A member asked:

What are the three most critical global health issues you would address as us doctors if you had time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Several: I would address disease with a potential for total elimination which would be viral illnesses affecting only humans (that is why smallpox was eliminated), and conditions from nutritional deprivation such as vitamin a defriciency and finally social issues affecting health such as education of women in the third world.
