Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute
The document discusses health care reforms and the evolution of health care systems. It covers objectives of health care reforms such as expanding coverage and access to care. A major goal is providing better health care protection for more people at lower cost. Issues discussed include unequal distribution of health care resources between rural and urban areas, difficulties accessing care due to geographic, socioeconomic and gender factors, and how economic inequality affects health outcomes. The growth of the private health care sector is also addressed as adding to social inequities in access to affordable, quality care.
Health Insurance in Nepal aims to ensure access to quality healthcare without financial hardship. The program began in 2016 and has since expanded to 49 districts. Members pay an annual premium of NRs. 2500-3500 for a family of 5. Benefits include coverage of up to NRs. 100,000 per family per year. Stakeholders provide both support and criticisms, citing issues around awareness, enrollment rates, benefit packages, and quality of care. Expanding the program, improving facilities, and addressing concerns will help achieve universal health coverage in Nepal.

A brief on Indian Healthcare and the challenges faced by healthcare in India. Expected growth trend of Indian healthcare till 2020. Challenges faced in the growth of Indian healthcare.
The document summarizes healthcare reforms in India and their implementation. It discusses the key components of the health system and health sector reforms. Major reforms included reorganizing and restructuring the existing healthcare system, involving communities in health system delivery, establishing a health management information system, and focusing on quality of care. Key national health missions addressed in the reforms were the National Rural Health Mission and National Urban Health Mission. Five Year Plans from the 8th to 12th Plans shifted policies to encourage private sector initiatives, prioritize primary healthcare, address issues of equity, and work towards universal health coverage. Effective health sector reforms require increased public spending on health, regulating the private sector, risk pooling, and strengthening health management information systems.
This document defines and outlines the objectives and components of a health information management system (HIMS). A HIMS is a mechanism for collecting, processing, analyzing, and transmitting health-related information needed to organize and operate health services, conduct research, and provide training. The primary objectives of a HIMS are to provide reliable and up-to-date health information to managers at all levels, enable technical information sharing among health personnel, and provide periodic data on health service performance and trends. Key components of a HIMS include demography, health status, health resources, service utilization rates, and health outcomes. Important uses of HIMS data include measuring population health problems, facilitating health planning and management, assessing health service effectiveness and efficiency,

Unit 1 - Health Services (BPH 306.1 - HSMN) Part 4Dipesh Tikhatri
This document discusses the history and development of integrated health services in Nepal. It notes that early health services focused on curative care, but later began integrating preventive aspects as well. During the 1970s, vertical health projects were established for specific diseases but had issues with duplication and coordination. This led to the concept of integrated health services being developed in the late 1960s by WHO and USAID. Pilot integrated health projects were launched in the 1970s, and full integration of districts was completed by 1990. The strengths of integrated services include providing basic care through a single system and increasing efficiency, while weaknesses include overburdened staff and lack of integrated knowledge.

The document discusses the roles and responsibilities of various health organizations in Nepal, including the Ministry of Health and Population, Department of Health Services, regional health directorates, and provincial health directorates under the new federal system. The key responsibilities include formulating health policies, planning and implementing health programs, managing health facilities and resources, coordinating stakeholders, and expanding access to quality health services.
This document discusses universal health coverage (UHC), which aims to provide access to good quality health services for all members of a society while protecting people from financial hardship due to health costs. UHC can be defined by who and what services are covered and how much of the cost is covered. The WHO defines UHC as access to effective health services without financial hardship. Achieving UHC requires an efficient health system providing services, workers, and medicines to the population as well as a financing system to protect people from health costs. Various funding models like compulsory insurance, tax-based financing, and social health insurance can be used. Egypt has both public and private healthcare sectors working towards UHC.
The document discusses comprehensive primary health care (CPHC) through Ayushman Bharat - Health and Wellness Centers (AB-HWCs) in India. It notes that while health indicators have improved, the disease burden is shifting and out-of-pocket healthcare expenses remain high. The government has launched Ayushman Bharat to deliver preventative, promotive and comprehensive primary care through upgrading subcenters and primary health centers. The program aims to address the full disease burden, reduce expenses, and ensure continuum of care through a holistic primary healthcare approach based on principles like equitable access, community participation, appropriate resources and a multi-sectoral effort.
The document outlines several key challenges facing Sri Lanka's health system, including an increasing burden of non-communicable diseases due to an aging population and epidemiological transition. Emerging infectious diseases like dengue and COVID-19 also present challenges. Funding shortages constrain health sector development as most funds are spent on recurring costs rather than capital projects. There are issues with uneven distribution of healthcare workers, lack of continuous training programs, and overcrowding of secondary and tertiary hospitals due to direct access without proper referrals. Trade union interventions also pose problems for health sector reforms.
Every woman, man, youth and child has the human right to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health, without discrimination of any kind. Enjoyment of the human right to health is vital to all aspects of a person's life and well-being, and is crucial to the realization of many other fundamental human rights and freedoms.
Difference on public health administration and public health managementNeelam suwal
Public health management focuses on optimal allocation of health resources and services to improve population health outcomes. It manages health programs and patient care using health outcomes measures. Public health administration concentrates on human resources, finances, communications, and policy implementation. It formulates policy and objectives and carries out legislative functions, making decisions influenced by internal factors. Public health management applies to for-profit health organizations, while public health administration governs service-related organizations like government health agencies. Management requires technical skills, overseeing overall facility operations. Administration demands administrative qualities, managing staff and human resources within departments. Management is performed by middle and lower levels, while administration is done at the top organizational level.

The Current Condition of Mental Health in Afghanistan: Integrating Mental Health into Primary Healthcare
Nahid Aziz, Argosy University
CORE Group Spring Meeting, April 29, 2010
Health care reform in India is handled by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, which consists of three departments: Health, Family Welfare, and AYUSH. The goal of health care reform is to make health care more accessible and available to all citizens by providing universal health coverage, decreasing costs, and improving access and quality. However, India faces challenges in reforming its health care system due to issues like a lack of infrastructure and medical professionals in rural areas, as well as underfunding and malnutrition among parts of the population. Overall reforms are needed to make the health care system more inclusive, preventive-focused, and sustainable over the long term.

Alison McFadden, Senior Research Fellow, Director, Mother and Infant Research Unit, School of Nursing and Health Sciences, University of Dundee and Anna Gavine, Research Fellow School of Nursing and Health Sciences, University of Dundee will be leading the session and presenting findings from their recent Cochrane review:
McFadden A, Gavine A, Renfrew M, Wade A, Buchanan P, Taylor J, et al. (2017). Support for healthy breastfeeding mothers with healthy term babies . Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2017(2), CD001141.
Evidence suggests that not breastfeeding negatively impacts the health of both infants and mothers. Additionally, data demonstrates an inadequate uptake of the World Health Organization’s recommendations regarding type and duration of breastfeeding in many countries. This review examines the impact of breastfeeding support interventions on breastfeeding duration and exclusivity in healthy breastfeeding mothers with healthy term babies, compared to usual care. One-hundred trials with over 83,246 mother-infant pairs were included in this review. Seventy-three of the one-hundred trials were involved in the data analyses. Findings suggest that breastfeeding support interventions reduce cessation of ‘any breastfeeding’ before 4 to 6 weeks and 6 months, and cessation of ‘exclusive breastfeeding’ at 4 to 6 weeks and at 6 months. This webinar will provide an overview of the impact of support on breastfeeding duration and exclusivity in healthy breastfeeding mothers with healthy term babies.

Community engagement in public health interventions for disadvantaged groups:...Health Evidence™
Health Evidence hosted a 60 minute webinar examining the effectiveness of community engagement in public health interventions for disadvantaged groups. Click here for access to the audio recording for this webinar: https://youtu.be/tUZ-u7QbMCY.
Alison O'Mara-Eves, Senior Researcher, University College London, EPPI-Centre and Ginny Brunton, Senior Health Researcher, University College London, EPPI-Centre presented findings from their review:
O'Mara-Eves A., Brunton G., Oliver S., Kavanagh J., Jamal F., & Thomas J. (2015). The effectiveness of community engagement in public health interventions for disadvantaged groups: A meta-analysis . BMC Public Health, 15, 129.
Community engagement is becoming an increasingly popular component included in the development and implementation of public health interventions. Involved community members take on roles that range from merely being informed, to being consulted, to collaborating or leading on the design, delivery and evaluation of public health strategies. This review examines the use of public health interventions with a community engagement component, particularly for its use in reducing health inequities among disadvantaged populations. Findings of the review suggest community engagement in public health interventions has an effect on several health outcomes, including health behaviours and self-efficacy. This webinar will examine the effectiveness and components of public health interventions that include community engagement and the impact on health outcomes.

Day 2 panel 2 integrating demand and supply tz 108023ea-imcha
This project aims to improve access to health services and quality of care for mothers and children in Tanzania through an implementation research study. The study is being conducted in two districts of Iringa Region in Tanzania by a research team led by the University of Dar es Salaam in collaboration with HealthBridge Foundation of Canada. The project involves integrating demand and supply side interventions through women's groups and health facility quality improvement committees. Baseline data collection was completed in 2016 and endline evaluation is planned for 2019. Key findings from baseline include transportation costs as a barrier to care and poor provider attitudes negatively impacting quality of care. The project is ongoing with monthly women's group meetings and health facility quality improvement meetings planned for 2017.

The document discusses using the PEARL framework to prioritize health problems and allocate resources. It involves rating health problems based on criteria like propriety, economics, acceptability, resources, and legality. Priority scores are then calculated using a formula that considers the size, seriousness and effectiveness of interventions for each health problem. The health problems are then ranked based on their priority scores to help determine where to focus resources.
สไลด์บรรยาย "Health literacy for NCDs prevention and control" ของป๊าในงาน Prince Mahidol Award Conference (PMAC) 30 มกราคม 2562 ที่โรงแรม Central World
The document provides a case study of the primary health care system in Thailand. It details the development of Thailand's PHC system over time, from establishment of the "village health volunteer" program in the 1960s to recent universal health coverage reforms. The study examines Thailand's PHC-related governance, financing, human resources, planning and implementation processes. It finds that Thailand has achieved universal health coverage through a mixed single-payer and social health insurance system that relies on primary care services as the foundation of care. However, ongoing challenges include physician shortages in rural areas and a need to strengthen regulatory and monitoring systems to better support PHC delivery.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.
8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
