摘 要: | When you worry about your health,chances are you think about drinking more water or getting a Pap test.But in developing nations around the world,millions of young women are engaged in a battle against health problems that are shockingly simple to fight-health problems we don't even give a thought to. As mind-boggling as it is.approximately 3 million women and girl-in countries as far away as Bangladesh and as near as Mexico-could die this year of tuberculosis,pneumonia and other preventable diseases that doctors have known how to treat for decades. "There was a huge public outcry a few years ago when a young woman in Vermont died of malaria,"notes Nils Daulaire,M.D.,president and CEO of the Global Health Council "It was a tragedy,but one that happens every hour in the developing world."
