Abstract:
School health programmes in the 21 century could include eight components: 1) health services; 2) health education; 3) healthy physical and psychosocial environments; 4) psychological, counselling, and social services; 5) physical education and other physical activities; 6) healthy food services; and 7) integrated efforts of schools, families, and communities to improve the health of school students and employees. The eighth component of modern school health programmes, health programmes for school employees, is the focus of this article. Health programmes for school employees could be designed to increase the recruitment, retention, and productivity of school employees by partially focusing each of the preceding seven components of the school health programme on improving the health and quality of life of school employees as well as students. Thus, efforts to improve the quality of life, health, and productivity of school employees may be distinct from, but integrated with, efforts to improve the quality of life, health, and education of students. School employee health programmes can improve employee: 1) recruitment; 2) morale; 3) retention; and 4) productivity. They can reduce employee: 5) risk behaviours (e.g., physical inactivity); 6) risk factors (e.g., stress, obesity, high blood pressure); (7) illnesses; 8) work-related injuries; 9) absentee days; 10) worker compensation and disability claims; and 11) health care and health insurance costs. Further, if we hope to improve our schools' performance and raise student achievement levels, developing effective school employee health programmes can increase the likelihood that employees will: 12) serve as healthy role models for students; 13) implement effective school health programmes for students; and 14) present a positive image of the school to the community. If we are to improve the quality of life, health, and productivity of school employees in the 21st Century: school administrators, employees, and policymakers must be informed about the need and the means to do so; school employee health programmes must become part of the culture of education and the expectation of educators; and colleges that prepare school administrators and other school employees must provide the pre-service and in-service training, research, development, and leadership to make it happen. This article outlines ten actions that can be taken by school districts to build or improve school employee health programmes, and a list of websites that provides more detailed information about such programmes.

Abstract:
As medical education has become increasingly globalised, universities across the world have sought to raise standards by partnering with well-established institutions and a number of different partnership models have emerged. This article describes an academic collaboration between University College London (UCL), UK, and Newgiza University (NGU), Egypt, to establish modern and innovative undergraduate medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy programmes delivered in Egypt. Academics from UCL and NGU co-developed programmes using established materials, assessments, and processes from the equivalent programmes at UCL. Dedicated project managers, regular steering group meetings, strong working relationships between project teams, and iterative curriculum and assessment development processes were important features of the success of this work. A multidisciplinary first semester included students across all 3 health care programmes. This promoted collaboration between academics at both institutions. Although UCL resources were the basis of this project, the different sociocultural, ethical, professional, and regulatory frameworks in Egypt have meant that a number of adaptations have been necessary, in both curricula and teaching content. Perhaps the most important factor underpinning the success of this project has been the mutual respect and sensitivity of academics and clinicians from both institutions.

Abstract:
Novel medical curricula stress the need for proficiency in clinical skills by medical and nursing undergraduates over the mere possession of knowledge. Simulation-based Medical Learning has gained the attention of modern clinical training by enhancing clinical performance and patient safety more than traditional clinical training at hospitals. The present modern medical context uses various types of simulators. However, Simulation-Based Medical Learning in Sri Lanka remains at a preliminary stage compared to the international context due to multiple challenges.This paper aims to identify the challenges faced in Simulation-Based Medical Learning in Sri Lanka and recommend the mechanisms to overcome those challenges. Lack of resources and infrastructure, lack of funding, poor literacy on handling simulators, lack of trained personnel, and cultural and mindset barriers were the identified potential challenges in Sri Lanka towards Simulation-Based Medical Learning. Nevertheless, these challenges can be mediated by finding international partnerships and funding sources, establishing foreign training with new collaborations, increasing awareness through faculty development programmes, combining Simulated Patients with low-fidelity simulators, and integrating Simulation-Based Medical Learning into the medical curriculum.

Abstract:
Introduction: Worldwide, India was the first country to introduce a National Programme for Family Planning in 1952. Following its memorable inception, the Family Planning project has experienced numerous changes as far as approach and real program usage. Now India has committed in the London summit 2012 for family planning programme or interventions. Family planning programme or interventions will be performed as the main component of Universal Health Coverage. It will be achieved through the largest public health programme in the world, the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) and as well as National Urban Health Mission (NUHM). And also, India is focusing on SDG, by 2030, ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health-care services, including for family planning, information and education, and the integration of reproductive health into national strategies and programmes, as imitated in Sustainable Development Goal 3.7. Objective: First objective is to analyses the current trend of mCPR and project it for FP2020 and second to analyze the increase in the number of users under FP2020 as per the commitment to increase additional 48 million users. Materials & Method: We performed a secondary analysis on the data given by FP2020’s website. Which provides us information and resources on the global partnership designed for everyone working to advance access to modern contraceptives for all girls and women who want them. Result and conclusion: The result has estimated that the mCPR will rise to 55 percent in 2020 from 53 of 2012. But if we want to achieve the target of 175.39 (127 million users till 2012 and additional user of 48 million till 2020, which comes out to be 175 million) then we will have to increase the mCPR to 68 percent. Then only we will be able to achieve that. Otherwise the target looks unrealistic to achieve.

Abstract:
Music therapy is the use of intervention to accomplish individual goals within a therapeutic relationship by a professional who has completed an approved music therapy programme. Music has several physiological effects including positive effects on mood, a reduction of anxiety, stress and a lowering of blood pressure. There are several types of music therapy. Music therapy procedures are structured as either receptive or active. Music therapy methods include music recreation, improvisation, composition, listening and receptive experience. In modern health care, music has several applications in the perioperative setting, neurology, family medicine, paediatrics, obstetrics, interventional procedures, the critical care unit, pain management, palliative care and cancer. Though it has some limitations, there is ample scientific evidence to support the beneficial use of music therapy as a low-cost therapy with no side effect in various clinical situations in current health care settings. This article describes the various applications of music in modern health care.

Abstract:
Background: Health seeking behavior is any action taken by an individual who perceive themselves to have any health problems or to be ill, for an appropriate remedy. It can be determined by physical, socioeconomic, cultural or political, environmental, socio-demographic, knowledge, gender issues, political environment and health care system. Individual have different opinion regarding willingness to seek health from health care services. The general objective is to assess the health seeking behavior of community people in Lalitpur district of Nepal. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on community people of Mahalaxmi municipality in Lalitpur district of Nepal with the sample size 221. Probability proportionate method was used to select the ward and household, and respondents were selected purposively. Self-developed structure questionnaire was used to collect data using interview technique. Data management, analysis and interpretation were done using both descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS version 16 software. Results: Among 221 respondents, 84.6% of respondents seek health care services whereas 15.4 % did not seek health last time they were ill. The most frequently reported places to seek health care services were modern health facility (modern medication) (82.4%) followed by Self-medication (11.4%), alternative medication (4.6%) and traditional healer (1.6%) respectively. There was statistically significance association between health seeking behavior of community people with marital status (p=0.002), occupation (p=0.001), level of education (p=0.030), source of income (p<0.001), monthly income (p<0.006), duration of illness (p=0.008) and availability of nearest health care services (P<0.001). Conclusion: Study concluded that most of the respondents used modern medication while last time they were ill, such as hospital, clinic and health post as a first choice to treat health problem. The reasons for not seeking health care services were due to far distance, lack of money, lack of family support, lack of knowledge. Thus, awareness programmes are essential in community people for appropriate used of available health care services. Key words: Community people, Health seeking behavior, Utilization of health care services.

Abstract:
The proliferation of large-scale organisations is a phenomenon of modern society. As Etzioni (1968) puts it, “We are born in organisations, educated by organisations and most of us spend much of our lives working for organisations”. Most public organisations in modern society are bureaucracies and the field of psychiatry is no exception: a trend toward growing bureaucratisation, of both public and private mental health services organisations, can be observed everywhere. To a large extent, this is because, as standards of care become regulated and quality controls increase, the tasks that mental health professionals and administrators perform become better understood, more predictable, and more programmed. There is still room for creativity and innovation, but only in incremental, well controlled steps.

Abstract:
Introduction: Long-term prognosis of myocardial infarction (MI) is still serious, especially in patients with MI and cardiogenic shock. To improve long-term prognosis and prevent recurrent events, sustainable cardiovascular risk factor control (RFC) after MI is crucial. Methods: The article gives an overview on health care data regarding RFC after MI and presents recent trials on modern preventive strategies that support patients to achieve risk factor targets during long-term course. Results: International registry studies, such as EUROASPIRE, observed alarming deficiencies in RFC after MI. As data of the German Bremen ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)-Registry show, most deficiencies are found in socially disadvantaged city districts and in young patients. Several studies on prevention programmes to improve RFC after MI reported inconsistent data; however, in the recently published IPP trial a 12-months intensive prevention programme that included both repetitive personal contacts with non-physician prevention assistants and telemetric risk factor control, was associated with significant improvements of numerous risk factors (smoking, LDL and total cholesterol, systolic blood pressure and physical inactivity). Conclusions: There is a strong need of action to improve long-term risk RFC after MI, especially in socially disadvantaged patients. Modern prevention programmes, using personal and telemetric contacts, have large potential to support patients in achieving long-term risk factor targets after coronary events.

Abstract:
To meet future challenges from an older and physically less active population innovative solutions are needed. Modern Technology against Falls (MoTFall) aims to prevent falls, increase physical activity and improve self-rated health among older people by means of an information and communication technology based system. The project has developed technology-based solutions, focusing on person-centred care. A participatory research design was applied in the development of a mobile application, a wearable inertial movement measurement unit (IMMU), called the Snubblometer (‘snubbla’ is ‘stumble’ in Swedish) and a web-based education programme for health care professionals. The mobile application includes a fall risk index, exercises and information related to falls prevention. By linking the app to the IMMU, person-centred interventions can be developed and implemented in various health care settings and with different target populations. The IMMU has shown good validity and reliability for measuring postural sway and high sensitivity and specificity for measuring a near fall. The education programme is directed at non-graduate health care professionals in nursing homes and home care. The technical solutions have potential for use in research and in clinical practice.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis applies a conceptual framework to determine the key insights that complex adaptive system theories provide to the novel challenges facing the introduction of clinical governance in two English Primary Care Trusts (PCTs). It presents empirical research on governance through qualitative case studies of the implementation of clinical governance arrangements within two North West PCTs, during a time of flux and change. The study is located within the English National Health Service (NHS) between 1999 and 2005. The Department of Health (DH) describes clinical governance as an evolving organisational structure and process that: "Provides NHS service organisations and individual health professionals with a framework within which to build a single, coherent local programme for quality improvement." (Department of Health, 1998a p.33). The thesis reviews the literature on governance models, quality improvement frameworks and complexity-based approaches to establish an appropriate theoretical base to the study. The literature relates to the nature of PCTs as a networked structure with autonomous parts. This approach contextualises the origins of clinical governance and related quality concepts. The study encompasses the introduction of the most recent contractual arrangements for primary care in 2004 (NHS, 2004). The research question posed is: "How can governance of quality improvement programmes be managed in a way that is appropriate to the characteristics of English PCTs?" Detailed evidence demonstrates the nature of local clinical governance programmes and the implementation within two North West PCTs, from the perspective of those involved. The results of the analysis show that multiple perspectives were taken into account in the decisions made about the content and delivery of clinical governance programmes. It is suggested that the application of a complex adaptive system conceptual framework helped to provide insight and interpretation of the accounts of those involved in the two case studies. The variation in clinical governance approaches across the two PCTs is explained in part by the strategic and policy orientation of each PCT. The results are consistent with the argument that the characteristics of quality improvement programmes in two PCTs go beyond linear based concepts, and can be thought of as real-world exemplars of the emergent properties of complex adaptive systems. In practice, the lessons learned provide opportunities to inform future management approaches to quality improvement programmes in PCTs.

Abstract:
This thesis covers the organisational factors affecting the integration and implementation of primary health care programmes of a provincial public sector health department in South Africa. It responds to the problems of district-level management structures and front-line health care providers being inundated and undermined by the implementation of uncoordinated and fragmented PHC programme activities and strategies. The organisational factors assessed included structural factors such as the interaction between line authority and staff authority, the relationship between divisions located at the centre and periphery of the department and the complementarity between positions and their ranks; management style and leadership; the variables inherent within different PHC programme areas that should influence organisational design; and relevant contextual factors. The thesis is a single case study. Data is mostly qualitative in nature, based mainly on participant observation, interview and document review. The thesis discusses the methodological and epistemological challenges to conducting in-depth research into the functioning of health departments, and illustrates the potential of such research for the strengthening of public health systems in developing countries. One of the main conclusions of the research was that the structural design of a health department can be very significant to its functioning. Some of the structural design faults identified by this research were the inadequate definition of the roles, functions and inter-relationships of several positions with the department; and the lack of congruence between the distribution of rank and the structural configuration of the department. The thesis suggests certain generalisable lessons that could be applied to the design of a developing country public health sector organogram. The study also confirmed that the contribution of management leadership to effective organisational cohesion and inter-divisional coordination is very important in the context of PHC programme coordination. Of particular note was the importance of providing a clear and appropriate strategic framework for planning, which would include the use of planning as a strategy to enhance organisational cohesion and coordination. Finally, the thesis describes the fundamental importance of adequately skilled human personnel within health departments to the effective integration and implementation of PHC programmes.

Abstract:
The relationship between the Horthy era (1920–1944) and the communist era shows continuities if it is examined from a social historical perspective. The paper contributes to the reinterpretation of these relations by looking at Hungarian health care in the 1930s and 1940s with a focus on the relationship between international transfers and path dependency in forging health care reforms. I argue that the achievements communists regarded as inventions of socialism in health care and the welfare state had already been developed thoroughly in the 1930s and 1940s. It was only because of the strict wartime budget of the early 1940s that these welfare reforms had not been realised. With the help of internal affairs documents, essays on health care, and official statistics records in the National Archives of Hungary and the Semmelweis Library and Archives of Medical History in Budapest as well as press material, I demonstrate that, even if communists depicted the interwar period as “fascist and imperialist”, the health care system of the so-called “productive social policy” showed continuities. Moreover, social policy makers of the 1930s and early 1940s, such as Béla Johan, Ferenc Keresztes-Fischer and Béla Kovrig, also designed welfare and health care reforms for the post-war period by both developing already existing Hungarian programmes and selectively adapting foreign welfare models (American management principles, the Alsace scheme, and the Beveridge Plan). The study investigates Hungarian health care in view of the theory of path dependency and the macrohistorical convergence thesis developed by Béla Tomka (on the question of East-West convergence). It is within this framework that the paper addresses the issue of health care transfers to better understand the development of 20th -century European health care systems by identifying similarities and differences in their development as well as to speculate on the trajectory of various political solutions to social challenges, including health care.

Abstract:
AbstractThis paper reviews three competing ways of organizing health care delivery—professionalism, consumerism and statism—and explores how Germany’s exclusively statist model facilitated the ascendency of an alternative Nazi medical ethics predicated on eugenic conceptions of national “race hygiene.” The primary obligation of health care personnel became using their skills and knowledge to achieve the aims of the Nazi state, which justified forcible eugenic sterilization programs, and then the killing of children and adults with mental or physical disabilities and, eventually, the medicalized mass murder of other groups seen to pose a genetic threat to the health of the state, such as homosexuals, Jews, and Roma. The evolving international response to these medical crimes would come to affect medical professional approaches to virtually every issue in contemporary Bioethics, from abortion to xenotransplantation. In the early post-war years, news of German health care professionals’ participation in these actions shocked fellow health care professionals. Many denied these accounts, some defended German researchers, others dismissed the Germans’ justifications of their actions as madness parading as medicine or medical ethics. Ultimately, however, reformers seeking to remedy or prevent actions reminiscent of Nazi medicine created the foundational documents of modern health care professional ethics and the new field of Bioethics. These are the Nuremberg Code, the Declaration of Geneva, and the Belmont Report. In firmly rejecting Nazi medical ethics, these documents emphasize the rights of autonomous individuals, with health professionals serving as their agents, thus cementing modern ideals of health care professionalism.

Abstract:
Abstract Oral health promotion has as its central theme the improvement and maintenance of the oral health of the general population. This, together with the necessity of updating the knowledge of all health and allied professionals about relevant aspects of preventive dentistry, constitutes the main everyday activities of those involved in oral health promotion and education. In all dental health care systems health promotion is a minor budgetary item, but by the very nature of its public profile it is open to more scrutiny than many other branches of dentistry. Indeed, health promotion as a whole attracts more criticism than money, and investigations into its potential value are the source of much debate.

Abstract:
AbstractThe Walker Unit opened in 2009 as the first of its kind in Australia to provide an intensive longer stay secure psychiatric inpatient rehabilitation programme for adolescents with severe mental illness who had not benefited from at least one but generally repeated admissions or prolonged care in other tertiary inpatient unit settings. Unusually, this happened at a time when the focus of reform in mental health at a State and National level is on community models, early intervention and community residential care rather than extended inpatient care in the specialist clinical sector. As a first of its kind, the Unit is an important innovation in inpatient mental health care and has garnered a reputation in the clinical sector for creating value in mental health care.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter provides an overview of Taiwan’s National Health Insurance (NHI) system. In 1995, major social insurance programmes, such as labour insurance, government employee health insurance and farmers’ insurance, were merged and enlarged to form the NHI to deliver universal health coverage. Since its inception, the payment system of the NHI is the fee-for-service method. Moreover, most of the health care is provided by private sectors, and there are no restrictions on patients seeking medical care. Owing to the high medical accessibility, the volume of outpatient services is high, and the National Health Insurance Administration (NHIA) has to develop various measures to maintain its financial stability. Several strategies have been implemented by the NHIA for health equity, and the NHI MediCloud system, the NHI card and ‘My Health Bank’ were provided to ensure patients’ safety and enhance healthcare quality.

Abstract:
Maintaining and strengthening the health of workers is the most important task for medicine in the modern world. The development of health promotion programmes based on information about their health status seems to be more effective than general health measures. The main purpose of the paper is to evaluate the efficacy of health promotion programmes for employees («Healthy Back») employed in unhealthy working conditions at the car factory in St. Petersburg. The research included an analysis of the results of preventive medical examinations, an analysis of the structure of morbidity of workers in the whole factory and in certain departments (bodywork, assembly, painting, technical service department) in 2019 and 2021. As the activities of the program are mainly aimed at the prevention of neurological pathology. It has been found that in 2021 there was a significant decrease in the frequency of occurrence of neurological pathology in the bodywork, assembly, painting departments. It’s suggested that the use of employee wellness programs has a positive effect on the employees’ health, reduces their morbidity.

Abstract:
Health programmes are developed to prevent disease or manage the treatment process. They should be universal enough to target the largest possible group while taking into account the individual predispositions of the recipients. Important factors influencing the scope and design of health programs are also the financial capacity and availability of personnel to implement them. Thus, in addition to the experience of planners, the use of advanced decision support tools is necessary. Hybrid simulation modelling, which refers to the combination of two or more simulation approaches, is widely used to help manage various aspects of health care, including health programmes. The article is a part of a larger study in the area of using simulation modelling to support the planning of dental caries prevention programmes in primary schools in Poland. The paper focusses on one component, which are educational talks. Our goal is to provide a framework for developing simulation models to determine the potential impact of educational talks on children's oral health attitudes towards oral hygiene. The results of the experiments showed that oral health education may results in positive attitudes at the end of primary education in children.

Abstract:
Medical Education is the backbone of health care of a country. Over the years medical education in India has been restricted mainly to the conventional system of education where graduation and post-graduation is offered through a network of medical colleges both by the government and the private institutions. However, they are not only a far cry for the health manpower resource of the country, but also are not able to address the continuing medical education requirements of the medical fraternity which is the dire need today due to changing disease patterns, advancement in medical management and technologies being increasingly used for diagnosis and treatment. Indira Gandhi National Open University through it’s School of Health Sciences established in 1991 has been offering a variety of continuing medical education programmes for doctors through open and distance mode using the blended approach. Through this panel discussion, the speakers will demonstrate the different models that have been adopted over the period of almost three decades. Awareness and skill enhancing programmes have been developed in the area of health care like yoga and health care waste management, targeted to a mixed group of health professionals and paraprofessionals. Innovative models have been developed for Continuing Medical Education of in-service doctors and dentists for updating their knowledge and providing hands on training in programme specific skills at identified medical colleges and hospitals both at the tertiary and district level. Subjects not covered in the conventional system like MCH, HIV medicine, Geriatric medicine and CBRNE disasters have been taken up. Experimental models have also been developed for PG Medical Education targeting doctors for specialization and super specialization for statutory recognition of the qualification. These programmes when offered through the blended mode would be more cost effective and feasible for a larger target group as compared to the conventional system.

Abstract:
The Value Based Health Care (VBHC) has recently become the leading conceptual approach to health care in the world, but no value-based healthcare programme has yet been established in Latvia. Despite the critical interest in the implementation of VBHC programmes on the part of the health sector stakeholders, still the key persons in VBHC programmes are physicians. Goal of research: To clarify the views of physicians and young physicians on values-based health care fundamental principles and their vision for their further inclusion in Latvian health care. Method: The research uses data from a survey conducted among physicians and young physicians who practice at Pauls Stradins Clinical University Hospital.Results: 42% of physicians responded that patient surveys on the effectiveness of treatment for certain groups of patients could help to improve the results of treatment; 51% of physicians responded that patient surveys on their experience during treatment can help to improve their treatment results; much more cautious were physicians regarding the question whether comparing the results of treatment between physicians teams/hospitals could help to improve the results – 39% replied ‘Yes’ and 24% ‘Rather yes than no’; similarly cautious was the reply to the question whether the voluntary public availability of treatment results from a medical treatment facility could have a positive impact on the visibility of the service provider – 31% replied ‘Yes’ and 25% ‘Rather yes’; the convincing 82% of replies were to the question whether an exchange of experience and knowledge in the team of physicians helps to improve the results of treatment; the convincing majority of 86% of physicians believe that a multidisciplinary team of physicians can help improve the results of treatment; as a positive response, can be considered that 63% of respondents think that reforms in health care may be initiated not only by the Ministry of Health. The most interesting answer would be to the question of what management strategies should be developed in the healthcare system, where the first place, with 349 points, was taken by the answer “Cooperation with external partners (manufacturers, scientific centres, insurers, IT and other service providers)”.Conclusions: The results of the survey show that the application of VBHC principles will not contradict to views of physicians on traditional management models in health care and their role in it.Proposals: However, prior to starting the introduction of VBHC programmes in Latvian health care, there are grounds for launching discussions on the benefits of VBHC compared to the traditional management model. Policy recommendations: For hospital management and health sector supervisors to avoid resistance of physicians to implementing VBHC, the strategy should focus not on VBHC resource-efficient programmes but on patient-centred healthcare.

Full text
Abstract:
Human capital has undergone significant qualitative changes along with the development of society. Today, high-quality human capital is the most important and sought-after resource for economic growth and development. Knowledge, education, health care, quality of life and the role of leading specialists became the basis of sustainable development of the country. Since gaining independence and transitioning to a new economic system, the higher education system of our country is in the process of continuous reforms. It still needs significant changes to come closer to an internationally recognized grading system. It is most important for the country that young people receive education in accordance with international standards. In order to study the experience of advanced countries, students of higher educational institutions are sent to different countries of the world through exchange programs, which bring great experience to young people. Professional education is also of special importance for the development of human capital. It gives an opportunity to young people and people of any age to acquire a profession that will allow them to be quickly employed, get a job and contribute to the economic development of the country. The Covid-19 pandemic has brought to the fore an important workforce issue such as the shortage of skilled workers. The Georgian labor market cannot respond quickly and adequately to the professions and specialties in demand. There has not yet been a "reset" of teaching to prepare a skilled workforce with modern skills and habits. Higher education, vocational schools and their real employers still work separately. Unfortunately, the goals and objectives of both parties are often missed. Increasing the minimum score for admission to higher education programs through entrance exams is a serious consideration. The issue is directly related to the use of qualitative indicators of human capital. A specialist equipped with average knowledge finds it difficult to establish himself or cannot work in the profession. This is a serious problem and requires a timely review. It is known that the more money spent on higher education, the better the results in the national economy. An educated workforce yields better results. Keeping high-quality human capital and anchoring it in place requires no less care even after receiving proper education. Such specialists go abroad because of low pay. This process is called "intelligence drain", which is a very familiar process for Georgia. In terms of maximizing the use of human capital, in recent years, inclusive education has especially advanced. It has a double load. It can be said that the moral side is much more for this category of people, but from a pure economic point of view and from the interests of the country, it is no less important issue. Together with inclusive education, today a great role is assigned to the use of accumulated knowledge and experience of older people, professionalism. It is this category of people who create the "silver economy" .Their role is quite serious and important for the full-fledged economic development of the demographically aging society. Against the background of the development of modern technologies and the achievements of science, for the economic growth and development of the country, a completely new importance is assigned to the continuous development of human capital every day, both quantitatively and qualitatively. In accordance with the challenges of news, it is necessary to establish and consistently establish new and demand-related trends. Article in Georgian.

Abstract:
The development and implementation of new comprehensive preventive approaches to the problem of reducing morbidity and mortality rates from diseases of the circulatory system of workers in the oil and gas complex is an urgent task of modern corporate systems for maintaining the health of workers. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of medical prevention measures, the main component of which was the detection of early forms of cardiovascular diseases using targeted screening examinations. Targeted screening and assessment of cardiovascular risk using the SCORE scale were used as the main research method. The results of the examination of the main observation group showed that 13.7% of the examined had an average cardiovascular risk, 15.9% of the examined had a high cardiovascular risk. In the high-risk group, 42% of the study participants needed high-tech medical care, 18.7% needed an additional specialized examination. A preliminary assessment of the results of targeted scoring showed that such programs have a high potential and can reduce the number of cases of sudden death due to diseases of the circulatory system among workers by 25%.

The design, implementation, and effectiveness of teen models of care: lessons from MSF supported programmes providing treatment and care for adolescents aged 10 to 19 living with HIV in Malawi and Uganda. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières, April 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.57740/3mmnvmad0.

Full text
Abstract:
This “lessons learned” report presents a thorough documentation of the implementation process of the models of care for adolescents (aged ~10-19 years) living with HIV (ALHIV) in two HIV programmes supported by MSF. The first is in Arua, a town in the West Nile Province in Uganda and, the second, in Chiradzulu rural district, Southern Malawi. Both countries are among the top 15 countries to be affected by HIV in the world. Whilst Arua is in a lower HIV-prevalent setting, Chiradzulu district remains one of the most affected regions of Malawi. The key lessons learned from this implementation were: ▸ Schedule all adolescents on the same day(s); preferably during out-of-school hours. ▸ Ensure disclosure is a repeated and ongoing process and not an on/off one. ▸ Maintain close collaboration between clinicians and counsellors to continuously transmit information to the changing and evolving concerns of teens. ▸ Organize sessions by age band, separating the pre-pubescent adolescents from older ones. Full HIV disclosure is recommended before integrating the adolescents into group activities. ▸ Include sexual and reproductive health in the package of care. Health workers and peers must be trained to address the specific concerns of adolescents. ▸ Recognize peers are an important asset to conveying messages and sharing positive experiences. While peers are useful actors in the management of teens, they should not be solely responsible for managing the cases of adolescents failing on treatment. ▸ Perform a viral load (VL) every six months for this vulnerable age group. Point-of-care VL, with same-day results, permits a rapid management of the unsuppressed patients, and requires logistic organization in rural contexts. ▸ Utilize a multidisciplinary team – clinicians, counsellors, psychologists, social workers, and peers – to address the complex situations faced by some adolescents.

Full text
Abstract:
As a leading funder of global health programs, the United States has the power to make a tremendous impact on people’s sexual and reproductive health and rights. But restrictions on funding that target abortion care internationally have had broad, detrimental impacts on reproductive health care systems, advocacy and outcomes. Such is the case with the so-called global gag rule, a policy that conditions US global health assistance on nongovernmental organizations’ agreement not to provide or promote abortion. Our multiyear research study in Uganda and Ethiopia examines the impact of this policy in two countries that rely on US assistance for their family planning programs but where the legal context around abortion differs—highly restrictive in Uganda and liberal in Ethiopia. Until now, no research has fully captured the effects of the most recent implementation of the global gag rule, which, during the four-year Trump administration, was the greatest expansion of the policy in its history. The research shows how, in both countries, the gag rule stalled and even reversed progress toward expanded access to modern contraception, impacting the countries’ reproductive health outcomes, the ability of people to decide whether and when to have children, and overall bodily autonomy. Abortion care cannot be separated from reproductive health care; evidence clearly demonstrates that the US government’s attempts to limit abortion care through the gag rule also limit access to other essential sexual and reproductive health services. Although the gag rule is currently not in effect, the risk of an anti-abortion president reinstating and expanding the gag rule and causing significant harm to reproductive health progress globally remains. And even after the gag rule is rescinded, its effects persist. The time for a permanent end to the global gag rule is now.

Full text
Abstract:
Many people living with HIV who need antiretroviral therapy are unable to access or remain in care. This is often because of the time and cost required to travel to health centres. One strategy to address this problem is to move antiretroviral delivery from hospitals to more peripheral health facilities or even beyond health facilities. This could increase the number of people with access to care, enhance retention in treatment programmes, improve health outcomes and reduce costs to people living with HIV and AIDS and health services. However, there are some concerns about the quality of decentralised care and whether health outcomes are equivalent to more centralised care.

Abstract:
The HIV epidemic may threaten the health workforce by imposing heavier workloads and increasing complexity of care; by exposing health workers and other workers living with HIV and AIDS to tuberculosis (TB) and other infectious diseases; and through the psychological stress placed on health workers who have to administer care. HIV and AIDS may also have substantial impacts on the workforce in sectors other than health. Workplace programmes aim to improve access for health workers and other workers to HIV prevention, treatment and support.

Full text
Abstract:
Veterans often struggle to access affordable, high-quality dental care. Only 15% of veterans are eligible for dental care through the Veterans Affairs health care system. With the 2018 MISSION Act, Veterans Affairs (VA) expanded access to care for veterans through the Community Care Network (CCN). The CCN comprises six regional networks that serve as the contract vehicle for the VA to finance care for veterans from community providers like federally qualified health centers (FQHCs). This compendium was developed by the American Institute of Dental Public Health (AIDPH) in collaboration with NATIONAL NETWORK FOR ORAL HEALTH ACCESS (NNOHA) to identify frameworks for emerging, promising, and best practices in veteran oral health by highlighting innovative care delivery programs across the U.S. AIDPH and NNOHA solicited information from veteran-centric oral health programs that provided clinical dental care to veterans. An expert panel reviewed, scored, and categorized each program submission as an emerging, promising, or best practice model within three categories: patient recruitment, clinical care delivery, and community engagement. The final 14 submissions are included in this compendium to be reviewed, replicated, and implemented for veteran oral health care.

Full text
Abstract:
This case study engages with the journey of SNEHA (Society for Nutrition, Education and Health Action), a public health non-profit organization founded in Mumbai in 1999. India has the distinction of being witness to a long history of efforts by public-spirited healthcare professionals. Alongside treatment, their work in public health has consistently involved giving due emphasis to prevention, reducing the excessive reliance on institutional-led public health delivery, moving towards community-based approaches and giving considerable attention to maternal and child health, the bedrock of any sound public health system. The efforts of SNEHA (which means “love” or “affection”) in developing, expanding and adapting this approach amongst some of the world’s largest and dense poor and low-income urban settlements in India constitutes an important part of this history. Started with little funding, in a little over two decades, it now oversees over Rs. 29 crores of funds; and its programs, which started as small pilot projects to gather evidence, have evolved into large interventions drawing in many individuals and institutions along the way. Public health, unlike many other spaces of developmental interventions, demands balancing affordability, quality care and credibility with little margin for error. The case engages with the ways in which intentional evolutions to its practice have allowed SNEHA to grow, in full public glare, in a rapidly urbanizing agglomeration. The case also offers an opportunity for learners to reflect on how SNEHA’s organizational culture of appreciative inquiry and its adoption of technology have enabled it to hold together a team of 500 staff and over 6,000 volunteers; and how community-based models can overcome the shortage of full-time medical professionals in a resource-constrained to deliver consistently high standards of care.
