The third health care concern I will talk about is another near and dear to me which is the severely low quality health care women in developing countries receive.

  • Essay On Community Services

    It involves the mental, physical, emotional, and medical domains of the individual’s life, but due to the fact that many of these services are publicly funded, gaps exist.  Cox (2007) reported that “community resources were generally perceived as inadequate.  None of our participants had ready access to social workers in the office, so arranging home health care, adult day care, and other community services added to the difficulty of primary care” (p. 82).  Not only are the services and programs inadequate, recent economic dilemmas and ‘recession’ has reduced public spending to meager allowances.  Another sore problem is Medicare and general health care programs for the less wealthy. This was the sentiment echoed by one physician interviewed:  “If you told me I had to run this place on the basis of what I get from Medicare, I would have to tell you I couldn’t do it, which is kind of sad, because they claim that they’re bankrupt and everything. Where in the hell are they spending their money?  They sure ain’t giving it to

  • The Pros and Cons of Health Screening

    2309 Words  | 5 Pages

    Health screening, according to Durojaiye, (2009), is a systematic application of a test or inquiry to identify individuals at risk of a specific health problem. This enables further investigation or direct preventive action, among individuals who have not sought medical attention on account of their symptoms of that problem. Screening is different to diagnosis as it is performed on people without symptoms; it does not provide a diagnosis but rather identifies individuals at increased risk for follow-up diagnostic testing. Therefore, the main aim of screening program is to detect disease or risk factors among the general population, in order to carry out preventive or therapeutic intervention because the highest benefit one can derive from a specific treatment is when the disease is less advanced (Trevena, 2009).
