- Universal health coverage (UHC) aims to ensure all people receive essential health services without financial hardship. This includes equitable access to promotion, prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care.
- Key challenges to achieving UHC include half the world's population lacking full coverage of essential health services and over 800 million people spending over 10% of household budgets on health care.
- India aims to achieve UHC through programs like Ayushman Bharat which establishes health and wellness centers and provides insurance coverage for secondary and tertiary care through Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY).
The World Health Organization was founded on the principle of universal health coverage and achieving the highest level of health for all people. World Health Day on April 7th aims to inspire and guide countries toward achieving universal health coverage through a series of events in 2018. Currently half the world's population lacks access to needed health services, and countries need to extend coverage to one billion more people by 2023 to meet global targets. World Health Day will highlight the need for universal coverage and benefits it provides.

In the community in Florida many people are infected by the chronic illness hypertension is a common disease cholesterol, fatigues, and stress. Patients are major risks cardiovascular, stokes, and leading causes of death, respectively in the community. In 2016, 80,722 deaths were caused by high blood pressures. In 2014, high blood pressures were five times more deaths than it was in 2016. Hypertension has referred to high blood pressures. Hypertension is a big major cause of premature death worldwide (Benjamin, 2016).
Hypertension very often had no signs or symptoms. Once the primary care doctor has diagnosed the patient had high blood pressures as a medication. Patients can lower their blood pressures by changing their diet, and exercises. In 2015-2016, in the communities 1/3 patients have controlled high blood pressures. 2017, recent revised guidelines more than one patient have unknown or undiagnosed if they have high blood pressures. In 2016, the total costs directed for high blood pressures were $54.8 billion. It’s projected for the year 2035, the total costs will be reach $221.8 billion. I’ll suggest implementing public health to have more programs to help to reduce the hypertension problems. Healthcare providers have provided more information, have classes for the patient, and show them how to eat, have nutrition in the clinic or private doctor offices to reduce mortality. (Benjanmin, 2016).Florida, adults ages 18-39; 45 to 79, nearly half of patients can .
This document discusses personalized medicine and public health as currently practiced. It argues that while personalized medicine aims to tailor treatments to individuals, it does not focus enough on prevention. Population health approaches also have limitations and are failing to adequately predict and prevent worsening health trends. The document proposes that a cross-generational collaboration model using wireless health technologies could help communities better track health behaviors and recognize adverse trends early enough to implement course corrections. This could help improve outcomes compared to traditional approaches.
An outbreak of mumps has occurred in northeast Ohio with hundreds of cases reported. Mumps is a contagious viral disease spread through direct contact or respiratory droplets. It causes fever, headache and swelling of the parotid glands. While most cases resolve within 10 days, complications can include meningitis, orchitis and deafness. Public health officials are coordinating a response between local, state and federal agencies to conduct surveillance of cases, track contacts and communicate with the public about risks, especially to vulnerable populations like university students. Ethical considerations around balancing individual rights with public health needs will be important in containment efforts.

This document discusses patient-oriented approaches and modernization of public health care. It proposes taking a patient-oriented approach when designing prenatal exercise interventions that addresses barriers and facilitators identified by patients. It also discusses how modernization of public health care systems through technologies like telehealth, mobile apps, and natural language processing can help address challenges like heart disease, HIV, and opioid overdoses more effectively. Modernization has increased life expectancy and makes public health care a critical part of people's daily lives.
Global health is an emerging field that draws from public health and international health. While these fields share similarities like a focus on populations and prevention, global health is distinct in that it addresses health issues that transcend national borders and involve multiple countries and disciplines. The document presents a definition of global health agreed upon by an international panel as "an area for study, research, and practice that places a priority on improving health and achieving equity in health for all people worldwide." It emphasizes transnational health problems and solutions, an interdisciplinary approach, and a balance of population-based prevention and individual clinical care.
The document summarizes Nancy Milio's framework for prevention, which aims to explain the connection between individual and community health. It discusses the four levels of prevention - primordial, primary, secondary, and tertiary. The primordial level addresses systemic determinants of health before risk factors emerge. The primary level prevents disease before occurrence by addressing exposures. The secondary level uses early detection to prevent disease from occurring through screening programs. The tertiary level aims to soften the long-term impact of disease or injury through management programs.

This document provides an introduction to global health. It defines global health as health problems that transcend national boundaries and are best addressed through international cooperation. It discusses reasons for interest in global health like moral duty. It also examines problems in global health like limited resources, uncoordinated efforts, and lack of stable leadership. Key factors for the future include expanding the talent pool in developing countries and improving health infrastructure. The document outlines several global health issues and discusses the disciplines involved in addressing global health challenges.
This document summarizes a seminar given by Rachel Nugent on the links between agriculture and health. Some key points from the seminar include:
- The relationship between agriculture and health has focused on issues like pesticide exposure, food safety, and how nutrition interventions can impact development.
- Recent conferences and projects have sought to broaden the view to consider the full range of agricultural and health outcomes.
- Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) impose large health and economic burdens globally, especially in low and middle income countries. Dietary risks are major contributors to NCDs independently of obesity.
- There is a need for more research on the quality and measurement of diets, food reform
PEPFAR was reauthorized with some key wins but also opportunities for future advocacy. It will provide treatment for 3 million people, prevent 12 million HIV infections, and care for 10 million over 5 years. However, 5 people still become infected for every 2 treated, so $50 billion is needed to meet goals. Future advocacy opportunities include strengthening health systems and the workforce, recognizing the feminization of HIV, and ensuring science-based prevention for at-risk groups like injection drug users and men who have sex with men.
This document describes a health anxiety questionnaire used to measure levels of health-related concern. The 21-item Health Anxiety Questionnaire addresses four factors: health worry and preoccupation, fear of illness and death, reassurance-seeking behavior, and interference with life. Participants rate how often they have been bothered by each statement in the past week. Scores are calculated by adding responses on a 4-point Likert scale. Cluster and factor analyses found the four factors to be significantly intercorrelated and to load onto distinct factors.

Discuss how you feel nurses can positively impact the Healthy people 2020 goals.
Healthy people 2020 has many goals. I feel nurses can greatly impact the healthy people 2020 goals by first teaching patients about prevention. Healthy people goals for global health is one of those preventions. “Improve public health and strengthen U.S. national security through global disease detection, response, prevention, and control strategies.” Disease detection starts with well check-ups with your primary care physician. Nursing strategies include educating patients on the importance of keeping check-up appointments. Any chronic illness to be assessed and any new information to be given to patient verbally or written materials given to patient.
Secondly, we as nurses can introduce health promotion. Healthy people 2020 in immunizations and infectious disease goals, “Increase immunization rates and reduce preventable infectious diseases.” Floor nurses can educate patients before discharge on influenzas, pneumonia, or shingles vaccine. We in the cancer center as nurses give handouts on neutropenia symptoms and how to prevent infection (we have many patients that are or become neutropenic). We handout thermometers and give face masks to our patients. According to NIH.gov, “Nurses must have an evidence-based understanding of the significant effect that can be made through health promotion interventions and communicate this understanding to the public at large. As more people grow in their awareness of activities that lead to good health and become knowledgeable about their own health status and the health of their families, the overall health of the population will improve.” At my hospital where I work we have health screening fairs a few times a year. Other hospitals around our town offer that as well.
According to my current other class Caring for the Community in week 2 it discusses the first level of prevention which is primary prevention. “This is conventional prevention—preventing an undesirable thing from happening. It includes efforts at immunization, nutrition teaching, and education about modes of transmission of communicable disease. For example, encouraging people to protect themselves from the sun's ultraviolet rays is an example of primary prevention of skin cancer. Other examples in primary prevention include well baby clinics, HIV community education efforts, and programs that discourage substance abuse. In the community, this may involve fitness events, water fluoridation, or even efforts to install sidewalks near schools.”

The document discusses immunization and infectious diseases. The main goals are to increase immunization rates and reduce preventable infectious diseases. Immunization works by stimulating the body's natural defenses to recognize and attack specific bacteria or viruses. This helps prevent disease or reduce severity if exposed. While vaccines have reduced many diseases, some remain issues and new threats may emerge. Maintaining surveillance and immunization programs is important for protecting public health.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
