Health Care : An Egyptian Woman 's Life Expectancy

A Health care system of any country is an important consideration for the purposes of the overall development. One of the most important and essential feature of the human body is the health and the systems. In the same manner, proper management is also necessary. Furthermore, all the countries of the world have few targets and achievements to be made. On the other hand, it should also be noted down that, economic development and social welfare the two most are the two important factors. Economic welfare is connected with the increase in the wealth of the people at large (Niles, 2011).

One of the biggest issues in the medical field sector in United Arab Emirates is the lack of work forces such as doctors, nurses, and pharmacists (Gov of the UAE). According to Ministry of health statistics, the number of doctors in United Arab Emirates is 1.75 per 1000 people which is a very low ratio. While the nurses represent 2.7 per 1000 people ( MOH of the UAE,2014 ) . The country had realized the huge gap that impaire the health care system. Thus , the priority was set on its agenda for the plan of the year 2030. where it focuses on the issue and state the following " The Authority is also working on a comprehensive plan to attract, train and retain health care professionals with the focus on increasing the number of Emirati work force" (HAAD,2014).On the other hand the main obstacle that is facing Singapore heath care system is finance . The government is only responsible for the basic health care services. Therefore each individual is expected to take responsibility for his/her own health requirements (Lee & Wong ,2008 ).This issue has the major impact on the health care system of Singapore .However an outstanding country as Singapore would not stay still while such a problem exists in its system

One of the major problems facing our country today is the healthcare crisis. The inequality in our current healthcare system has created a huge gap in the difference between the level and the quality of healthcare that different people receive. Having an improved and reliable health care system available for everyone should be a priority that the government must make available. There are countries whose health care system meets the needs of the patients while there are countries whose health care systems need a great amount of overhaul for them to be able to attend to their patients. In this essay I will discuss the healthcare crisis and the differences in many countries

In 1998, the United States devoted 13% of its economy to health care, and this figure rose to 16% by 2008. However, despite this rise in government expenditure on health care, outcomes for patients remained the same (Obama, 2016). The quality of the health care system in general was not great; health care

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the differences between the healthcare in East Asia and the United States. The paper will discuss government programs that each country offers its citizens, how certain countries have taken preventative measures for its people and how the health of people in Asian countries versus the U.S differs and some possible explanations for why this may occur. This paper will discuss many different countries because Asia has many developing countries and no country in Asia has developed at the same rate. Healthcare spending will be looked at in Asian countries and the U.S to see the differences in spending and how more or less spending benefits the population. Healthcare is a huge part of the world’s economy and as certain population age, like the U.S’s and Japan’s it will be up to the governments to decide how to deal with the aging population and how to ensure that the healthcare industry does not become a bubble. As the population ages, there will be a bigger demand for healthcare and programs to support the elderly. This is a problem that the United States will have to deal with by 2030 because all the baby boomers will be over the age of 65 by then and they will have their hands out for government programs that support them for healthcare. This essay will look at other countries and how they have handled the increasing demand for healthcare. The United States has only recently made healthcare affordably accessible to everyone, and still

People will have health insurance at low costs, which means people can get care, stay healthy giving rise to a healthier nation. Consequently, does a healthy nation mean more productivity, GDP growth and better economy or a strain on the health care infrastructure as more people visit doctors and hospitals giving scope to increased health accidents, malpractices and unsustainable costs?

In light of these new traits of the society, the health care sector must develop itself and address the new needs of the society. Furthermore, these new needs are not only shaped by the changes in the life style of the population, but other traits as well. For instance, at a demographic level, it is noted that the population ages at a rapid rate and requires more health care. Then, at an economic level, it is noted how the internationalized economic crisis poses new threats and limits the population's access to health care.

It is no secret that the US healthcare has many issues in its system. Especially, when you compare it to other countries like: Great Britain, Japan, France, Canada etc. According to Sultz and Young states that “The United States ranks eighth behind all of these nations in life expectancy at birth, highest in infant mortality rate, and highest in the probability of people dying between the age of 15 and 60 years.” The US healthcare system has many issues like a large number of uninsured According to Sara R. Collins, Munira Gunja and Sophie Beutel in the 2014 census 33 million people were uninsured. Other issues are medical professional shortage, medical error or infection, people using apps to diagnose themselves, and rising cost of care. The main focus in these paper will be the rising of cost. The cost of current health care explains for most of the issues that is happening in this country.

The United States (US) cost of health is higher than other countries. The population health status has improved but more work needs to be done. However, in 2007 the US spent $7,290 per capital on health care. In the early 1990’s health care spending was $714 billion by 2007 the spending was 2.2 trillion dollars (Berryman, Palmer, Kohl, & Parham, 2013).

The cost of care has been a growing problem throughout developed nations during the last 15 years. For example, across 34 nations that make up the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the average per capita health care expenditure increased by more than 70 percent between 2000 and 2010. However, the biggest spenders — such as

The U.S health care system, in 2012, cost around 2.6 trillion dollars and is expected to rise to about 4.8 trillion dollars in 2021, if nothing is done to repair the issue. To further illustrate, America is the only wealthy and industrialized country in the world to not have universal health care. Yet, many still believe that the United States may become a communist nation if health care is provided to all. They still believe that it will perhaps send it into an economical crisis. However, the national government should provide universal healthcare, because it is a basic human right, tens of millions of Americans have been left uninsured, and it is a vital part for the recovery of the economy.

In the United States the rates of medical costs are skyrocketing. Even, though this is a wide span issue across many nations. Health care costs are the highest within the U.S. This issue is based upon life expectancy and infant mortality which help to produce the average rates across the board in our country. We as Americans with good health insurance coverage may get the best medical treatment in the world, but we are still below the average of other major industrial countries. the performance of the United States health care system as compared to 191 other countries was ranked 37th. This is according to the World Health Organization’s 2000 report on the

Helping people by implementing programs for healthcare is an great way to stop poverty and hunger.According to the article Health care An economic driver “Another challenge for governments is how to fund health care, particularly as more people live longer. OECD health and finance ministers are concerned that this growing demand and further technological advances in modern medicine will increase pressure on public sector budgets.”(Reisen Helmut 23) This shows that people who live longer most likely need health insurance and, 10 percent of middle class citizens are in debt.

Worldwide, approximately 1.3 billion people do not have access to affordable and efficient healthcare and out of those who have access, almost 170 million are forced to spend around 40 % of their income on medical treatment (Asante et al,2016).In low and middle income countries (LMICs), the major constraint to the access of healthcare is financial burden, where out-of-pocket payments (OPP) contribute to approximately 50 % of total health expenditure (WHO, 2010). As a result, in these countries there is high probability of many households being pushed into poverty due to high medical expenses (McIntyre,2006).The matter of concern in LMICS is that poor and disadvantaged groups of population do not have access to adequate quality of healthcare.For instance, according to WHO (2010) up to 20 % of women in rich population are more likely to have a birth attended by skilled health worker than a poor woman. Therefore, taking an action to address health inequities faced in these countries would save up to 700,000 women.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has committed vast resources by allocating more than 13 percent of its annual budget in improving the Kingdom’s medical care system, with the ultimate goal of providing free medical care for everyone. This commitment has been translated to more than 330 hospitals operated by the government and the private sector, with a capacity of more than 50,000 beds. Of these hospitals, 184 are run by the government, with more than 16 thousand doctors, 40 thousand nurses, and more than 25 thousand assistant nurses according to the Ministry of Health (2003). Based on these figures and the Saudi population of 20 million people, to satisfy and maintain the current health care standard, one out of every
