Abstract:
At first glance, American health care policy represents a paradox. The United States steadily advances the frontiers of biomedical research and sophisticated clinical techniques, and it possesses a burgeoning health services industry. In fact, America devotes the largest single share of its gross national product to the purchase of health care, on which it spends twice as much per capita as does any other country.

Abstract:
PurposeTo uncover the major government constraints to enactment and implementation of public health-targeted climate change adaptation (CCA) strategies in order to equip public health stakeholders and health advocates with the knowledge resources necessary to more effectively mobilize and support CCA for public health responses at the national level.Design/methodology/approachA mixed-methods online survey was distributed to the representatives of national public health associations and societies of 82 countries. The survey comprised 15 questions assessing national progress on CCA for public health and the effects of various institutional, economic/financial, technical and sociopolitical barriers on national adaptive capacity.FindingsSurvey responses from 11 countries indicated that national commitments to CCA for public health have increased markedly since prior assessments but significant shortcomings remain. The largest apparent barriers to progress in this domain were poor government coordination, lack of political will and inadequate adaptation finances.Originality/valueThis study is unique in relation to the prior literature on the topic in that it effectively captures an array of country-specific yet cross-cutting adaptation constraints across diverse national contexts. With a deepened understanding of the major determinants of national adaptive capacity, international actors can devise more effective, evidence-informed strategies to support national governments in responding to the health impacts of climate change.

Abstract:
Background: In 2001 a number of limitations and inconsistencies were noted in the Peruvian national health system. In addition to long-standing structural issues, challenges emerged related to social determinants of health as well as health workers’ attitudes and skills. Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to describe some of the national health policy changes that the Ministry of Health of Peru considered necessary in 2002 to address the prevailing challenges and the particular implementation of such policies. Methods: The formulation of the desired national health policy changes were based on critical readings of the pertinent scientific literature, the collation of national health policy experience, and consultations with Ministry officers and recognized national experts. Results: The thrust of the national health policy changes, involving the crucial relationship between service providers and users resulting from such process was summarized by the dictum “Persons Caring for Persons” (In Spanish, “Personas que Atendemos Personas”). In order to extend the impact of this policy dictum, it was decided to inscribe it right under the Ministry’s name on the façade or frontispiece of the Ministry’s central building in Lima, the capital of Peru. Discussion: The focus of health care on persons was based on well considered Peruvian and international experience, particularly those maturing at the World Health Organization since the Alma Ata Declaration. The dictum “Persons Caring for Persons” has remained present in national health discussions as well as on the frontispiece of the Ministry’s central building across several changes in national political leadership over the past 13 years. Conclusions: The policy statement “Persons Caring for Persons”, reflects well considered national experience and wisdom, consistent with growing international aspirations. Its endurance over many years calls for renewed efforts to deepen such perspectives towards greater respect for human rights and the full humanization of health care and social life.

Abstract:
The influence of national health level in the stability and sustainable development of national society is increasingly prominent. The purpose of this study is to examine whether, when, and how national fitness policies exert influence on national health. Panel data from 2008 to 2017 of 30 Chinese provinces (cities) (except the Tibet autonomous region) were used to systematically reveal the direct impact of national fitness policies on national health and its characteristics in different regions, as well as the interaction mechanisms of human capital and finance health expenditures in public sports. This study found that first, national fitness policies had a positive effect on adult health. Second, sports human capital weakens the health effect of national fitness policies, while public finance health expenditures strengthen this effect. Lastly, the health effect of national fitness policies varies significantly across regions due to uneven regional economic development, and the differences in the effects on different age groups (adults and children) are equally pronounced. This study suggests that national fitness public service system and diverse national fitness plans improving national health level are important for a new dynamic balance and high quality coordinated development in both Chinese economic growth and social welfare.

Abstract:
Each decade since 1979, the Healthy People initiative establishes the national prevention agenda and provides the foundation for disease prevention and health promotion policies and programs. Law and policy have been included in Healthy People objectives from the start, but not integrated into the overall initiative as well as possible to potentially leverage change to meet Healthy People targets and goals. This article provides background on the Healthy People initiative and its use among various stakeholder groups, describes the work of a project aiming to better integrate law and policy into this initiative, and discusses the development of Healthy People 2030 — the next iteration of health goals for the nation. Lessons from the preliminary stages of developing Healthy People by the HHS Secretary's Advisory Committee (Committee) on National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives for 2030 and a Federal Interagency Workgroup will be included. Efforts by the Committee focused on the role of law and policy as determinants of health and valuable resources around health equity are also shared. Finally, the article discusses ways that law and policy can potentially be tools to help meet Healthy People targets and to attain national health goals.

Abstract:
The article deals with strategic documents created at the regional level in the context of their relevance to the implementation of the national health policy and their relevance to the solution of the inequalities among regions in access to primary care. The aim of this contribution is to map and evaluate the activity of regions in terms of their conceptual activities related to the establishment of regional policy objectives for the 2010-2015 period. The implementation of the national health policy (i.e. the “Health 21” and “Health 2020” programs) is examined in the context of the regional conceptual activities. The obtained results show that the conceptual activities of regions in the area related to health care differ significantly. While some regional development programs devote only a few pages to healthcare issues, other regions create comprehensive concepts of health care. With the measurement of inequalities, we indicate the regions that are underserved with healthcare services, of which only the Ústí nad Labem region shows the plan to dealt with this disadvantage in its strategic health plan.

Abstract:
IntroductionSince 2009, China has initiated a national program on free provision of essential public health services. The national program has expanded both in terms of service categories and funding, showing China's great commitment to universal health coverage. However, with slowdown of public input in the health sector, the government decided to prioritize interventions and optimize reimbursement packages. Researchers in the China National Health Development Research Center (CNHDRC)—the Chinese national health technology assessment (HTA) agency were asked to design the tools to facilitate the decision process.MethodsWith multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) method, the researchers analyzed value dimensions in public health issues, and built an evidence matrix for the priority-setting decisions. Supported by HTA tools, they appraised interventions and services through literature review and field studies, and projected budget impact of potential adjustment decisions based on cost analysis results. A deliberative process of key stakeholder groups was taken, and their views were counted in making the final recommendations.ResultsBased on evidence review and scores of stakeholders’ judgment, two public health service interventions were recommended for removal, and another two for adjustment (one for merger, one for optimizing care pathway). Cost estimation and potential budgetary impact were also analyzed to support financial decisions.ConclusionsHTA and MCDA are key tools for defining the value criteria, evidence framework, and deliberative process for the essential public health program. However, lack of cost-effectiveness evidence hinders fine-tuned decisions on resource allocation. Continual health economic evaluation needs to be conducted in the near future.

Abstract:
Although the federal government has long had an interest in the health of children, action in support of this interest has been limited, fragmented, and inequitable. While health problems are increasing and becoming more complex and while policy leaders, business groups, and the public recognize that action is necessary, no response has been forthcoming. Development of a policy with measurable goals is needed. Resources must be allocated and data collected to periodically evaluate progress toward goals and to appropriately redirect resources.

Abstract:
Resumo O presente artigo problematiza o vínculo político entre a construção do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) e a comunicação. Compreendendo a comunicação como um campo dos direitos da cidadania pouco desenvolvido no Brasil, trabalhamos com a hipótese de que a presença de um oligopólio midiático no sistema de telecomunicações e jornalismo constrange a formação democrática de um juízo público sobre o SUS afetando a relação de forças que disputam os rumos do sistema. Partindo da análise de pesquisas de opinião e de estudos sobre a cobertura do SUS pela mídia nacional, argumentamos que a comunicação consiste em um determinante político central à construção de uma base social de apoio ao SUS e superação dos impasses identificados pela literatura. Concluímos que a relação entre comunicação, política e democracia traz para o SUS o desafio de disputar no cotidiano dos cidadãos e cidadãs brasileiros a formação de uma consciência pública sanitária, conforme colocado por Giovanni Berlinguer ao nascente movimento da Reforma Sanitária brasileira nos anos 1970.

Abstract:
A new organization called Physician's for a National Health Program (PNHP) is mobilizing physician support for a universal, comprehensive public system of health care for the United States. Recent changes in power relations within medicine (the so-called proletarianization of physicians) are prodding many physicians to abandon their traditional reactionary role in health policy. PNHP is working with elderly, labor, community, and health care activist groups to put a national health program (NHP) back on the U.S. health policy agenda. In this article, five key features of an NHP needed to simultaneously assure access, control costs, and minimize bureaucracy are noted.

Abstract:
Purpose – Unlike other health professions, there has historically been no licensing, registration, or certification of public health practitioners to demonstrate their qualification to the public and employers. The purpose of this paper is to outline the rationale for developing public health workforce certification, describes the certification process developed by the National Board of Public Health Examiners (NBPHE), and explains how it is affecting public health education and practice. Design/methodology/approach – This paper is a narrative review from records of NBPHE. Findings – The Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health commissioned a formal study of health worker credentialing in 1989 and created a task force in 1999 to determine the need for public health credentialing. Based on input from public health leaders and stakeholders, the NBPHE was formed in 2005 to offer the Certified in Public Health (CPH) examination. The first CPH examination was administered in 2008. Uptake of the CPH was strong the first year (693 examinees), dropped by nearly half (369 examinees) in the second year, and then increased each year through 2015. Part of the increase may be due to eligibility revisions for taking the CPH examination. Eligibility for taking the CPH examination was revised in 2010 to include graduate students in public health and in 2015 to include candidates with a bachelor degree from any field and at least five years of work experience in public health. The NBPHE is piloting open professional eligibility for candidates with no formal education in public health and at least five year’s public health work experience. Schools and programs of public health accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) view the CPH examination as a useful tool in curriculum assessment and improvement and for maintaining CEPH accreditation. Several schools and programs of public health have begun requiring all graduate students to take the CPH examination. The CPH credential is also increasingly being used as a hiring factor among employers. Originality/value – NBPHE’s CPH credential is unique in the world. Foreign students graduating with American public health degrees have been taking the exam before returning to leadership roles in their own country. The CPH program described can serve as a model for other nations.

Abstract:
Throughout the world, laws play an important role in shaping population health. Law making is an intervention with measurable effects yet often unfolds without evaluation or monitoring. Policy surveillance—the systematic, scientific collection and analysis of laws of public health significance—can help bridge this gap by capturing important features of law in numeric form in structured longitudinal data sets. Currently deployed primarily in high-income countries, methods for cross-national policy surveillance hold significant promise, particularly given the growing quality and accessibility of global health data. Global policy surveillance can enable comparative research on the implementation and health impact of laws, their spread, and their political determinants. Greater transparency of status and trends in law supports health policy advocacy and promotes public accountability. Collecting, coding, and analyzing laws across countries presents numerous challenges—especially in low-resource settings. With insights from comparative politics and law, we suggest methods to address those challenges. We describe how longitudinal legal data have been used in limited, but important, ways for cross-national analysis and propose incorporating global policy surveillance into core global public health practice.
