Koch believes that most health problems arise due to biological problems and therefore can only be cured through advances in medicine. On the other hand, Virchow believed that the main cause of poor health was poverty and biological principles. Both men have fantastic arguments, but to see which one makes more sense in our modern world, we'll have to delve into some real-life examples. We will first look at an article on malaria, which is a scientific work by Packard. Second, we will analyze a video about the new approach to health care in Guatemala. And finally, I will mention a concrete example of the Colorado Haiti project. Looking at these three very different topics, I will conclude whether these regions are on Koch's or Virchow's side. Let's first look at Packard's articles that he wrote on malaria. Packard gave many examples of why and how malaria spread rapidly in certain areas. Prime examples include: “Drought that damaged crops and weakened people's resistance to disease, subsequent floods created conditions conducive to the breeding of local Anopheles mosquitoes, and mass migration of people seeking of food that came back infected with malaria. » Packard, 2). In this example, Packard states that the spread of malaria was the result of three specific actions. The first action was drought, followed later by floods and finally by mass migrations. These three elements had to be at play for malaria to spread in the Archangel region. But the argument remains: who is right in this situation? Koch or Virchow. In the following example, I think Virchow has the upper hand. These people lacked wealth and government development, and because of this, they were affected...... middle of paper ...... by the real-life example of the Colorado Haiti Project, which also has the same perspective like our other examples, Virchow. In conclusion, I would like to say that biology is a very important aspect for the health of nations, but without the structural integrity of populations and governments, disease will always be on the rise.
