So I have this disease... now what?
How do people find out about African sleeping sickness?
How has the number of infections changed over the past century?
Where does my money go?
With a starting budget of a mere $5,000,000.00 we decided to break down our money in the following fashion over the course of two years:
$2,342,400.00 for Education
- 175 workers each get $2700.00/year x 2 = $945,000.00
- 7 managers each get $3500.00/year x 2= $49,000.00
- 14 secretaries each get $1800.00/year x 2 = $50,400.00
- 4 Medical Doctors each get $10,000.00/year x 2 = $80,000.00
- Office Space $1000/month x 7 offices x 24 months = $168,000.00
- Miscellaneous Resources for office supplies etc 7x$75,000.00x2 = $1,050,000.00
- GRAND TOTAL OF: $2,342,400.00
$1,500,000 for treatment and vaccine development
- $1,500,000 for treatment
- $,1000,000.00/$300= 3333.33 persons treated with Eflorinthine in the late stage.
- $300,000.00 goes for early stage treatment drugs consisting of Pentamidine (Tbg) and Suramin (Tbr) and future development of those drugs
- $200,000.00 goes towards developing a vaccine
- GRAND TOTAL OF: $1,500,000.00
$1,157,600.00 for Proper Screening methods
- $800,000.00 goes towards screening now
- $357,000.00 further research into finding a new cheaper and effective method of screening
- GRAND TOTAL OF: $1,157,600.00
Since this project is a two year program, we want to treat the most infected individuals as possible. Therefore there will be a lower amount of infected individuals therefore at the end of the two years, hopefully there will be a lower amount of infected individuals. Then after the two years has expired more time and effort can be put towards screening to prevent further infection.
