Factoid – 20201203 – Importance of Healthcare Infrastructure

Jeff

A collection of unusual facts, trivia and minutiae harvested from the Internet and other places of intrigue.

How much does it cost to cure leprosy?

 

“Factoid: A brief or trivial item of news or information.”

“How much does it cost to treat leprosy? One $3 dose of antibiotic will cure a mild case; a $20 regimen of three antibiotics will cure a more severe case. The World Health Organization even provides the drugs free, but India‘s health care infrastructure is not good enough to identify the afflicted and get them the medicine they need.

So, more than 100,000 people in India are horribly disfigured by a disease that costs $3 to cure.

That is what it means to have a per capita GDP of $2,900.”

Jeff

Rangoli, also known as kolam or Muggu, is a folk art from India in which patterns are created on the floor in living rooms or courtyards using materials such as colored rice, dry flour, colored sand or flower petals. It is usually made during Diwali, Onam, Pongal and other Indian festivals. They are meant to be sacred welcoming areas for the Hindu deities.

Jeff

The UK Pickleball Association and the French Pickleball Association join the USA, Canada, Spain and India as members of the IFP.

If you want to read more about this, visit Jennifer Lucore’s website where she has Part 1 of an article about the International Pickleball Tournament 2015.

There is a quick, entertaining video showing some scenes from the tournament in Spain.

Of course those of us who have taken to the sport don’t have to be told that pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in the USA and perhaps the worldand FUN!
