Thank you.
Do you think we are paying enough attention to other disease-related factors that aren't directly tied to medicines?
Think about the tuberculosis problem. Other factors can play a role, including overcrowded housing, substandard accommodations up north and a lack of access to quality food, which is often unaffordable. These things can affect a person's immune system.
For instance, diabetes can be treated with insulin, but people with diabetes also have to maintain a healthy lifestyle, which has a huge impact on their health.
Do you think we are paying enough attention to all that? Are we giving people the tools to address other factors so that they derive the maximum benefit from their treatment?
