It is not enough to live, better to live, and to improve the quality of life and to improve the quality of life, and to manage the financial impact of this aging to health systems. In terms of this situation, the highlight goes to the prevention, and successful income has already been confirmed at all levels: when the effects of the disease are prevented, its treatment avoids the costs.
Herpes Joster, also known as the Zone, explains this problem correctly. In childhood, the virus, caused by the chicken box, reappears after decades, affects one of the three people over the age of 50 and has a special impact on any age of any age with diseases that affect the immune system. With an impact that can cause disaster: besides a specific rash, it may begin pain, which can last for several months and many years, or vision, cardiovascular and cerebral phenomena and problems admitted to hospital.
With economic impacts, the path of anxiety that does not go around. When many studies confirm, they are significant and straightforward to health systems, and they have significant costs in the treatment of only signs, but without the cause, but during the work and productivity days to the patient and his caregiver, weakening.
The data we have, as we refer to national reality, exposes the dangerous dimension of this problem: between July 2023 and June 2024, the need for health care, with 62,985 adults, a disease, its annual expenditure reaches 10.2 million euros, which (7.2 million euros) and the national economy (2.4 million) and the national economy.
The most dissatisfaction here is that there is a barrier for the vaccine, which has been scientifically proven – a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine has confirmed that vaccination to the elderly is 97% effective in reducing the risk of disease. Considering this source, it is logical to assume that the issue is a fearlessness. But reality shows that this is not in Portugal, where there will be vaccine, but only for some, which creates imbalance in access to preventing the basic principles of our health system.
This is because in many European countries that have been part of this vaccine in its national immunization program, they repay them to acquisition, here or nothing else, which indicates a barrier to most citizens. There, more direct costs of the vaccine are only accessible to the economically preferred minorities.
In the name of saving resources for the state, the right to prevention is blocked, and this is… the higher costs. A conflict that indicates failure in public health care. We save tomorrow to spend more high -speed, which is a calculation that does not oppose the most basic economic or humanitarian study.
