As a fly that ruins a domino effect, in the coolness of Chagas we sometimes interrupt without wanting the path to effective attention.
The Domino effect record It is in a figure made with 500,000 pieces that fell one left overlooked synchronized from the first card demolished by the slight thrust of undo. In August 2018, in the city of Nidda, near Frankfurt, UN team of 20 people, it was proposed to beat that record creating UN colossal circuit of about 600,000 chips. Everything investigates that he was going to beat, but The flutter of a flyOne as lowercase as an inoportuna fly, he disrupts a job of several weeks. School plates, with millimeter calculations so that they all fall in a row. The fly passed before the middle, knocking down a file and generating the disruption of half of the circuit.
A very fragile gear
Maybe it’s not the case, but someone suffering from one of the Unattended cooling (ETDS) and for those who investigate or try to take attention, something similar happens. 1000 million affected people depend on a very fragile gear sustained between health systems, governments, private sector, cooperation and research organizations. Each Pileza is key and must coordinate
The flutter of a fly, one as lowercase as an inappropriate fly, gave the three with a job of several weeks
And we know that when we talk about the institutions, in reality, we talk about People involved. Because, as Nilva Belo recalls, affected by the infectious of Chagas in the Goias region (Brazil) She changed her life The decision of a doctor who offered the treatment. That was described that the professional health primer who attended it told him that this ailment had no cure or solution. A very common misinformation between the health sector not only in Chagas, but in other ETDs.
We are all necessary in Chagas
In fact, the topic proposed by the associations of affected people for the World Chagas Day From this year, which is commemorated on April 14, is: «For the prevention and control of the cooling of Chagas we are all necessary.»
Let’s put a file: the one of the FINANCING TO RESEARCH. Chagas receives less than 0.7% of all funds dedicated to R&D in unattended diseases.

Another file: the medicine. There are diagnostic methods and very effective treatments especially in minors and in young people. And it is also effective in reducing parasitemia in chronic adult patients who do not have serious organic complications. But if the estimates are right, the people who access the treatment do not reach 1%. And we are having 7 million with the infection and about 100 million at risk.
Why don’t Chagas treatments come
Most of those people are in Latin AmericaWhere the Chagas vector (which is not a fly but a triathomine insect called Vinchuca, Barbeiro or Chinche, among other names) is endemic. In other countries such as Spain EITHER USA There are many miles with the disease, although in them the transmission occurs from mother to son or, at a lesser extent, retransficas, transplants or laboratory failures. It is a global health problem. So what happens so that the treatments that, in most cases, are offered donated?
Sometimes we are the fly
A diversity of Barriers prevents it. But as before, when we said that the child institutions, we cannot talk about barriers without thinking about people. And somehow, and even with the best intentions, sometimes we are also like that fly that frustrated the world record.
The decision of a single persons counts to save lives
If we do not focus well on our tasks and do not coordinate with the subtraction of the community that fights the ChagasWe can interrupt the circuit that ends in the effective attitude that affected people deserve. Nilva reminds us again: the decision of a single persons counts to save Viidas. Political, financial, systemic, operational decisions. And you go from them, the people who take them.
Chagas as a metaphor
Chagas is not only cooling but a metaphor that encompasses the forgetfulness of many Other unattended diseases. Lo Hueno is knowing that there are many people determined to eliminate them as a public health problem. It is what was dreamed Fulfill when you reach 2030. But we cannot forget a second the fragility of the environment of these diseases and response systems. Cadada one, isolation, we are as fried as a fly in everything This great gearBut we can Provoke or prevent the chips from falling In its fair measure.
It is beautiful, hypnotic, to contemplate a giant Sunday effect. It is a metaphor of how far we can go cooperating, been people with a function and a place in the tour
It is beautiful, hypnotic, to contemplate a giant Sunday effect. The world record, in fact, beat again in several modalities. That’s another metaphor How far we can go cooperatingBeen chips, flies, but in reality people with a function and a place in the tour. That this April 14 reminds us that our decisions can also save lives.
