Recently there has been a rise in the rates of heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Where these diseases became accounted for 31% of total numbers of death and increased spread of diabetes in the UAE to more than 20% also, the heart disease ranked the second reason of death (Boos Allen Hamilton, n.d). This is due to the lifestyle in the UAE society. Although the life is consistently changing, but the amount of food and volume that effort a person does a day not change too much. Also the spread of the bad health habits such as smoking is a reason for one types of cancer. In fact every smoker known that the cigarettes may causes lung cancer and some companies wrote this information in the cigarettes packs but they didn’t leave smoking. So, this is due to poor health habits for people. Development increased opportunities for the spread of these diseases rather than decline.
The population in the UAE is constantly increasing so, more people less doctors and need for more hospitals. The current population are 8 454 167 person at this moment (countrymeters.info). The country needs more hospitals and doctors to being enough for this numbers of population. In fact, the government tries to graduate a big number of doctors because with the development the population are increasing and increasing. As we saw in our college in 2013 there ar...

Healthcare is one of the main pillars of development that hold a country in great position. The aim of every healthcare organization is to provide quality medical care to all human beings right from infants to old generation (Koutsogeorgou, 2014). Usually, this is achieved by having adequate medicine, competent and enough medical staffs, sufficient medical centers or hospitals as well as efficient and effective medical equipment. Besides, the government also plays a vital role in ensuring that every citizen gets the best medical care as a means of reducing high mortality rates that affect their people. However, many of these health facilities face many challenges and instead of keeping death rates low, the reverse happens. Lately, hospitals in Venezuela have been underperforming, and this has been characterized by increased infant mortality as well as lack of medicine in those hospitals, a factor that has contributed much to the current crisis facing the country. Based on the background mentioned above, the purpose of this paper is to evaluate what has contributed to the crisis, how is has happened, and the possible recommendation or course of action that can be undertaken to correct the situation.
Humans are mortal beings, therefore with life comes death; this is a certainty. What is not so certain is the quality of life which one will lead thereto; and the variances they will face in life which will underwrite a person’s health. Health, which can be measured, regulates the quality and longevity of people’s lives. People have long since philosophised that it is “luck of the draw” as to who are inflicted with illness or disease. In fact, through research and consensus reports, analysis has concluded that social, economic and environmental influences are contributing factors. This essay will explore some of the main issues regarding health and consequences of lifestyle choices. Furthermore, recognition and critique will be focused on the principal reports and recommendations therein regarding health inequalities.

During the last 3 years of my education when I started my clinical practice in hospitals and clinics, and especially now after my short experience as an intern doctor, I came to understand that it’s not that easy to have an effect on the health of the patients, especially in a low income country like Palestine.
In today’s fast paced era, health care is a continuous process, in which medical demands as well as needs are progressively getting challenging therefore accessibility to a good health care system is necessary in order to provide major improvements in the quality of care.

One of the most topical subjects regarding the UAE concerns the cost of living. The Economist Intelligence Unit placed Dubai and Abu Dhabi as the 71st and 82nd most expensive cities in the world to live and Mercer HR Consulting placed them at 25th and 30th respectively. The cost of living in Dubai has increased rapidly, and the same is occurring in Abu Dhabi more recently. The cost of living is sure to increase over the coming years, most probably due to accommodation. While rent, on its own, should account for at least 50% of your cost of living (though official cpi figures place it at between 30% and 40%), we felt it important to look at other goods and services available. We have thus put together a spreadsheet of data so that you are able to calculate your own cost of living, should you come to the UAE.
