Investment in primary health care urgently needed to ensure COVID-19 recovery in the
Americas.
Increased public health spending must continue to improve hardest-hit primary care services such as
routine immunization programs, says PAHO Director.
Washington, DC, November 10, 2021 (PAHO) – With countries in the Americas reporting severe
disruptions in essential primary health care services, urgent investment is key to improving health
systems continuously weakened by the pandemic, said Pan American Health Organization (PAHO)
Director Carissa F. Etienne.
With cases rising in some parts of the region following a two-month decline, it is vital that countries
remain vigilant and prioritize public spending in heath so that no one is left behind.
“Few countries invest as much public spending in their health services as they should, leaving them
prone to shortages in health personnel and essential supplies.”
With the pandemic siphoning off financial and human resources, many countries have reported
interruptions in vital areas, such as routine immunization programs, support for chronic conditions
and mental- and reproductive health services.
Despite these disruptions, public investment in health has risen in many countries to ramp up ICU
capacity, increase hospital services, and deploy COVID-19 vaccines. But these increases cannot be a
short-term trend, the Director said.
All countries should increase public expenditures in their health systems to the recommended 6% of
national GDP or higher and should ensure that 30% of this funding goes to first level care.
“Primary care, as you have heard us say over and over again, is the backbone of our health systems,”
Dr. Etienne said, and more important than ever. “It’s at the primary care level that COVID testing,
contact tracking and tracing and immunizations take place.”
As economies remain strained, countries face difficult choices about how to spend limited funds. “We
cannot forget that health is an investment, not an expense,” the Director said. “As we learned with
COVID-19, health is at the core of vibrant societies. It keeps people working, kids in schools,
companies productive and economies growing.”
Turning to the COVID-19 situation in the region, Dr. Etienne said that in the past week countries
reported 700,000 new COVID infections and 13,000 deaths.
Several countries, including parts of Colombia and Bolivia and the Southern Cone countries, are
seeing upward trends after relaxing public health measures.
In the Caribbean, Cuba, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico have reported a drop in new infections while cases
are rising in the Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados. High numbers of cases are
also being seen in the Cayman Islands and Dominica.
Vaccination rates, however, continue to pick up pace, reaching an overall coverage of 48% in Latin
America and the Caribbean.
PAHO continues to work with manufacturers to secure additional doses, the Director added. The
organization has signed supply agreements with three manufacturers of WHO Emergency Use Listing
(EUL) vaccines and is in final negotiations with a fourth supplier of mRNA vaccines.

The history of language study illustrates widely divergent
attitudes concerning the relationship between writing and speech.
Written language was the medium of literature, and, thus, a
source of standards of linguistic excellence. It was felt to provide
language with permanence and authority. The rules of grammar
were, accordingly, illustrated exclusively from written texts.
The everyday spoken language, by contrast, was ignored
or condemned as an object unworthy of study, demonstrating
only lack of care and organization. It was said to have no rules,
and speakers were left under the illusion that, in order to “speak
properly”, it was necessary to follow the “correct” norms, as laid
down in the recognized grammar books and manuals of written
style.
There was sporadic criticism of this viewpoint throughout
the 19th century, but it was not until the 20th century that an
alternative approach became widespread. This approach pointed
out that speech is many thousands of years older than writing;
that it develops naturally in children (whereas writing has to be
artificially taught); and that writing systems are derivative —
mostly based on sounds of speech.

TEXT I
The time to embrace change in education is right now! In fact, it’s long overdue.
Did you know that the model for modern-day public education was created by the
need for on-time mechanical workers during the industrial revolution? That was
certainly a technological disruption, but it happened 250 years ago. It’s what we
call the front-lead method, and it’s not the best model for addressing the learning
needs of many students: divergent thinkers, neurodiverse minds, creatives,
scientists, and the list goes on. Which brings us to our next point: it’s time for the
next wave of disruption. Luckily for us, it’s here. And it’s been here since 1989,
when Tim Berners-Lee — a British scientist from CERT — invented the World
Wide Web. We know, you use the internet every day, and it’s great, but maybe
you’re skeptical that it can revolutionize education. Well, if you didn’t know, it
already is. A large body of evidence-based, peer reviewed work points to the web
as one of the central hubs for positive educational change today. It’s our
connection to others, our access to a world of educational resources, it’s a format
that works for many learners, it’s at the heart of countless services (that don’t work
in an unconnected world), and it’s driving access to education.

The fair trade movement, which aims
ensure that fair prices are paid to producers in
developing countries, is one of the true global success
stories recent decades. The International
Fairtrade Certification Mark, a guarantee that producers are getting a fair price, has become one of the
most recognizable logos the world, which
91 percent of customers associate positive
values. When the logo first appeared in the UK, the
country where the largest number of fair-trade products are sold, nobody expected that the number of
certified products would grow from only 3 to over
4,500 in just 18 years. In 2011, people around the
world spent more than 6.5 billion US dollars on fair-
-trade certified goods, signifying a 12 percent increase
in sales from the previous year. This was at a time
when most market segments in the developed world
were still shrinking or stagnating from the after effects
of the 2008 banking crisis. Over 1.2 million farmers
and workers living in 66 countries benefit from fair-
-trade certification by being able to sell their products
at competitive prices, to ensure sustainability.
Fair-trade initiatives have been growing steadily since the late 1960s, when the fair trade
movement started with only a handful of committed
individuals in the West who believed there was an
alternative to the exploitation of farmers and workers
in the developing world. Fair trade ensures fair prices
for suppliers, as well as payment of a premium that
can be reinvested in the local communities (for example, in schools or sanitation) or in improving productivity. In India, for instance, a group of rice farmers used
the premium to buy farm machinery, which meant a
30 percent improvement in production.
As consumers look for, and recognize, the logo
and purchase fair-trade products, they put
pressure on companies and governments to do more
for global welfare. They also put pressure on supermarkets to sell fair-trade goods at the same price as
conventional products, shifting the extra costs involved from consumers to the corporations that collect
the profits.
Critics of the fair trade movement say it is still
not doing enough. They stress that the key to
long-term development is not in small local improvements, but in moving the developing world from
the production of raw materials into processing them,
which can bring in greater profit. There are already some signs of this happening. A group of tea growers
in Kenya recently set up a processing factory to deliver the final products directly to their customers in
the West. By switching from the export of raw tea to
boxed fair-trade products, they achieved 500 percent
higher profits.
It is important to realize that, despite all of its
benefits, the fair trade movement has its limitations. Some of the poorest farmers can’t afford to pay
the certification fees required for each fair-trade initiative, while others work for big, multinational employers that are excluded from participating. Fair trade is
certainly a step in the right direction, but there is a lot
more we must continue to do in order to help people
in the world’s poorest regions.
