While the majority of the population of Bangladesh live in rural areas, the majority of health professionals live in urban areas. However, there have been great strides made to remedy this dilemma. Bangladesh has managed to develop nationwide network of medical facilities, colleges, and institutions. According to the World Health Organization, Bangladesh has constructed almost 60 Medical colleges (The majority of them private), 13 nursing colleges (majority private), 69 nursing institute (22 of them are private), 17 medical assistant training schools (10 of them are private), and 16 institute of health technology (13 of them are private). In spite of this growth to health workforce production, the country is still having health workforce shortage and geographical imbalances. The World Health Report 2006 identified Bangladesh among 57 countries with a serious shortage of doctors, paramedics, nurses and midwives (World Health Organization).

The major focuses of HHS were the Office of Human Development Services, the Public Health Service, HCFA, and the Social Security Administration. But HHS were most worried about in 1980 were health care finance. And to make thing worse, by the 1990s HHS lost a major operating agency, when SSA decided to go independent. Even with all the changes, HHS still remains a government agency that is responsible for federal policy. HHS is responsible for the curing and caring for those affected by immune deficiency syndrome, preserving the health insurance right of people with disabilities, and assuring the long-range solvency of the Medicare programs. It is the mission of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service (HHS) to enhance and protect the Health and well-being of all American. The

A major life saving component of SEPs is harm reduction. One aspect of harm reduction is public health which is: the practice of preventing disease and promoting good health within people, from small communities to entire countries.

Some policies were created to lower the harmful aftermaths associated with various, sometimes illegal,

Health care systems are organizations that are formed to meet the overall health needs of the population. Health care is regarded as one of the leading cause in promoting not only physical and mental health but the well-being of the population. Legislation is implemented requiring government to offer services to all members of its society. The role of health services and the organizations that provide aid is to focus on the health of an individual and to uphold their human rights. According to WHO (2013), a “well-functioning health care system requires a robust financing mechanism, a well-trained and adequately-paid workforce, reliable information on which to base decisions and policies, and well maintained facilities and logistics to deliver quality medicines and technologies (World Health Organization; 2013).

Health services are the most apparent purpose of any health system both to the general public and the user. Service provision points to the way input the likes of money, staff drugs and equipment are linked to facilitate the delivery of health requirements. Health services incorporate all services that deal with the diagnosis and treatment of an ailment or the maintenance, promotion, and restoration of health. They include non-personal and personal health services. Enhancing coverage, access, and quality of services rely on these essential resources being available: on the ways, services are managed and organized and on the incentives influencing users and providers.

This case analysis is about the work Doctors Without Borders do for the people with multi-drug resistant tuberculosis in the Sub-Saharan country of Swaziland and the story of a boy named Senzo that are in the middle of such a treatment. With a weak immune system because of the HIV virus, tuberculosis and similar diseases could kill him. With the help of this organization and many other similar initiatives, the Millennium Development Goal of decreasing the death rate of children under the age of five by two thirds within the year 2015 is slowly moving in the right direction.

To begin, the Department of Health and Human Services or HSS is a federal agency that is responsible for maintaining the health of Americans and regulating federal programs like Medicare, Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services). Now, these are some serious people and what they do is very important to the welfare of the citizens of this country. The HSS had six goals they wanted to undertake between 2010 and 2015. Some of those objectives were to strengthen health care, advance scientific knowledge and innovation and lastly to advance the health, safety, and overall well-being of the nation (The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2013).

The Malawi Government has been consistently looking for ways to improve the public health including maintaining a budget for disease prevention and control. The Government has also teamed up with the Ministry of health to create a Health Services delivery system in Malawi to address the needs of treatment and care of patients (CDC, 2016). Together the government and Ministry offer services to the community through Health centers and Hospitals, and also through community based educational services. They have set up Health Surveillance Assistants (HSA) to help create a connection to the community. The HSA conduct health education services, immunizations, and other services.

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.
