Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This multidisciplinary book brings together medical, management, and architectural disciplines in order to formulate new approaches to the programming, planning, and design of healthcare facilities that will improve the quality of healthcare systems in rapidly developing countries, respecting local culture. It achieves this aim by drawing upon case studies on healthcare facilities and services that were undertaken in Kolkata, India, where the public healthcare system is meager and most people do not have access to health services. The approaches presented pay appropriate attention to technical aspects and organizational set-up and are designed to achieve an adequate healthcare assistance, greater production efficiency, better use of local professional resources, and careful control of construction. They are also intended to promote educational progress and future independence in construction and management of the healthcare system. The book will appeal to all with an interest in design and organizational strategies to meet new healthcare challenges in India and other emerging countries.

Book Synopsis Financing Health Services in Developing Countries by : John S. Akin
Download or read book Financing Health Services in Developing Countries written by John S. Akin and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1987-01-01 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report discusses several different approaches that support reforming health care services in developing countries. For some time now, health care services have been supported by government funds. As demands for improving health care services continue to increase additional demands will be placed on governments to respond. This, however, will not be easy. Slow economic growth and record budget deficits in the 1980's have forced reductions in public spending. Alternative approaches to finance health care services are needed. Such possible changes could involve: decentralization of federal government involvement; the promotion of nongovernment involvement; the imposition of user fees; and, establishing health insurance. Finally, the role of the Bank in pursuing new financing strategies is discussed.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Mexico City or Nairobi or Manila, a young girl in one part of the city is near death with measles, while, not far away, an elderly man awaits transplantation of a new kidney. How is one denied a cheap, simple, and effective remedy while another can command the most advanced technology medicine can offer? Can countries like Mexico, Kenya, or the Philippines, with limited funds and medical resources, find an affordable, effective, and fair way to balance competing health needs and demands? Such dilemmas are the focus of this insightful book in which leading international researchers bring together the latest thinking on how developing countries can reform health care. The choices these poorer countries make today will determine the pace of health improvement for vast numbers of people now and in the future. Exploring new ideas and concepts, as well as the practical experiences of nations in all parts of the world, this volume provides valuable insights and information to both generalists and specialists interested in how health care will look in the world of the twenty-first century.

This book was released on 2021-05-21 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In terms of healthcare, in both the People’s Republic of China and the United States there have been dramatic changes within the past 60 years. The PRC has evolved to be a superpower and a major player in the international healthcare development arena whereas the USA has struggled to maintain its image as a major builder of soft diplomacy. When it comes to delivering healthcare, Africa is a continent with many developing countries with individualized needs that calls for individualized healthcare plans, and both the PRC and USA have struggled with this relationship. The PRC on one hand has had social conflict with the average African, which has been detrimental to relations, the USA on the other hand, has reduced international development funds and has been in a healthcare crisis of its own. Due to these changes, Africa has essentially become the last battleground for soft power with healthcare being the measuring tool. Transitioning Healthcare Support in Developing Countries From the US to China: Emerging Research and Opportunities explores the history of healthcare in Africa from the 1960s to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Pandemic in 2020. This book examines the relationship between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the United States of America (USA) in providing healthcare services to Africa and documents the struggles and areas of both success and failure in doing so. The chapters cover issues such as racism in PRC residing in Africa and the USA’s struggle with coronavirus. This book is ideal for government officials, medical personnel, policymakers, international agencies, practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the relations and healthcare delivery between both the USA and PRC to Africa.

This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthcare service delivery in emerging economies comes with great contradictions: that despite being fast growing economies, healthcare remains unaffordable to the large chunk of its population particularly for patients belonging to the bottom of the pyramid (BoP). Thus the modern healthcare systems are missing out on the "Uncaptured Potential" of the Emerging Markets. In order to offer affordable healthcare to its citizens the developing countries face many challenges. Primarily qualified manpower at different levels and their willingness to work in remote as well as smaller cities and towns. These countries also faces constraints with traditional government system, fast growing private sector and lack of financial support for its citizens. Many private players including hospitals and medical device companies are developing schemes for healthcare delivery in Emerging Markets. However, models developed for resource rich environment will be less applicable for countries like India and other emerging countries need to develop their own mixed models of care delivery and improve the same based on their experience. In this book, the reader gets a holistic operations perspective on developing tailored and affordable service delivery models for Emerging Economies. The Book is divided into 4 Sections, Section 1 gives details on the demand side in terms Indian Healthcare Economics, the economic burden of diseases and the challenges and opportunities existing in these emerging economies , Section 2 focuses on the supply side, by finding out technical efficiencies of healthcare delivery systems and exploring the reasons of inefficiency and poor scale up, while Section 3 focuses on developing sustainable and profitable innovations and healthcare ventures for emerging markets and Section 4 Shows the advent of telemedicine and Artificial intelligence and their use cases in emerging markets. Our Effort has been to put together analysis and findings what we obtained from set of rigorous research, surveys, literature reviews, expert interviews, mathematical modelling and statistical analysis. Also for better understanding and to back our hypothesis and models, we had included real world case studies at various points. The book also presents more than 20 Successful healthcare models from various emerging economies and tries to device a long term strategy in order to harness the untapped potential of healthcare delivery in Emerging Economies.

Book Synopsis Health Care Systems in Developing Countries in Asia by : Christian Aspalter
Download or read book Health Care Systems in Developing Countries in Asia written by Christian Aspalter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the last two decades, major Asian economies have successfully kept their economic growth momentum going. Now, as these economies are entering a new phase of economic growth, more attention is being paid to their respective states of social development, especially the provision and the expansion of social security and, in particular, health care. Academic study of the development of health care in developing countries has been for the most part neglected by the literature, and in-depth country case studies that are directly comparable on a one-to-one basis have not yet been conducted in a systematic manner. This book volume also proposes a new stance on health policy and the health care policy paradigm, one that focuses on "saving lives" from premature death, as well as illness, accidents, misery and poverty, based on the normative theory of developmental social policy (DSP). This groundbreaking book will therefore serve as a valuable reference volume for health policy, social policy and public policy experts, social development experts, health and development economists, health sociologists, social workers, government administrators as well as other medical and health professionals and academics.
Book Synopsis The underlying dynamics of health care systems in developing countries: Health policy, planning and the Impact of Social Economic Status (SES) on Health Disparities by : Mukasa Aziz Hawards
Download or read book The underlying dynamics of health care systems in developing countries: Health policy, planning and the Impact of Social Economic Status (SES) on Health Disparities written by Mukasa Aziz Hawards and published by Anchor Academic Publishing (aap_verlag). This book was released on 2014-06 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of health policy and planning are tremendous remedies through which the health care systems derive their primary potentials in the health promotion ventures and interventions. The programs designed in the health arena are tentatively equivocal and submissive to the implications influenced by the policy development criteria and much more open to the planning process. Every day, healthcare organizations are faced with crucial decisions about improving their systems of care and a lack of critical information to guide them. The research they need should be designed to help them provide better care to the patients in their organization, effectively and efficiently. Where does the Medicaid and the medical care strategies, as pursued in the United States of America, have their remedies through policy structure and together with the political culture associated to the system, or perhaps how possible is it that japan has the highest life expectancy co-efficient. The book is more of a fact file as results were generated by the health care research from suitable sectors and comparisons derived from the well-off health care states mainly from the OECD fraternity, as these bare differences due to policy even when their economic bases differ by small percentages. This work should be helpful in directing and providing us with traceable landmarks to follow while seeking to avert the challenges that weaponize the communicable disease prevalence in the society for both the developed and the low developed states.

This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patient safety and quality improvement in health care remain a global priority. Subpar performance in health care, however, is still common more than a decade after the christening of patient safety in Africa. The core principle of safety and quality improvement systems is to identify and assess the root cause of failures in order to learn from them and devise a means to improve and to avoid recurrence. This book is designed to encourage, facilitate and empower healthcare workers in the development and implementation of strategically driven patient safety and quality improvement initiatives for safer healthcare systems and healthcare facilities in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) of Africa. It also highlights some of the profound challenges and barriers to designing and implementing patient safety and quality improvement interventions or programmes in the region and reiterates the need to remain focused and determined to work out solutions with confidence and overcome these barriers. In the book, chapters highlight six essential components crucial for achieving evolutionary progress in safety and quality improvement in a healthcare system: Standard operating procedure Audit Research Safety management Quality management Evaluation Practical steps in planning and conducting these six essential components are outlined with some specific features to aid learning and facilitate their implementation. The authors have experience and expertise in the medical practice gained in Africa and a decade of knowledge and experience from consultancy work in safety and quality improvement in health care within and outside the region. Essentials for Quality and Safety Improvement in Health Care: A Resource for Developing Countries is authored for both medical professionals and those from other professions who are interested in and enthusiastic about patient safety and healthcare quality and therefore willing to build a career in this field.
