HEALTHCARE CONCERNS
Paper Outline
United States
Paragraph 1
There are approximately 2000 cases that are reported each year in the US. The majority of
malaria patients are travelers from malaria-prone regions (Walz et al., 2019).
Paragraph 2
Another health concern that affects US citizens is food distribution problems due to drought and
insufficient water for farming. Climate change contributes to drought globally. An increase in
temperatures leads to low crop growth.
Paragraph 3
To curb the impacts of insufficient food in the US, the government advocates for environmental
conservation (Walz et al., 2019).
Netherland
Paragraph 1
Similar to the US, Netherland malaria cases are found in individuals with traveling history in
endemic areas.
Paragraph 2
The Dutch community in Netherland has high food insecurity cases attributed to climate change,
such as lack of water in the districts (De Gier et al., 2017).
Paragraph 3
Surveillance for malaria infection is utilized to monitor the infection's spread (De Gier et al.,
2017).
Nigeria

HEALTHCARE CONCERNS
Paragraph 1
The number of malaria infections per year is approximately 100 million, with a death toll of
300,000 (Sabina, 2017).
Paragraph 2
Agriculture is also affected by regular oil spillage from industries, drought, as well as flooding
(Sabina, 2017).
Paragraph 3
The prevention programs distribute Long Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINS) to the residences
highly affected by the infections (Sabina, 2017).
Health Promotion
Nurses can encourage communities to use clean energy such as solar, which has fewer impacts
on the environment.
