    Social Determinants Of Health Inequality

    Health inequities and disparities exist in many portions of the world. Even in America, citizens are not always cleared of health disparities that an individual in a developing country might face. Various factors tie into how people experience health, especially social and economical determinants. Not only do these injustices exist across countries, they are prevalent within countries as well. Health inequities commonly exist amongst poor individuals, who are have little social capital, and are living in rural areas (Skolnik, 2012).…

    A Critical Analysis of Advanced Professional Practice Roles in Changing Health Services

    There has been a growing concern that health sector needs a huge attention today, not only from government, citizen, but also from many discipline of health care practices. In the recent year, in the United States which is a superpower country, the delivery of human services is still to be a constant puzzle for policy makers, practitioners, and academics (Mayhew, 2012). Health care delivery (including preventive and supportive care) in this country is challenged by demands of access, safety, quality, and cost (Giberson, et. al., 2011). Even though, many years before, these health care issues has been arised as Wilson D.E. stated that the year 1994 was one of great health care non-reform, although national legislation was enacted, states began to seek ways to deal seriously with the issues, primarily the cost, but also the quality of care (Institute of Medicine 25th Anniversary Symposium, 1996). The same thing is happened in the developing country, even worse. Such as in Indonesia, despite solid economic growth in recent years that has raised millions from poverty, Indonesia faces numerous healthcare challenges, from maternal mortality to vector-borne diseases such as malaria to malnutrition, and degenerative diseases associated with a population that is both ageing and living an increasingly sedentary lifestyle. (The Economist Intelligence Unit, 2010). Besides that, most of population in this country lives in rural areas making the delivery of health care services difficult, a system of community health centres is being developed in response to the needs of the rural community (Jacobalis S., 1989). This means that health care matter is still unresolved.…

    A Case for Focussing on Mnch Efforts for the Urban Poor in India

    A case for focussing on MNCH efforts for the urban Poor in India. Siddharth Agarwal Growing urbanization in India, as elsewhere, is rapidly increasing the urban poor population. As per the Census in 2001, 27.8 percent of the country’s population, comprising 285.4 million, people lived in urban areas. Projections estimate the number at about 335 million in 20081. It is expected that by the year 2030, more than half (55 percent) of the country’s population will live in cities (UNFPA, 2007 State of World Population, Unleashing the Potential of Urban Growth. www.unfpa.org/swp. ). Growing urbanization in India has led to an increase in the share of poverty in urban areas and the urban poor are the fastest growing segment of the Indian population, with migration, expansion of city limits and natural growth expected to increase from an estimated 802 - 1003 million in 2005 to 202 million in less than 15 years.4 (UN-HABITAT, 20062007. State of the World’s Cities Report, London: EarthScan.). Health of Urban Poor Far Worse than Urban Averages: The urban poor are vulnerable to many health risks as a consequence of living in conditions characterized by cramped, low-quality housing with limited sanitation, limited access to affordable quality health care, widespread illiteracy, social isolation, and a lack of negotiating capacity to demand improved public services. This is reflected in their health outcomes. Health indicators among urban poor are much worse than urban averages and generally similar to those of rural populations. For example, The National Family Health Survey - 35 (2005-06) and other sources show: The urban poor have an infant mortality rate of 54.6 in comparison to 35.5 of urban nonpoor and 41.7 of urban average. Despite proximity to specialty hospitals, 56% of slum children are born at home without skilled birth attendants, increasing the risk of neonatal and maternal mortality. Only 40% of urban poor children received all recommended vaccinations, comparable…

    Doing Business in Bangladesh

    Overview What is today known as Bangladesh was established when Bengal separated from India in 1947. It was then named East Pakistan, part of the newly formed nation of Pakistan. Dissatisfaction fueled by political exclusion and ethnic discrimination by the dominant West Pakistan, culminated in the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, which the Bengalis won due to the assistance of India, and the subsequent establishment of Bangladesh. The restoration of democracy in 1991 has been followed by relative calm and economic progress. Bangladesh has a rich cultural heritage, which encompasses both old and new traditions, which aid in uniting Bangladeshis across both religious and ethnic divides. It is also the world’s most densely populated non-island nation. Though it is largely Muslim, the country has a sizable number of Hindus and other minorities. Bangladeshi Culture – Key Concepts and Values Identity - Bangladeshi culture assimilated over centuries and is an amalgamation of Hindu, Jainist, Buddhist and Islamic influences. Bangladeshi national identity is embedded in Bengali culture. Symbolically, Bangladeshi identity is centred on the 1971 struggle for independence from Pakistan. During that liberation struggle, the key elements of Bangladeshi identity focused on the importance of the Bengali mother tongue and the distinctiveness of a culture or way of life connected to the floodplains of the region. Community - Although progress has been made in terms of the advancement of women (the current Prime Minister is female), Bangladeshi society functions along patriarchal lines and major…
