rankings for its cities reading each one in terms of cleanliness hygiene and sanitation. And 28 ranks number 11 so it was clear theres room for improvement more often than not its women who suffer most from the lack of facilities as a resident and entrepreneur. Knows only too well she set up a portable sanitation business to combat the problem every woman has a story and we end up using the toilet only if its a do or die situation that is a Woman Working on a construction site audit that is a good was going high and. They all have the right to a good story. Subtle car works with us local authorities to transform discarded old municipal boxes into toilets intended exclusively for women theyre called t. Toilets meaning toilets for her in the local language. These decommissioned buses were just lying around in the city authorities death waiting to be scrapped now theyve taken on a new life as vibrant Sanitation Centers for women station to 12 busy areas in the city like major bus stops tourist destinations and community centers. Filed a case with a high court questioning the lack of access to Public Toilets for women they found there were no toilets for women in crowded areas in the city near the main bus station or in markets so thats why we approved these toilets made out of old buses. That will be given. A lack of toilets is not just a minor problem in india its a calls of extreme discomfort for many and can also lead to Serious Health issues. If we have to relieve ourselves in the open theres no access to Running Water and its very dirty compared to this. This very hygenic it would be very difficult for me if that didnt exist and for other women like me i used to hold back from Drinking Water because of the lack of toilets my body would ache you know i used to visit the doctor quite often now the toilet buses put in and i save money to go up and. When i started managing one of the toilet centers in 2017 she worked hard to ensure this facility was a clean and above all safe place for women. To think that im usually in Public Toilets there and then all around if we need any women so i can promise you can ask openly for them here we can ask them and talk freely. Every boss. Has one or 2 ways to boil it and about drought to be in into our lives they work also in our lights. So that were not wasting electricity all the lights that i need right now are running on so not. Only more time to connect to the mean i mean electricity lines we have. A diaper changing station for babies women who come to the park and they might get quiet other than the feature this is in this box is that you only play regular videos on our t. V. On celtic would be on the hand washing habits it could be on you know selfexamination progress. For a fee of 5. 00 rupees or 0. 06 which is the price of a small suite or candy a woman can access those services which include Menstrual Hygiene products a space for breast feeding. As well as an outlet stocked with Drinking Water and refreshments. At least 250 women use the toilets every day the numbers have grown steadily since the service was 1st launched in 2016. That are working women in the city that are stored in the set of goods that are schoolchildren and they all are out on the move now and if there had to be we had to give something good them said you know do we know that this public space also includes you when a. Women can now feel a bit safer on the streets of bruno and their lives have become a bit easier. To bicycles could bike soon rule the road in berlin driving is always been a drag in big cities rush hour traffic jams well cycling gets around that and its also proving less risky in the pandemic than crowded buses or trains many cities around the globe of being busy upgrading their cycling infrastructure its a great way to avoid the traffic and crowds and get fit.
