Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Medicine - Public Health,
grade: 2, University of Aberdeen (College of Life Sciences and Medicine),
language: English, abstract: The WHO Constitution enshrines the highest
attainable standard of health as a fundamental right of every human being. The
right to health includes access to timely, acceptable and affordable
healthcare of appropriate quality (WHO, 2013). However, billions of people
especially in developing countries lack any Healthcare services for various
reasons. The vibrant challenges countries face hinders the supply of
healthcare that is terribly necessary for rural population of poor countries.
Consequently, the 'health capital' of poorest of the poors is dire. Most of
the developing countries lie in tropical areas, between the tropic of cancer
and the tropic of capricorn. These areas are prone to diseases. So, developing
countries also face the lion's share of the burden of diseases and at the same
time lack the financial means to tackle the problem. This article highlights
several issues connected to these challenges.
Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Sociology - Medical Care,
grade: 1,0, University of Aberdeen (College of Life Sciences and Medicine),
language: English, abstract: Scarcity of Healthcare professionals especially
Doctors and Nurses is a worldwide phenomenon. On one hand demographic factors
like population growth is bringing problems with it for example the demand of
more healthcare, on the other hand the ageing population also comes up with
age related diseases like Alzheimer's and Dementia. If Health Technology fails
to develop further, it is obvious that we will have to face difficult
challenges in the future. To meet the demand of more healthcare professionals,
countries like the UK are very dependent on foreign countries that supply such
people, like nurses from some East Asian countries. The scarcity of Healthcare
Professionals is also a big problem for developing countries. Population
growth and ageing not only generates the scarcity of health professionals but
also brings the need to expand health infrastructures. For example, the
healthcare institutions and health workforce that exist today were designed
when the size of population was lower. So, today with higher growth of
population, the expansion of health-infrastructures as well as health
personnel is vital to meet the demand and to maintain the quality of
healthcare.
