It is often said that everybody always desire to have a healthier life and a better healthcare system. I would agree with this, but it is debatable whether governments should depend on medical technology or health education.
Perhaps the strongest reason for investing medical technology is that many dangerous diseases can now be treatable thanks to medical advances. A recent research have shown that cancer cells can be killed off by a new medicine that have an extract found in the bright yellow curry spice turmetic. Another advantage to adopt this idea is that improvement in medical technology will translate into a better healthcare treatment. And as a result, this also help to develop medical technology in the sense that we can find more and more effect medicines, machines, and new treatment methods.
There are, however, equally strong arguement against investing in medical technology. One such arguement is that some infectious such as HIV-AIDS are still incurable by modern medicine. However, if people can understand what this disease and its prevention really is, it can be preventable. For example, in areas where an educational program on healthcare has been launched there is often a lower rate of disease despite the unavailability of modern medical facilities. Another related arguement is that, if these technologies are widely used, this will create an economic burden for governments. This is because they must pay an enormous number of money for these machines. Therefore, this is impractical for deprived areas in comparison to a health education program which is less costly and even have an equal amount of effect.
In the end, to my mind, whether governments should adopt the idea spending on medical technology or not depend in large part on their economic facilities.
