It is found in human nature the need to improve to seek comport, success and happiness in life by all means necessary. The modern world has come long ways away from times of human suffering. Life for most people keeps getting more comfortable, content and, full of opportunities. Whoever there are some people around the world that are still suffering from nonsensical violence, lack of healthcare, and epidemics. It is with this concern for the suffering lives of people that the Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) also known as in English, Doctors without borders was created. The MSF is an independent global movement which stand to protect and provide help to those in need. Doctors Without Borders is a disaster response charity which specialises in …show more content…

The MSF is a humanitarian organization which consists of thousands of employees who have dedicated their lives for this humanitarian cause. Almost everyone who works for the MSF is dedicated towards helping unfortunate humans around the world.

This opportunity both provides experience of working with patients with diverse background as well as prepares the MSF employees to work in intensive, and demanding situations. Thus, working for the MSF provides employees great opportunities to travel the world and gain experience all the while being of service to people all around the
The proliferation of crises around the world has led to a prominent increase in the amount of humanitarian aid needed. Humanitarian aid work represents not only compassion, but commitment to support innocent populations that have experienced sudden or on-going tragedies. Some of these tragedies include: malnutrition, genocide, diseases, torture, poverty, war, natural disasters, government negligence, and unfortunately much more. There is no doubt that these tragedies are some of the world’s toughest problems to solve as they are often complex, multifaceted and require diligence and patience. For this reason, being a humanitarian aid worker is more than a profession, it is a lifestyle that requires a sharp distinction between one’s work and
Third world countries and underdeveloped nations have become the new proverbial Petri dish of experimentation and offer particular conditions which researchers would never be able to find in their home countries. This only serves to highlight the problem that inherently faces all research studies, the ethical debate in regards to the protection and rights of their subjects. Is it feasible to expect the same standards to apply in certain countries where an economical imbalance between what is possible and what is not can be the largest hurdle to overcome? These are key issues examined in the New England Journal of Medicine by author Marcia Angell, M.D., and co-authors Harold Varmus, M.D. and David Satcher, M.D. in their respective articles that consider the ethical standards that should prevail in such circumstances. Should researchers be upheld to universal standards, or are the standards more applicable in a “local” sense, where the conditions and the constraints of the location provide the context for how the principles should be applied?

Doctors Without Borders work in war zones, places where natural disasters have occurred, where populations have displaced or where hunger and epidemics have increased. Specifically, they work in 80 countries worldwide, in Europe, Africa, and in America (particularly in South America). They choose these places because that is where their help is particularly needed, so their action is not biased in any kind of way. The MSF is prompt to answer to any emergency around the world – it takes about 48 hours or less to reach the country in which they are needed (the trip will depend on the distance and the weather), and the medical machineries will get to the country in about 72 hours. Astutely, every MSF is provided with a pre-packed disaster kit,
This paper will discuss the dynamics of the American Red Cross case and how it affected the ability to provide adequate emergency response to catastrophic events. Over 10 years, the American Red Cross has been implementing strategies to ensure that the organization is better equipped when dealing with disasters. Not only has the American Red Cross has been faced with so much negativity, the organization is fighting very hard to change the concepts of how the organization can rebound from such criticism.
...that can be conducted by other qualified professionals which will provide them with more time to devote to patient care. This use of HIM professionals in the UM process establishes a new area that organizations can capitalize on to improve the patient care.
“If you look at the human condition today, not everyone is well fed, has access to good medical care, or the physical basics that provide for a healthy and a happy life.” This quote by Ralph Merkle shows that something so easily taken for granted is healthcare. Most of us wouldn’t even think about it as a privilege, something that has just always been there and always will. In America, we would never even imagine not being able to receive medical care in our times of need, in other countries that is not at all the case. Many will die from easily preventable and treatable diseases because they do not have medical care. The charity Doctors of the World is committed to helping those who do not have easy access to medical care

And priorities that you have to deal with. For instants your time you have to adjust your schedule.
Learning about social workers and their required tasks, has made me realize how hard it would be to listen to peoples’ traumatic experiences and not feel completely overwhelmed. However, in the end, the work would be worth the anguish because of the complete satisfaction of helping to save peoples’ lives. Despite all of the violence and hatred that goes on, there are people, like social workers, who are there to make the difference the world needs.

The main purpose of her position is to help children and families with hospitalization, diagnosis, illnesses, and injuries. She stated that she works in the clinic so she sees patients and families from diagnosis or first visits to multiple return visits. She says she builds solid relationships with the children and their families. “It is most rewarding when I’ve spent time with an anxious child and done “everything” (diagnosis, teaching, medical play, procedure education, and support) and slowly see the change from a child not coping well at all, to coping well with support and slowly not needing me at all; it’s a little sad when they tell me they don’t need me to be present, but I know then that I have done my job because they’ve learned the skills to go through a procedure independently” (Tiller, telephone interview, December 8, 2016). Ms. Tiller stated that one of the challenges is that this is a
As social workers, we can understand that where we live and what has been instilled in our life has shaped the person we are today. Having a global perspective will help those social workers that want to work one on one with individuals to understand that not everyone has had the same experiences solely on the fact that an individual lives in the United States. As social workers, having a greater knowledge of the world, its people and cultures, an awareness of basic human rights that apply to everyone can enhance empathy and provoke a desire to take action on behalf of oppressed and victimized people everywhere (Hawkins,
