Resumo: |
The aim of this research was to investigate why, in Brazil, the neglected diseases are still neglected, as well as the reasons for this persistence. Such diseases are malaria, tuberculosis, Chagas disease, lepra, dengue and Leisshimaniosis/ kalazar. Through the literature, it was possible to verify that the persistence of those diseases occurs because of a sequence of flaws in the public and private health system. The development of science and investments is insufficient or even inexistent concerning this. When there is medicine or when there are vaccines for treatment, their prices are extremely high for a great part of the population living in developing countries. Moreover, public services for preventing such diseases and the medicine distribution management are inefficient. The neglected diseases do not call much attention from global pharmaceutical companies; furthermore, developed and developing countries governments do not invest a lot in prevention and treatment of these diseases. Therefore, focusing on medicine demands and vaccines for treatment of the neglected diseases could be a very profitable market for the national pharmaceutical industry. When taking into account the difficulties for research and the volume of money needed for the production of such treatment medicines, it is clear that the partnership between governments and private companies might be a possible solution for this problem |
