In our first week of class, we have looked at the first three chapters in, Health Care Delivery in the United States. The first chapter talks about how the health care system has moved from a mindset of restoring a person’s health, into the phase of preventative medicine, which we see now. This has resulted from measurement of how the health care system is working, and with research looking at patients throughout the years. We now know, that any problem, disease, or condition, should be treated early or prevented if possible. The health care system has been working with public education to make citizens aware of what tests and preventative programs will be of assistance to them. (Knickman & Kovner, A., 2015).

The National Prevention, Health Promotion and Public Health Council, in consultation with the relevant authorities, are mandated to “develop and make public national prevention, health promotion, and public health strategies and evaluate and revise such approaches occasionally” (Authenticated U.S. Government Proclamation, n.d.). Further this specific part of the Act seeks to promote health goals, along with specified-based initiatives to achieve the measurable goals indicated in Health People 2012.

Being the only nurse for head start in the Dakota-Ramsey County Mary’s patient population is quite diverse. Despite this they all meet on a common ground, low socioeconomic background. Whenever poverty and children are in the same sentence the end result is not very favorable as “hunger and malnutrition are not unusual among the poor” (Wilkinson, 2016, p. 697). However being in the metropolitan area with easier access to resources helps to lighten the outcome. The chronic illnesses that Mary’s clientele have are asthma, anemia, seizures and kidney failure. In order to enhance positive client outcome Mary has to find creative way of meeting the needs of each individuals while keeping in mind the fact that the student are from low income family.

The National Health Service (NHS) was established in 1948 and has been regularly described as the envy of the world. Successive Governments have remained committed to its founding principle; universal service free at the point of use. NHS is funded through general taxation and its current budget is around £110 billion. It is facing unprecedented and increasing pressures that threaten to overwhelm its capacity. The population is ageing and there is a significant increase in the number of people with long-term conditions; for example heart disease, diabetes and hypertension. Expensive new treatments, new medical technologies and high public expectations are continually adding to the financial pressures on the NHS. Unhealthy life style is adding

This was an essential step towards making established public health organizations accountable and giving new programs a framework on which to develop from. This list outlines the foundation for the National Public Health Performance Standards Program. The ten essential public health services provide a way to assess the impact of these programs. This paper will explore and analyze case studies and the essential public health services they represent.

Health care is the true measure of a country is how a country responds to the health of its people. A country that has a strong emphasis on its health care and focuses the delivery of that care speaks volumes of that country. In this paper, we will be comparing and contrasting the role of governmental public health agencies in two different countries. While looking at these similarities and differences in the way two countries operate their individual, healthcare systems, we will also equate the historical, political and, economic and see how these reasons bolster or diminish the two nations. considering the Netherlands, a country that has been governed by a parliamentary representative democracy has an extreme focus on the healthcare system of the Dutch people. Meanwhile, a country like Australia is a country that rules by a constitutional monarchy that also as a strong focus on the healthcare initiative and policies. These countries successes and failures concerning the governmental health care agencies are available to see as well as viewing other countries understanding how countries operate their individual health care and after examining countries can see and try to implement and improve the wellbeing for how a country runs it health care systems. Understanding what makes these countries thrive independently for medical and public health funded agencies can improve the welfare of it residents but turn that country into a model of how a country should run,
