This approach suggested by her is already used in primary health care in Brazil. It really works. And the most important: it's free and accessible to all moms and children Sorry if I wrote something wrong. I'm Brazilian and don't have much fluency on english
eh why do people feel the need to state that they aren't good in english and should be pardoned for their mistake? What would happen if you did not state that? If you made a mistake someone would point it out and you would improve but since you put that "disclaimer" there, people will just respond with the typical "your english is so good omg!!!!". You should not think that being bilingual gives you the privilege to be pardoned for bad language. PS. you didn't actually make any grammatical/spelling mistakes :P.
+Kitty Max First, I'm not bilingual. Portuguese is my language, and I use english only to read and listen some stuff of college. I didn't expected "omg your english is so good" at all, but, I've forgotten that people only read/listen what they want to. I think that people here in br would understand you if you tell something wrong in portuguese. you should be more empathic.
Beatriz Pantoja I think you seriously misunderstood my comment. Firstly, the usage of the word bilingual was incorrect. Secondly, I never claimed that the purpose of your disclaimer was to gain compliments. What I was trying to tell you is that writing a disclaimer about your English indirectly hurts you because you aren't offered indirect criticism, which helps you improve. Aka saying that your English may not be that good is a redundant statement that you should not use in my opinion. Just a friendly advice.
for a public health practitioner trying to design population level and community solutions, the comments section is enlightening. one can get a snapshot of society's different stances on the same matter at hand just by scrolling through it. easy way of sampling mindsets and thinking of addressing challenges in the way of doing the right thing.
It might be worth mentioning that Herceptin costs $4,500 per month or $54,000 per year. Often taken with Perjeta which costs $5,400 per month or $71,000 per year. Together, $115,000.
walperstyle I should also add that you would not see medication sold for pennies if these regulations dropped. NCE research and Clinical Trailing costs loads. Without the prices for medication, pharma reserach would cease to exist.
walperstyle Sadly you are deluded. The majority of profit will be reinvested into R&D, paying shareholders is also important otherwise companies will fail to go where science takes them. It's a bad idea, because it will bankrupt pharma companies after years of research and bringing drugs to market. I support the patent, anyway it's not like the patent is lifelong. Many last 25 years and then generics can be made.
My sister's baby was born earlier at 32weeks. He tested covid right after birth and stopped breathing several times. He was in NICU for 2 months. My sister was thinking a place for him to RIP because he seemed to have no chance to be alive. My sister delayed picking a name because she thought her son would die. I said "no, I will name your son". I don't care what they are afraid, To me if he might die or not, he still needed a name right after birth. My nephew is almost 1 year old now 😊😊
Keep doing it Doc! Amazing work! This sure is a complex science problem. Some of these ppl commenting here are just to narrow to understand the factors here.
I'm sorry but why she taking credit for something that the public health field has been doing for YEARS like yes you're a Doctor and thanks for spreading awareness but public health researchers are extremely intelligent biostaticians/epidemiologists that don't need practicing M.D.'s acting like they're the ones saving everyone's lives. They're there to apply public health to their individual patients unless they chose a career in public health (which is not fee-for-service) so none of them do. HUG YOUR LOCAL EPIDEMIOLOGIST.
Aren't the most common reason for infant mortality in the first month of life premature birth and lethal genetic conditions, with the latter being more common in small communities where people marry cousins?
No. If we can make a baby represent a reasonable chance of having a healthy adult child instead of a shot in the dark, parents will no longer feel the need to pop out babies in streams in the hope that a couple will survive. Actually, the downside will be that parents will begin to "curate" their children's lives the way parents are doing in the West today.
Your argument is utterly ignorant. Already over 90 % of infants in sub-saharan africa survive. They do not need to pop out children, but they do it anyway, and western medicine is keeping most of them alive. Hundred years ago there were 3 europeans for every one african, but nowadays it's 2 africans for every one european. World is getting overpopulated and the problem is not in the west.
Propose it in public health and you get applause. Propose it in law enforcement and you get riots. Either way profiling boils down to using your limited resources in the most efficient way.
But...post-infant-death mother-interviews is the way they are trying to find out what is killing the babies, and her "alternative approach" starts where that knowledge is already collected... It doesn't make any sense, it just sounds nice.
I believe she gave this speech to provide examples of people saving lives by a targeted public health system. Sure, the idea of helping selected people sounds great! So...why haven't people done it yet? She is reminding us that, "Hey, it is possible!" Here is some proof, now dont forget this can be achieved! Obviously, it has been forgotten that a targeted public health system is important. Otherwise she would have no need to give this speech!
I have a hard time comprehending endless riches for people like Elon musk, Jeff bazos, even the kardashians for that matter, who have endless and endless billions of dollars, but yet there is such poverty in parts of the world like Africa where a new borns death is almost certain because mom has no access to a simple antibiotics. An ear infection, an eye infection, a small cut on the hand that get infected is almost certain death to small children in poverty. It makes me sick when I think about the injustices in this world.
Stop trying to lobby or fix issues for people that are themselves uniterested in solving such issues. Mother not naming a child is supposed to mean something? I would not bring a baby into the world without knowing that I can offer the best there is to them. We are overpopulating this planet and handing our own issues to future generations instead of putting a halt on this. Why?
Because maybe contraceptives and family planning and medical termination of pregnancy are health services which are not universally available to everyone.
...It was a discussion of population health, focussing on womens and infants health. At what point should she have mentioned something completely unrelated?
A male baby isn't a man. ... not socially or politically. I choose my words carefully. I'm not replying to you; I'm replying to your comment. I won't argue with you. You don't understand what I'm saying and I doubt you ever would. I'm replying to your comment for all the other capable people that might read it.
Why do men need to be excluded? Do we have some special, unique biology that makes these ideas not apply to us? There is no need to exclude men; but she does, intentionally. That's misandry. That makes her a bad person. ...and, no. Calling out a hateful person doesn't make me a hateful person.
Where are my public health majors at? You guys will make a difference in this world!
Boy she sent my heart plummeting at the 2 minute mark. Thank you Sue Desmond-Hellmann for putting this data in the context of my humanity.
This woman has inspired me really... A thing so simple yet so ignored. Keep on these good talks ted-ed, you're one of the best RUclips channels.

If you are a public health worker, this video is really inspiring!
what a delivery

She’s a good speaker
I really wish TED would moderate their comments on every video.
Aww, you poor thing, are people hurting your feefees by voicing wrong opinions?
***** People with nothing nice to say are not a problem. People speaking with nothing to say might be.

Criticism is an important tool to better our understanding even if it's criticism from idiots.
It might be worth mentioning that Herceptin costs $4,500 per month or $54,000 per year. Often taken with Perjeta which costs $5,400 per month or $71,000 per year. Together, $115,000.
She said it was expensive...
@walperstyle Regulations exist for patient safety.
@Joe Wilder It's not worth mentioning that because that's your American Healthcare problem.
walperstyle I should also add that you would not see medication sold for pennies if these regulations dropped. NCE research and Clinical Trailing costs loads. Without the prices for medication, pharma reserach would cease to exist.

Good topic.

I like this but... I couldn't help thinking "yeah, the world isn't overpopulated enough, we need to save more babies".
No. If we can make a baby represent a reasonable chance of having a healthy adult child instead of a shot in the dark, parents will no longer feel the need to pop out babies in streams in the hope that a couple will survive.
Actually, the downside will be that parents will begin to "curate" their children's lives the way parents are doing in the West today.
That makes sense, thanks.
My comment wasn't really meant to be serious by the way.
yeah you're correct
Monika 's cool. Your thought was correct, actually -- it just needed some more thought.
Your argument is utterly ignorant. Already over 90 % of infants in sub-saharan africa survive. They do not need to pop out children, but they do it anyway, and western medicine is keeping most of them alive.
Hundred years ago there were 3 europeans for every one african, but nowadays it's 2 africans for every one european. World is getting overpopulated and the problem is not in the west.
I have no idea what she is talking about. Baby names? Cancer? AIDS? Africa? Medications?
Propose it in public health and you get applause. Propose it in law enforcement and you get riots. Either way profiling boils down to using your limited resources in the most efficient way.
Well, it is called Preventive Medicine...

But...post-infant-death mother-interviews is the way they are trying to find out what is killing the babies, and her "alternative approach" starts where that knowledge is already collected... It doesn't make any sense, it just sounds nice.
So... this talk could have been summed up as "try to figure out what the problem is and fix it". I see NOTHING new in this at all.
I was thinking the same thing. I expect more from a TED talk.
I believe she gave this speech to provide examples of people saving lives by a targeted public health system. Sure, the idea of helping selected people sounds great! So...why haven't people done it yet? She is reminding us that, "Hey, it is possible!" Here is some proof, now dont forget this can be achieved! Obviously, it has been forgotten that a targeted public health system is important. Otherwise she would have no need to give this speech!
+true reality there is no meaning but what we make for ourselves.
I have a hard time comprehending endless riches for people like Elon musk, Jeff bazos, even the kardashians for that matter, who have endless and endless billions of dollars, but yet there is such poverty in parts of the world like Africa where a new borns death is almost certain because mom has no access to a simple antibiotics.

Because maybe contraceptives and family planning and medical termination of pregnancy are health services which are not universally available to everyone.
The only aspect of this talk that I felt was extraordinary, was the lengths she went to EXCLUDE men.
blah...
misandric fluff.
...It was a discussion of population health, focussing on womens and infants health. At what point should she have mentioned something completely unrelated?
A male baby isn't a man.
