A Brief Note On Increase Funding From Member States Without Political Obstacles

If a health clinic providing basic services to the world’s most vulnerable people is withheld the large amount of foreign assistance that currently comes from the United States government, all diseases will flourish, including epidemics such as Zika and Ebola (Barry-Jester, 2016). We contribute to more unstable political environments (Crimm, 2007, p.615) and more refugees that we increasingly refuse to help when we take away aid that would countries meet the needs of their citizens.

The WHO (World Health Organization) is an international agency who provides leadership, protocol, and guidelines, in terms of health, for the rest of the world. They make suggestions for research, then share the valued knowledge that is derived from it. In addition, to setting norms and standards, they also promote health education and monitor for disease control, as well as offering support to agencies that need it. For example, because of Poland and their history with tobacco, the WHO has an office with a program manager for tobacco control in Warsaw, Poland (WHO, 2016). The WHO also establishes

I would like to propose that the World Health Organization takes a more active role in this area and create a more sophisticated quick response branch that embeds personnel in an effective manner. This will take much logistical planning and preparedness, perhaps the successes could be used analogously in this country to strengthen FEMA’s responses.

Ebola is a virus that is transmitted to other individuals through direct contact with blood and body fluids of those infected (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2015). In the most recent outbreak in 2014, the video Ebola Outbreak (2014) illustrated that the virus quickly became a worldwide epidemic. As the virus became so widespread throughout Africa, Ebola-infected so many people in such a short time frame. While the organization, Doctors without Borders was intimately involved early on, they quickly learned that the manpower they had to offer was not nearly enough. The group identified that they had no way of performing contact tracing, which is a way of following patients that were contaminated and quickly led to additional cases of infection in astronomical numbers. According to the follow-up video, Outbreak (2014) the organization Doctors without Borders communicated to the World Health Organization (WHO) made a valiant

In 1997 the International Coordinating Group was established following a meningitis outbreak in Africa. Due to the overwhelming impact on the medical infrastructure, this organization was initiated. The ICG ensures that there is sufficient supply of vaccination to respond to a meningitis outbreak. 20 million doses of vaccinations have been shipped from ICG for emergency treatments in 13 countries.(http://www.who.int/csr/disease/meningococcal/impact/en/)

In conclusion, that's why I think the U.S should accept more refugees into the country. Many people are being affected with all the violence and all are in need of medical help that the U.S can provide to

It is no secret that America holds extensive opportunities for its citizens. Those living in America can enjoy the freedom established by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Many flee to America as a source of comfort and new beginnings. However, recently a governmental epidemic presented itself. Programs and institutions funded by the government are being shut down due to budget problems. These institutions hold vital importance in our daily lives. Government funding allows nurses, EMT's, paramedics, and drivers to renew and create their licenses so they can practice their job legally. Without the renewing of licenses, hospitals may experience understaffing. More people may die or receive injuries as a result of lack of paramedics.

Emergency Medical Services is a branch of healthcare in which humanitarianism is one of top priorities. With the state of the economy for the past number of years, many families have

In Syria, attacks on medical personnel is particularly serious. A vast number of medical facilities have been wiped out and completely destroyed. When medical personnel come to the rescue of seemingly innocent civilians after a city has been bombed, those first

The 2014 Ebola outbreak was the first occurrence of Ebola in West Africa, killing thousands of people. The epidemic caused panic worldwide as the World Health Organization (WHO) struggled to contain what it claimed would be a brief outbreak. It was through this unsuccessful response that the WHO came under increased scrutiny. Investigations into the WHO revealed deficiencies across many aspects of the organization. Most notably, the WHO was criticized for its lack of emergency preparedness, its ineffective implementation of the International Health Regulations, and its failure to respond to the outbreak with the necessary force. While these criticisms questioned

According to wealth health organisation 2014, in times of conflict and crisis, people often have reduced access to primary healthcare services, emergency care, and medicine because of low income. Women and children are particularly vulnerable and risk increased rates of infection and disease. Doctors of the World respond quickly to emergencies by supporting doctors and nurses in the field to improve access to healthcare for local populations. Mobile teams are deployed to treat and provide medicine for hard to reach populations. Doctors of the World remain long after emergencies to ensure sustainability, eventually handing over projects to the local health authorities.

Components of the solution include “increased political and technical” collaboration amongst countries to aid this crisis, as well as “retention of health workers” in countries with scarce healthcare professional, and a greater balance of healthcare

The jobs of public health workers could be stressful, requiring more than what they have learned. Healthcare providers confront the struggle of maintaining political demands, while also meeting the health demand of the population. Public health workers need to be groomed efficiently before being thrown into situations they cannot handle. Some health care workers in situation of providing humanitarian relief to countries undergoing conflict will have to maintain silence about witnessed violations of human right; failure to do so may result in more death and the health workers not having access to the population requiring health needs. The purpose of sending health workers to humanitarian emergencies is to provide relief, but instead they do the opposite due to the lack of knowledge on what to do in specific problems. Health care workers can be providing the wrong relief to a certain population in some situation. Public health workers should know what tools is need and the exact timing in an emergency it is needed. Humanitarian workers are mostly seen as outsiders because they do not understand the culture of the people. Mostly, the need to maintain respect for cultural practice regarding death and grief, which either hinders the relief process or adds more pain to the affected population. From time to time mass emergency intervention might be considered a violation to human right, which may lead to

There are a variety of international, national, and local organizations and institutions working to implement these treatments. The two main organizations fronting the international efforts are the WHO and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), or Doctors Without Borders. The WHO has assisted with preventive care by providing public

Although volunteers for Medecins Sans Frontiers are commonly stationed in various countries with a dire healthcare worker shortage, regions with refugee camps and internally displaced persons are also a focus for this organization. Refugees and internally displaced persons often come from war torn regions and live in close confines with poor sanitation and limited resources. These living situations become a breeding ground for diseases and other health issues like malnutrition, yet the individuals lack access to any sort of healthcare. The organization also responds quickly when regions suddenly experience an increased need for healthcare, for example in times of an epidemic or a natural disaster. Medecins Sans Frontiers’ involvement across its varying regions and their attempt to address a broad spectrum of healthcare truly show how altruistic the organization is to individuals regardless of race, gender, or religion.
