Question

The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis was revolutionary in the way it raised money for charity. Even though there are many other potentially threatening diseases, describe how the Foundation was able to be a powerful source for its cause. Does the concept of “philanthropy as consumerism” belong in the field of public health? Why or why not? (I would prefer an answer in one page or two, types not written on paper because I can't understand some som hand writers, more than one answer is also welcomed, thank you).

Answer 1

Poliomyletis is a disease which affects the motor function of the body causing paralysis of limbs (upper limb and lower limb) National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis which was later renamed as March of Dimes Foundation.The organization was founded by President Franklin D. Rooselet in 1938, to combat Polio. He is an adult victim of polio.

It helps to improve the helth of mother nd babies by preventing birth defects.premature birth and infant mortality.

A fund raising campaing for this was done through radio. Eddie coined the term "The March of Dimes". This provided money for the development of two effective vaccines

Philanthrrophy as consumerism in public health is very im[ortant. Because the money raised by the organization as to be used in the right way, rather spending it for no reasons.Here the people are more involved in their health for making decisions of their own.Experts believe that consumerism is more prevalent now
