Dr. Farmer understood that their horrid living conditions would have to change in order for his patients to heal. Dr. Farmer knew that Haiti itself would be unable to make this transition, which is why relying on the wealth, generosity and action from others around the world, to provide adequate necessities for the Haitians became such an important task. When his patients were given a better quality of life, they began to maintain health. For most Americans, we would be unable to fathom the undesirable living conditions, but at the same time understand why diseases run rampant in such an awful economic environment. Without the interdependence of the wealthy around the world and humanitarian belief that we are all human and deserve to be treated with equality, compassion and love, Dr. Farmer may not have been able to succeed as well as he did in Haiti. Kidder (2003) states “You want to see where Christ crucified abides today? Go to where the poor are suffering and fighting back, and that’s where he is (pg. 79).”

The World Health Assembly expects efforts to achieve the “Health for All” goals of the WHO to be collaboration between the country’s leaders, health organizations, individual countryman, communities and other countries (Maurer and Smith 2013, p. 115). There are many intergovernmental organizations (The WHO, the Pan American Health Organization, the United Nations Children’s Fund, the World Bank, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention etc.) as well as voluntary and philanthropic organizations (Catholic Relief Services, American Friends Service Committee, Doctors without borders, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, etc.) that focus on the health of populations around the world, providing expertise, technical support, funding for economic and infrastructure development and for healthcare services (Maurer and Smith, 2013, pp116-118). As for other countries education in how to raise your own crops can be beneficial. Food and financial aid is currently supplied but perhaps that could be increased, with the introduction

Centura Health had the opportunity for a workshop presentation by Dominique Morgan-Solomon, a population health expert. Dominique Morgan-Solomon, MPH, works as a consultant in health care delivery, device management, and for health care organizations on population health strategies and program implementation. Prior to consulting, Dominique was the Chief Operating Officer of Steward Medical Group and Vice President of Population Health for Steward Health Care from February 2012 until October of 2015. She was responsible for the strategic planning and execution of its quality performance, clinical integration care management, and population health programs. Last year she was awarded “Young Healthcare Executive of the Year” for her leadership in this promising field by the National Association of Health Service Executives (NAHSE). She has exceeded in her career after receiving a Bachelor of Arts from Cornell University in Biology and Political Science and a Master of Public Health in Health Policy from the University of Michigan.

With the focus on these five areas, Governments in each country are creating health systems that aim to provide services that are affordable, equitable and accessible. To achieve a sustainable health system, cooperation and participation of all health care providers is vital. This will work towards WHO’s goal of achieving “better health for all”

Since 2011, I had been actively involved in the national medical student organization called ISMKI. Then in 2013, I was chosen as a representative from my organization in multi-professional health student forum called HPEQ Student. From that forum, we worked together toward our common goals to implement IPC and to increase the health service quality. This goal is surely challenging since there are a lot of barriers and stigma between each health professional. One of the programs that we proposed was a National Health Collaboration (NHC) conference, which I involved as the organizing committee. We socialize the IPC issue to health student in this conference. Another program was an advocacy about IPC to the policy-maker such as health minister

Setting up the ‘Heal the World’ Foundation which aims at providing medicine for children and fighting world hunger, drug and alcohol abuse, and child abuse

Despite the geographical, economical, cultural difference between the US and Haiti, the books told a stories that parallel one another. Each book described the experience of a doctor driven by the fundamental moral concept of health care as human right who aimed to correct the affects of structural violence in society through provision of medical care. Overall the books highlight the need for people with high social awareness level like Paul Farmer and David Ansell in the public health field in order to make universal healthcare a reality.

Paul Farmer co-founded Partners in Health in 1987 with the promise of providing quality healthcare all those who would not have medical access otherwise. To Farmer, the advancement of healthcare in impoverished countries has taken precedence over material possessions, only saving enough to have one nice suit and the comfort of his family. Farmer can therefore be considered an ideal citizen, fulfilling his moral duty of giving almost all of what he earns. Singer’s accomplishments are an example of how aid is able to improve the general welfare of a society. As a potential philanthropist, Farmer’s deontological perspective and Peter Singer’s consequentialist ideals can serve as guidelines for my decision to donate.

Paul Farmer is truly an amazing person. Throughout his life all he has ever wanted to do is help people. Apart from all the things he did in Haiti, just his upbringing and self made career is impressive. He was a man with very few faults because he always was just trying to do what was best in the situation presented to

“It’s simple really: go where the patients are. It seems obvious, but at the time it was a revolutionary concept because borders got in the way.” Says one of the founders of international organization, Doctors Without Borders. This unit was all about legacies, both good and bad. A legacy is what a person leaves and lots of times other people judge them by it. For this project the instructions were to pick a person or movement to research. Started during an extremely disastrous time, Doctors Without Borders helps people all over the world.

Bullying can be describes as an aggressive behavior from an individual that feels the need to overpower, and control others, whether physically or mentally. The term “bullying” is thrown around a bit excessively these days that we go to extremes when we hear the word, we either ignore it completely or we go off the handle and want to stamp everyone as a bully. As a society we have become desensitized to term while at the same time trying to stay politically correct, in other words we tend to look the other way, but when approached by others about it we try to save face. At times we even try to avoid explaining Darwins Theory of Evolution or in other words “natural selection” and label it as bullying. At the end of the day we need to address

This primary care clinic provides health-care to needy people from various ethnic groups, absolutely free of cost. I worked as an extern under supervision of attending physicians, performing various tasks including clinical evaluation, case presentation, maintaining paper records and EMR. I used to spend a lot of time on patient education and providing support to the poor, which enhanced my knowledge of the socioeconomic aspects of

TYPE A PROJECT--MSF is a neutral and impartial humanitarian organization that aims first and foremost to provide high-quality medical care to the people who need it the most. It does not promote the agenda of any country, political party, or religious faith, and, as such, endeavors to communicate its history, background, and capabilities to all parties in a given situation so that it may gain the necessary access to populations in need..On any given day, more than 30,000 doctors, nurses, logisticians, water-and-sanitation experts, administrators, and other qualified professionals working with MSF can be found providing medical care around the world..In 2012, MSF medical teams carried out more than 8.3 million outpatient consultations; delivered more than 185,000 babies; treated more than 1.6 million people for malaria; treated nearly 350,000 severely and moderately malnourished children; provided some 284,000 people living with HIV/AIDS with antiretroviral therapy; conducted more than 78,000 surgeries, and vaccinated 690,000 against measles and 496,000 against meningitis

With the development of health care system and the enhancing awareness of public health care among the society, the quality of health services is widely discussing in the global. Therefore, an international conference on primary health care is committed which is the Declaration of Alma-Ata on primary health care. It strongly reaffirms the importance of accessibility and equity of primary health services no matter in developed or developing countries (World Health Organization, & United Nations Children 's Fund, 1978). After that, the first international conference of health promotion was held which is the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion and followed by seven subsequent global conferences and it built on the progress of the Declaration of Alma-Ata (World Health Organization, Health and Welfare Canada & Canadian Public Health Association, 1986). Also, the foundation of primary health policy in New Zealand like New Zealand Health Strategy (Ministry of Health, 2000) and The Primary Health Care (PHC) strategy (Ministry of Health, 2001) are based on this declaration, furthermore, there are more policies were established in New Zealand like the Better, Sooner, More Convenient Health Care in the Community (Ministry of Health, 2011). The PHC strategy defined the role of Primary Health Organization (PHO) and Healthy Village Action Zones (HVAZ) is a church-based programme that runs by the Auckland District Health Board (ADHB) and three PHOs. It is crucial to explore

The project partners involved in the initial proof of concept phase are mainly Jubilee Insurance, Savannah Informatics and Gertrude’s Children Hospital. If the process is successful for this pilot site, the other health providers will be involved though AKUH has been actively involved.
