Having surgery and going under anaesthetic in another country is bound to induce fear. My eagerness to have the operation and my realisation of my nose dream seemed to blot out most fear. It's amazing what we can overcome when faced with something we really want to do. Given events moved quickly I hadn't given much thought to the actual operation itself which was for the best. Having just had a look at where Iran stands internationally in terms of hospitals and healthcare the search was futile. The methodology used to collect data for the statistics I found aren't sufficient enough for me to quote here. Given Iran is in my opinion a very closed off country in many respects how does this manifest through international rankings? I was just looking at a list of the rankings of international hospitals and a large portion of the methodology is based on search engines. So if a country does not embrace or adopt the internet to share or place it's data then this will adversely affect it's rankings. I could continue in depth just on this subject but don't want to to veer off the main story. I flag this up though because this is not the first time I've run into this problem. I tried to research where Iran stood on an international level of cosmetic procedures. This was based upon my initial shock at what I've mentioned is a gluttony of cosmetic enhancements. Iran hardly figured at all and I couldn't conclude or find anything that felt remotely representational for what I've first-hand
However, a more difficult dimension of these systems that has not been comprehensively or definitively evaluated is whether the health outcomes of patients of both countries are equivalent given similar treatments or procedures. Relatively few studies have been done which attempt to address this issue. Those studies that have attempted to determine any differences in health outcomes resulting from differences in the health care systems that have focused on a limited number of diagnoses, treatments or procedures.
The passage “The Undercurrent” written by Kellie Young, was penned to display the effects of influences in a person’s life. In the reading, Young imparts a tale about her overprotective mother. In the onset of the story, Young is paddling through a grand ocean on a surfboard but her mother’s voice will not leave her head. The voice relentlessly spiels on about the dangers of the ocean, poisonous sea creatures, and how surfing is such a life threatening activity as Young paddles further out into the waters. Young then begins to explain all of the ways her mother has kept her sheltered from the outside world and how the mother seems to always envision the worst possible case scenario. As the story progresses, Young begins to illustrate the ways she herself has started to become worried about any situation. For
Universal healthcare is known to be a luxury in most counties. However, in North Korea where the economy is continually struggling, universal healthcare is a disaster. The communist country has major commitments to education and healthcare which both failed once the economy crumbled. The health of North Koreans suffered dramatically with a declining economy because it created famine, malnutrition, absence of medication, and ultimately extremely limited healthcare. A recent documentary, called Inside North Korea, allowed a foreign physician to come in the country and perform cataract surgery to countless individuals. This physician was needed to not only to bring modern surgery equipment, but also education North Korean medical professionals
As the United States continues make improvements to its national health care system, it is important to look to the health care policies of other countries. We can learn a lot from noting what is working in regards to foreign health
Ted Cruz has been in the top of the polls between him and Donald Trump during the race. This shows that he has a following in the country, but it isn’t enough. Cruz has been insignificant through his following due to his speaking skills and outlook for his presidency. He has been known to let his emotions get in the way of debates and news interviews. This effects his magnet side of leadership. Cruz has charisma, but it is faulted by his emotions. To be a magnet, Cruz will have to draw people in. He has to be able to get a following by his speeches. This isn’t happening with the majority of the country. As said in analyzing his authentic leadership qualities, Cruz is wanting to make America a Christian country. That is his end goal. This is
Kanye West had definitely caused so much friction due to his recent outbursts. They didn't just affect public's perception about him and his mental state but they also caused drama within their own family. Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian are reportedly clashing over West's recent meltdowns because Jenner is concerned his issues will hurt their brands. The 60-year-old momager had always been the one who tried to fix things in the Kardashian-Jenner clan.
The United States is ranked below China, Algeria and Iran when it comes to health care. The United States is ranked 46 among 48 countries. (Huffingtonpost.com, 2013)
With these outstanding evidences the Commonwealth Fund placed United States last in terms of overall health system ranking measured by different categories of access to care, equity, quality, efficiency and healthy lives compared to other developed countries. Among those rank categories, our health system is specifically placed last in access to care and efficiency. 37% of the adults in United States reported that they did not receive the recommended treatment, surgery or follow up care due to high cost. 40% of adults who had visited emergency room reported that they could have instead just visited a regular doctor if it was available. U.S. was also ranked last in infant mortality rate and amount of deaths preventable through timely access to healthcare.
The health care system varies from country to country although a factor they all have in common is that great measures of research are taken in order to find results and achieve a good health care system for the economy. Between Australia and japan, there are great initiatives taken to help in association to this, including economic, social and political circumstances, all influencing the way in which the countries health care system is shaped and run.
Universities stemmed some of the biggest medical advances in the health care industry amongst the world. The educational platform for the United States spells long term success for health care, by growing the next generation of top health care providers. In comparison Germany and Canada also are represented amongst the top 50 medical schools in the world, but lack any representation of the top 10 prestige rankings. On top of that, both other countries lack volume and opportunity to receive a valued medical education when compared to the United States.
Though the United States is known for having the highest quality health care in the
The World Health Organization ranks the United States as #37 out of 190 for performance. It is evident that even though we are spending more money, we are not able to achieve the desired outcome. The argument has always been that the free market of health care and insurance in this country has created a health care system that is second to none in the world. The statistics do not support this assertion.
In any country, external forces can influence or shape the basic character of a healthcare delivery system (Shi, 2015). These forces consist of political climate of a nation, economic development, technological processes, social and cultural values, physical environment, population characteristics such as demographic and health trends, global
Currently, Mayo Clinic is tracking the trends of international patients by country. They are observing the international data by quarter. By doing this they are able to observe changes in the hospitalization volume, hospitalization charges, and the percentage of new patients that are coming in. This helps a great deal in tracking which countries should be targeted. When further researching I came across the 10 worst healthcare systems in the world. Some of the countries which were included were: Zambia (located in South Africa), Lesotho (located in South
Is it possible for two countries which are thousands of kilometers away from each other to have some similarities in their health care system? Health care system is one of the most important and fundamental sectors in any country or region all around the world. Many countries pour a major amount of their overall income to support the health care system.
