Parasitic worms hold back human progress. Here's how we can end them | Ellen Agler

Prevodilac: Ivana Korom Lektor: Aleksandar Korom

These are worms.

Ovo su gliste.

Not the kind of worms you find crawling in the dirt.

Ne ona vrsta koju nalazimo pod zemljom.

These are parasitic roundworms.

Ovo su parazitske valjkaste gliste.

They live inside a human being's intestines.

One žive unutar ljudskih creva.

Each of these worms can grow up to 12 inches long,

Svaka od njih može da naraste do 30 cm,

and there are 200 of them in this jar for a reason,

a razlog zažto ih je 200 u ovoj tegli jeste,

because that is the number you might typically find

jer je to broj koji uglavnom možemo naći

in the belly of a single infected child.

u stomaku jednog zaraženog deteta.

Worm infections have been around for thousands of years.

Infekcija crvima postoji već hiljadama godina.

They have influenced the outcomes of wars,

Ona je uticala na ishode ratova,

and they have long stymied human health.

i dugo je ometala ljudsko zdravlje.

Roundworm, hookworm,

valjkaste gliste, ankilostomijaza,

whipworm, schistosomiasis:

trihurijaza, šistozomijaza:

infections from these species cause pain and discomfort.

infekcija ovih vrsta izaziva bol i nelagodu.

They steal nutrients and zap energy.

One uzimaju nutrijente i crpe energiju.

They stunt both physical and cognitive growth.

One sputavaju i fizički i kognitivni rast.

In most cases, these worms may not be fatal,

U većini slučajeva, ove gliste nisu fatalne,

but paradoxically, that's part of the problem.

ali paradoksalno, to je deo problema.

It means that many countries

To znači da većina zemalja

simply have not been able to prioritize their treatment.

jednostavno nije odredila lečenje kao prioritet.

There's a social cost to that:

Tu leži društvena cena:

children without access to deworming treatments

deca koja nemaju pristup lečenju od glista

have lower rates of school attendance.

imaju niže stope pohađanja škole.

Adults who grow up without deworming medicine

Osobe koje su odrasle bez lekova protiv glista

are less productive and have lower lifelong earnings.

su manje produktivne i imaju niže prihode u toku života.

What intestinal worms do, really,

Ono što crevne gliste rade, zapravo,

is limit potential.

jeste ograničavanje potencijala.

Currently, there are 1.7 billion people in the world still at risk for worms.

Trenutno, 1,7 milijardi ljudi je još uvek u riziku od glista.

Six hundred million of them are in Africa.

600 miliona njih je u Africi.

For every dollar invested in worm control and prevention,

Za svaki dolar koji se uloži u kontrolu i prevenciju,

African countries see up to 42 dollars return in economic benefits.

afričke zemlje vide čak do 42 dolara povrata u vidu ekonomske koristi.

The good news is that deworming treatment is extremely easy.

Dobra vest je ta da je lečenje izuzetno lako.

One to three pills given once or twice a year

1-3 tablete date jednom ili dva puta godišnje

is enough to take a child from 200 worms to zero

su dovoljne da zaraženo dete sa 200 glista svedu na nula

and to protect them from infection going forward.

i zaštite od budućih infekcija.

In communities where there's a high prevalence of worms,

U zajednicama gde je veća prisutnost glista,

treatment can be done right at school.

lečenje se može sprovesti u školama.

This process is extremely simple and fast.

Ovaj proces je izuzetno lak i brz.

In Ethiopia, for example, this is done for 20 million children

U Etiopiji, na primer, se ovo sprovede za 20 miliona dece

in a matter of weeks.

u roku od nekoliko nedelja.

The world has come a long way

Svet je prešao dugačak put

on getting deworming medicines to the people who need them,

do isporuke lekova ljudima kojima je potrebno,

and African governments want to gain more traction.

i afričke vlade žele još veću inicijativu.

It's now time to match their ambition.

Vreme je da ispratimo njihovu ambiciju.

The END Fund will work with governments

Fondacija "Kraj" će raditi sa vladama

to create a plan that drastically reduces the burden of disease caused by worms.

da napravi plan koji će drastično smanjiti teret bolesti uzrokovane glistama.

They’ll work together to ensure prevention and treatment programs

Zajedno će raditi na prevenciji i programima lečenja

can serve everyone.

koji mogu služiti svima.

The END Fund has an audacious idea:

Fondacija "Kraj" ima jednu odvažnu ideju:

they believe we are the generation to end sickness from worm infections forever.

veruju da će naša generacija iskoreniti bolesti nastale glisnim infekcijama.

The key is not simply to build new programs from scratch,

Ključno je da ne treba stvarati nove programe iz temelja,

but to amplify the efforts of the programs that are already taking shape.

nego da treba proširiti trud već postojećih programa.

By examining the problem of how worms transmit disease,

Ispitivanjem problema kako gliste prenose bolest,

the END Fund has identified five key areas where they can drive improvement.

Fondacija "Kraj" je odredila 5 ključnih oblasti koje može poboljšati.

Number one: lower the cost of treatment.

Broj jedan: smanjiti trošak lečenja.

Many pharmaceutical companies offer deworming medicines for free,

Mnoge farmaceutske kompanije nude besplatno lekove protiv glista,

so the END Fund works with the right partners

tako da fond "Kraj" radi sa pravim partnerima

to coordinate their delivery.

kako bi uskladio njihovu isporuku.

They will continue to secure drug donations

Nastaviće da obezbeđuju donaciju lekova

for additional at-risk populations.

za ugroženi deo populacije.

They can now do it for less than 25 cents per child per year.

Sada to rade za manje od 25 centi po detetu godišnje.

Number two: focus on prevention.

Broj dva: fokus na prevenciji.

The END Fund calls in the right partners to educate communities

Fondacija "Kraj" poziva prave partnere u edukaciji zajednica

on sanitation and hygiene

o sanitaciji i higijeni

in order to change behaviors around things like hand-washing

sa ciljem da promeni ponašanje vezane za stvari kao što su pranje ruku

and latrine use,

i korišćenje nužnika,

ensuring people are not continually reinfected.

kako bi osigurala ljude od ponovne zaraze.

Number three: invest in innovation.

Broj tri: ulaganje u inovaciju.

The END Fund has contributed to deworming

Fond "Kraj" je doprineo oslobađanju od glista

by introducing innovative techniques that effectively target and treat people.

uvođenjem inovativnih tehnika koje efektivno nalaze i leče ljude.

They will test new delivery methods,

Testiraće nove metode isporuke,

target the environments where parasites thrive

pronaći će okruženja u kojima paraziti bujaju

and influence behavior change.

i podsticaće promenu ponašanja.

Number four: monitor and evaluate.

Broj četiri: nadgledati i proceniti.

The END Fund collects detailed data on all programs on a regular basis

Fondacija "Kraj" redovno skuplja detaljne podatke o svim programima

to help them get better and better over time.

kako bi im pomogla da postanu sve bolji i bolji.

Number five: increase local ownership.

Broj pet: povećati lokalno vlasništvo.

At all stages of the process,

U svim fazama procesa,

the END Fund works with government and local stakeholders

Fondacija "Kraj" radi sa vladama i lokalnim akterima

to encourage cofinancing commitments that support deworming efforts.

kako bi podstakla sufinansiranja koja potpomažu borbu protiv glista.

They also worked with African philanthropists

Ona sklapa partnerstva sa afričkim filantropima

and corporate leaders to partner on these efforts.

i korporativnim liderima kako bi zajedno radili na ovom cilju.

There's an incredible opportunity to work together to create a new system

Postoji odlična šansa za zajednički rad koji bi stvorio novi sistem

for disease elimination for the next decade and beyond.

za eliminaciju bolesti u sledećoj deceniji, a i nadalje.

Part of the money the END Fund needs

Deo sredstava potrebnih fondu "Kraj"

will go directly toward delivering deworming treatments

bi išao direktno za isporuku lekova protiv glista

to communities that need it

zajednicama kojima je potrebno,

and part will go towards facilitating the handover of programs

a deo bi išao za olakšavanje predaje programa

to local ownership.

lokalnom vlasništvu.

Together, these efforts will create prevention and treatment programs

Zajedno, ovi napori će stvoriti programe lečenja i prevencije

that are sustainable far into the future.

koji su održivi i za daleku budućnost.

If this plan gets fully funded for the next six years,

Ako se ovaj plan u potpunosti finansira u narednih 6 godina,

tens of millions of people will receive deworming treatment.

desetine miliona ljudi će dobiti lečenje protiv glista.

With that, countries will be interrupting the cycle of disease transmission

Sa tim, države će prekinuti krug prenošenja zaraze

at all levels,

na svim nivoima,

and most importantly, people will experience significant improvements

i najbitnije, ljudi će doživeti značajan napredak

in their mental, physical and social health.

u svom mentalnom, fizičkom i društvenom zdravlju.

Just imagine the potential that will be gained

Samo zamislite potencijal koji će se dobiti

when people can stop worrying about these

kada ljudi prestanu da brinu o njima

and can put their energy into things like these.

i mogu da ulože svoju energiju u stvari kao što su ove.
