He Kairangahau o mua mō te Commonwealth (ngā akoranga PhD), he Kairangahau Erasmus Mundus, Commonwealth Fellow He hoa hoki ia nō te African Postdoctoral Training Initiative, ā, kua whakawhiwhia a Tākuta Chukwudi ki ētahi tohu me ngā honore hei whakamihi i tōna hiranga ki te rangahau.
Hei wāhanga o te Kaupapa Pūnaha Pūtaiao Futures, e whai ana te ISC ki te hōhonu ake i tō tātou māramatanga ki te āhua o te whakarerekētanga a ngā hangarau hou i te mahi me te whakaritenga o te pūtaiao ā-ao. I karangatia ētahi kaituhi kua tohua mai i te hapori ISC ki te whakaaroaro ki ngā pānga puta noa i ngā momo mara pūtaiao.
Ko te Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), e mōhiotia whānuitia ana ko te "moe moe," kua ngaro i ngā pūrongo hauora o te ao mō ngā tau neke atu. Nā ngā pirinoa i horahia mā roto i ngā ngau a te ngārara tsetse, he mate pea mēnā kāore e rongoatia. Heoi, kāore tōna ngaronga mai i ngā tuhinga mana e whakaatu ana i te hekenga tūturu. Kei te kite tonu ngā kairangahau ā-rohe puta noa i Āwherika i tōna pānga, ahakoa he iti noa te mōhiotanga whaimana.
Ko te HAT tētahi o ngā mate pārūrū maha kua warewarehia (NTD) e pā kino ana ki ngā taupori rawakore. He onge te tātaritanga ōkawa o ngā tūroro, te whakarato rānei i te maimoatanga tika, ā, kāore i te tino aroturukitia te horapa o te mate. Ko te kore o ngā kēhi kua pūrongohia he angitu te tikanga, ā, e ahua nei ka taea te whakatutuki i ngā whāinga whakakore. Ko te mea pono, ehara i te mea ko ngā mate e ngaro ana, engari ko ngā pūnaha i hangaia hei kimi me te urupare ki aua mate e ngoikore tonu ana. Ko te taunakitanga tonu o te aroaro o te mate e kiia ana he mea rerekē, ā, e whakaroa ana ngā kairangahau ki te pūrongo i ngā kitenga rerekē.
Ko te mārama ki te whānuitanga o ngā NTD ehara i te mea nui ki te kaha pūtaiao o te Ao Tonga engari ki te rite ki ngā kaupapa here. He maha ngā kairangahau pūkenga me ngā kaha hangarau e tipu haere ana. Ka taea e ngā taputapu hou te whakarerekē i ngā oranga o te miriona mā te whakapai ake i ngā putanga hauora me te whakaputa i te whanaketanga pāpori me te ōhanga whānui. Heoi, ki te kore he kaupapa here whakahohe, ka noho tonu ēnei hangarau whakarerekētanga kāore i te tino whakamahia, kāore e taea te uru atu, kāore rānei e pumau.
Ko ngā kaupapa here hauora o te ao kua whakatakotoria i te taumata o te ao e whakatau ana i ngā whakataunga putea, ngā paerewa, me te urunga atu ki te tiaki hauora. Heoi, he puhoi te whakatakoto kaupapa here, e hiahia ana ki te tino māramatanga pūtaiao, te whakaae tōrangapū, me te whakapau kaha pūtea tonu. Tae atu ki te whakarite i ngā kaupapa here a te World Health Organization mahere mō ngā mate pārūrū kua warewarehia 2021-2030 he maha ngā tau i pau ki te whiriwhiri, ā, kei te tū tonu ngā arai nui ki te whakatinanatanga. Heoi anō, he maha ngā kaupapa here hauora o te ao i whakawhanakehia mō ngā horopaki hangarau o mua, ā, kei te pakari tonu te whakatinanatanga.
Heoi anō, ko te whakatau mō te whakaaetanga me te tohatoha hangarau mō te maha o ngā NTD kei te noho pūmau tonu i te taumata o te ao, me te iti o te whakauru ā-motu. He maha ngā taiwhanga tohutoro o te ao e pupuri ana i te mana whakaū, e whakaaro ana ki ngā raraunga i hangaia ā-rohe he mea wā poto ahakoa te kaha o te tikanga. He maha ngā wā kāore i te whai mana ngā kaipūtaiao i roto i ngā umanga o te Ao ki te Tonga ki te mahi i runga i ngā taunakitanga hou, e whakararu ana i te urupare me te whakahaere wawe i ngā mate. Ka whakatairanga te paerewa i te ōritetanga, ā, he maha ngā wā ka whakamahia e ngā whenua ngā anga ā-ao ki roto i ngā kaupapa here ā-motu. Heoi anō, ko te pūmau nui rawa o te whakahaere ka whakawhāiti i te ngāwari ina rerekē ngā āhuatanga o te rohe.
Hei tāpiri atu ki tēnā, he mahi nui tā te pūtea ā-waho i roto i ngā pūnaha hauora puta noa i te Ao ki te Tonga. Ahakoa ka taea e te tautoko a ngā kaituku te whakawhānui ake i te urunga atu ki ngā tātaritanga me ngā maimoatanga, he maha ngā wā ka whakaatahia e ngā kaupapa here ngā kaupapa a ngā kaituku kaua ki ngā hiahia ā-motu. He maha ngā wā ka whakaurua ngā hangarau mā roto i ngā kaupapa whakamātautau wā poto me te kore he mahere mō te whakanui ake, te mana whakahaere ā-rohe rānei. He onge te whakauru atu ki roto i ngā pūnaha hauora o nāianei, ka puta he arai tari me ngā wero whakahaere. Ina herea ngā kaupapa here ki te haumi a ngā kaituku, he onge te whakahou ina puta mai ngā hangarau whai hua ake. Ko te whakawhirinaki tonu ki ngā tikanga tātaritanga tawhito pērā i te trypanolysis hei whakaū i te HAT, ahakoa ngā whanaketanga o ngā tātaritanga ngota, e whakaatu ana i tēnei raruraru.
Ko ngā hangarau pēnei i te ira tangata, ngā taputapu hauora matihiko, ngā tātaritanga matatau, me te mātauranga horihori kei te whakarerekē i te hauora puta noa i te ao, e whakateretere ana i te kimi, e whakapai ake ana i te tātaritanga, ā, e āhei ana i te whakatau me te whakahaere e ahu mai ana i ngā raraunga. Heoi, puta noa i te nuinga o te Tonga o te Ao, he puhoi tonu te whakamahinga, he koretake tonu. Ahakoa ka taea e ngā taputapu hou te whakaatu i te tuku huna me te wero i ngā whakapae o mua, kei te noho tonu te kore hononga i waenga i te kitenga pūtaiao me ngā urupare hauora tūmatanui whai tikanga, whai hua.
Ahakoa he iti noa te pūtea, te iti rānei o ngā hanganga e whai wāhi ana ki tēnei āputa, nga aukati kaupapa here He nui ake te mahi a ngā kaupapa here. Mā ngā kaupapa here e whakatau ko ēhea ngā hangarau e whakatairangatia ana, me pēhea te whakahaere, me te pupuri tonu rānei. He maha ngā anga kaupapa here e ahu mai ana i ngā paerewa tawhito me ngā tauira tirotiro mate e uaua ana ki te whakauru i ngā auahatanga. Nō reira, ka whakahaerehia ngā hangarau hou i roto i ngā rohe hina ture, ka ārai i te haumi me te whānui o te whakamahinga.
Kia mau tonu ai te auahatanga, me urutau ake ngā anga kaupapa here. Mā ngā tikanga arotake kaupapa here auau me ngā pūnaha whakahaere kaupapa here ngāwari ka taea e ngā kairangahau me ngā tohunga hauora te whakauru i ngā hangarau whakapai ake.
Me whakauru hoki te ōritetanga puta noa i ngā taumata katoa o te pūnaha hauora. Engari i te whakaaro ka horapa noa ngā hangarau, me whakatenatena ngā kaupapa here i te urunga whānui ki ngā taiao tuawhenua me ngā taiao kāore i te rawaka ngā rauemi, kaua ko ngā umanga rangatira anake. He rite tonu te hiranga o te whakaurunga o ngā hangarau hou ki roto i ngā pūnaha hauora o nāianei, kaua e whakawhirinaki ki poutū kaupapaMe hono ngā rautaki mārama i te whakamahinga hangarau ki te whakangungu kaimahi, te pūtea pumau, te whakawhanaketanga hanganga me te tiaki mō te wā roa.
Ko ngā whakaroa ki te whakatutuki i ngā taumata o te ao mō te whakatau i ngā mate urutā ka whakararu i te ahunga whakamua ki te Ngā Whāinga Whakawhanake Whakawhanake ā, ka roa ake te mamae i roto i ngā hapori e pāngia ana. Hei whakamutunga, ko te iti o te whakamahinga o ngā hangarau hou i roto i ngā pūnaha hauora i te Tonga o te Ao ehara i te mea he take pūtaiao engari he take kaupapa here, he pānga tēnei ki te māramatanga o te rangahau, ki ngā kaupapa matua o ngā umanga, me te whakawhirinaki o te marea ki ngā pūnaha hauora.
He mea nui ngā kaupapa here arotau, e aro ana ki te ōritetanga, hei whakatuwhera i te mana whakarerekē o te auahatanga. I te taumata o te ao, mā te whakataurite i ngā whāinga whakakore ki ngā āhuatanga o te rohe me ngā ara rangahau whānui ka taea te huri i ngā inenga hei inenga pono mō te ahunga whakamua. Mā te whirihora anō i ngā anga kaupapa here, ka taea e ngā kairangahau ā-rohe, ngā kāwanatanga me ngā hoa hauora o te ao te mahi tahi ki te whakarite kia whakapakarihia e ngā hangarau hou ngā pūnaha hauora, kia whakaitihia ngā kore taurite, kia whai wāhi atu hoki ki te whanaketanga pumau.
