1-A-Define the health system and describe the functions and elements of healt...NeerajOjha17
The document defines a health system as the organization of people, institutions, and resources that deliver health care services to meet the needs of target populations. It describes key elements of health systems including primary health care, public health measures, various providers, and the goals of promoting health, being responsive to populations, and fair financing. The health system of Nepal is composed of public health sectors, private sectors, indigenous medical systems, voluntary health agencies, and national health programs.
This document discusses different models of healthcare systems around the world. It describes four main models: the Bismarck model used in Germany and other countries, where private insurance plans are regulated by the government; the Beveridge model used in the UK with government-provided and tax-funded healthcare; the National Health Insurance model used in Canada with a universal government-run insurance program; and the out-of-pocket model used in many developing countries where most cannot afford medical care. The document then examines the healthcare systems of several countries in more depth and discusses challenges facing Nepal's system.
This document summarizes the historical eras of health systems development (HSD) in Nepal. It is divided into 3 sections: ancient, medieval, and modern eras. During the ancient era, some early health practices are mentioned from historical texts. In the medieval era, King Pratap Malla established an Ayurvedic dispensary. Christian missionaries introduced modern medicine in the 1600s but were later expelled. The modern era saw the establishment of hospitals by British residents and throughout the Rana period. Many hospitals and health programs were developed in the post-democracy period from the 1950s onward.

Nigeria contracted with four American companies to purchase huge quantities of cement to build infrastructure, but later overbought and was unable to accept delivery. Nigeria sought to avoid liability by claiming sovereign immunity. The court must determine if Nigeria can invoke sovereign immunity by looking to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 and considering reason, precedent, and equity. The facts of the four appeals are similar - Nigeria signed substantially similar contracts with each company in 1975 to purchase cement but later instructed the bank not to pay under the letters of credit unless an additional document was provided.

1-A-Define the health system and describe the functions and elements of healt...NeerajOjha17
The document defines a health system as the organization of people, institutions, and resources that deliver health care services to meet the needs of target populations. It describes key elements of health systems including primary health care, public health measures, various providers, and the goals of promoting health, being responsive to populations, and fair financing. The health system of Nepal is composed of public health sectors, private sectors, indigenous medical systems, voluntary health agencies, and national health programs.
This document discusses different models of healthcare systems around the world. It describes four main models: the Bismarck model used in Germany and other countries, where private insurance plans are regulated by the government; the Beveridge model used in the UK with government-provided and tax-funded healthcare; the National Health Insurance model used in Canada with a universal government-run insurance program; and the out-of-pocket model used in many developing countries where most cannot afford medical care. The document then examines the healthcare systems of several countries in more depth and discusses challenges facing Nepal's system.
This document summarizes the historical eras of health systems development (HSD) in Nepal. It is divided into 3 sections: ancient, medieval, and modern eras. During the ancient era, some early health practices are mentioned from historical texts. In the medieval era, King Pratap Malla established an Ayurvedic dispensary. Christian missionaries introduced modern medicine in the 1600s but were later expelled. The modern era saw the establishment of hospitals by British residents and throughout the Rana period. Many hospitals and health programs were developed in the post-democracy period from the 1950s onward.
The document outlines the bylaws of the Nepali Media Alliance (NMA), USA, which was formed to provide training and mentoring to Nepalese diaspora media professionals in the US. Some key points:

- The mission is to promote journalistic quality, freedom of speech and press while fostering relationships among journalists and society.
- Membership is open to those who support the purpose and requires paying annual dues. General meetings and elections will be held annually.
- A Board of Directors of 7-29 members will manage affairs and meet
Nigeria contracted with four American companies to purchase huge quantities of cement to build infrastructure, but later overbought and was unable to accept delivery. Nigeria sought to avoid liability by claiming sovereign immunity. The court must determine if Nigeria can invoke sovereign immunity by looking to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 and considering reason, precedent, and equity. The facts of the four appeals are similar - Nigeria signed substantially similar contracts with each company in 1975 to purchase cement but later instructed the bank not to pay under the letters of credit unless an additional document was provided.
This document contains the responses of Barsha Moktan, a Nepalese-American dentist, to various questions about her background, career goals, views on social issues, and advice for others. Some of her key points are: she is pursuing her career as a dentist while representing Nepali culture as a Miss Nepal USA finalist; her long-term goal is to work for underserved communities in Nepal; and she believes that embracing one's identity and following one's dreams are important for success as a Nepalese-American.

RE: Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, First Employment-Based
Preference (EB-1) Alien with Extraordinary Ability as a Broadcast
Journalist/Media Personality
Petitioner/Beneficiary: GHOSH, Mampi
Dear Adjudicating Officer,
This supporting letter is respectfully submitted in support of Petitioner/beneficiary’s
Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, First Employment Preference (EB-1),
Alien with Extraordinary Ability pursuant to § 203(b)(1)(A) of the INA and 8 CFR
204.5(h)(3).
8 C.F.R. Part 204 Section 204.5(h) provides that in order to qualify as an alien with
extraordinary ability or any person on behalf of the alien, may file an I-140 visa petition
for classification under section 203(b)(1)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act
(“Act”) as an alien of extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or
athletics. The term “extraordinary ability” means a level of expertise indicating that the
individual is one of the small percentage, who has risen to the very top of the field of his
endeavor.
Under 8 C.F.R. Part 204 Section 204.5(h) (3), a petition for an alien of extraordinary
ability must be accompanied by evidence that the alien has sustained national or

international acclaim and that his achievements have been recognized in the field of
expertise. On the other hand, depending on the nature of the claim, a one-time major
achievement, such as a Nobel Prize, might satisfy this requirement, provided it is
probative of the fact that the alien has reached the summit of his occupation. In the
absence of such a major, internationally recognized award, however, the petitioner may
not rely solely on the alien beneficiary’s past achievements to establish the alien’s
eligibility for classification as an alien of extraordinary ability under section 203(b)(1)(A)
of the INA. As noted in Paragraph (A) of above section, the regulation allows the
petitioner to provide evidence that the alien beneficiary has the requisite sustained
acclaim and recognition by submitting evidence of at least three of the following ten
criteria set forth in 8 C.F.R. Part 204 Section 204.5(h) (3).

Country Office, Commission on the Status of Women- She represented the Nepal
in the 54th
Session of the Commission on the Status of Women and Beijing Review
held in New York, March 12, 2010. Ms. Ghosh was given the honor of working in
this program because of her popularity and considerable women’s rights advocacy
efforts. United Nations Population Fund (“UNFPA”) is an international development
agency that promotes the right of every woman, man and child to enjoy a life of
health and equal opportunity. UNFPA supports countries in using population data for
policies and programs to reduce poverty and to ensure that every pregnancy is
wanted, every birth is safe, every young person is free of HIV, and every girl and
woman is treated with dignity and respect. The importance of gender equality and
women's empowerment to development progress is underscored by the fact that this
was selected as one of the eight Millennium Development Goals. Beyond being a
goal in itself, gender equality is also a driver for all the MDGs, and is intimately
linked and specifically connected to goals to improve maternal and newborn health
and reduce the spread of HIV. UNFPA's gender framework incorporates four
strategic linkages that address critical factors underlying inequalities and rights
violations: girls' education, women's economic empowerment, women's political
participation and the balancing of reproductive and productive roles.

leadership for action on HIV/AIDS in all sectors and all levels of society. It also
identifies new opportunities to engage other leadership that has not been involved in
responding to the AIDS epidemic. The strategy of the APLF is to leverage leadership
within countries, while also undertaking regional activities to complement the
country-level work. Ms Ghosh was nominated and recognized by this forum due to
my reputation as a broadcast journalist and my reproductive health advocacy in
January 2010. Her influence as a youth leader transcends age groups and socio-
economic backgrounds. The forum saw her popularity as an opportunity to utilize
media as an instrument for awareness and education.

Ms. Mampi’s TV show, The Pawankali Show, became the most watched show in
Nepal. I She has presented and broadcasted more than two hundred (200)
television shows and stage programs. Due to such popularity, Ms. Ghosh became
a well-known and reputable celebrity. She has achieved commercial success in the
field of mass communication and broadcast journalism. Please review attached
news articles, letters and recommendations.
Evidence and Explanation: The AAO has established that this criterion is
specifically tailored to the performing arts. Evidence of brief membership in a
commercially successful ensemble will be given little weight. With regard to the
substantial prospective benefit, the AAO has clarified that this requirement is
usually satisfied by evidence that the alien will continue to work in his or her field
upon admission to permanent residence. A number of AAO decisions have also
confirmed that national recognition is sufficient to qualify for EB-1 status and an
alien’s extraordinary ability must be judged by national standards in cases which a
person has not achieved international acclaim. In considering evidence regarding
salary, for example, the USCIS should consider the alien’s salary in relation to
other persons engaged in the same type of activities in the country.
Please also review other evidences submitted in other exhibits which relatively
shows Ms. Mampi Ghosh’s commercial success.
Therefore, 8 C.F.R. §204.5(h) (3)(x) has met.
Intent to Continue Work as a Journalist in the United States:
Ms. Ghosh has identified a specific target audience for her future endeavor in the United
States. The Nepali communities are in need of a comprehensive media project here in the
US. She has put together a talented team of media practitioners and management
20. 20
executives who will be reporting from Washington, D.C., New York, Texas and
California. She plans to produce the media project in the US. A feasible business plan is
in place with the commensurate financial sustainability figures.
She has every expectation that if thoroughly reviewed the outstanding contributions in the
media/mass communication industry as a broadcast journalist will show that she is
capable of providing significant contributions and continuity to the media/mass
communication industry of the United States of America.
As explained above, her nationally and internationally recognized outstanding
performance, unparalleled talent and success as a broadcast journalist in Nepal has made
her a person on the very top of her field of endeavor. Thus, we believe that she possesses
that level of expertise in the Nepalese media/mass communication industry as a broadcast
journalist which indicates that she is that individual who risen from the bottom to the
very peak of her specified field.
Furthermore, we believe that her constant involvement in this area will substantially
benefit the United States and the people living in this multicultural society that values
diversity as global issues and current affairs become a more important part of our lives.
If necessary, we are more than happy to submit additional documents and evidence to
support her application.
Based on above facts and supporting evidentiary documents, I kindly request you to
approve Ms. Ghosh’s I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien, First Employment Based
Preference (EB-1), Alien with Extra-ordinary Ability.
21. 21
National Acclaim: A federal court held that sustained international acclaim is not
required to qualify as an alien of extraordinary ability. If alien has demonstrated that
he/she was one of the top in the field sought in his/her country as demonstrated by receipt
of nationally recognized prizes, participation as a judge of the work of others in the field,
original scientific contribution of major significance in the field, and command of high
salary in relation of others in the field in his country. The court further held that alien
does not need requirement of international recognition which the statute does not require;
national recognition is sufficient. The AAO also held that an alien’s extraordinary ability
must be judged by national standards in cases which a person has not achieved
international acclaim. Court further held that alien’s salary does not need to be converted
in U.S. dollars and alien’s salary should be considered in relation to others of his field in
his country.
Here, Petitioner/Beneficiary has submitted several recommendation letters, news papers,
posters, photographs and evidence in documentation that clearly establishes that she is
one of the top in her field in Nepali broadcast journalism and mass media. She is one of
few in her field who has risen to the top of her field as she has demonstrated by receipt of
many nationally recognized prizes, awards, and tokens of appreciation from national
level competitions, individuals, and organizations, she has participated as a judge to
evaluate other Nepali journalists and artists in national level of the broadcast journalism
and mass media field and which she gained expertise, extraordinary journalistic talent
and almost a decade-long of significant contribution to the Nepali media industry. She
also has original, scientific contributions of major significance in the Nepali journalistic
field as she has created a very popular Nepali TV show. It has been a great success and
very influential to a wide scope of viewers in Nepal. Many new journalists want to
22. 22
follow her example. She has also commanded a very high salary in her field as she is one
of the most expensive and popular journalists in Nepal.
Thus, Petitioner/Beneficiary has clearly established that she is nationally recognized and
popular Nepali broadcast journalist with her extraordinary journalistic talent. She is one
of the small percentages who has risen to the very top of her field in comparison to others
in such field of endeavor. She has met the criteria of National Acclaim.
Based on above facts, evidence and explanation, Petitioner/Beneficiary has sustained
National or International acclaim under 8 CFR 204.5 (h) (3). Because of which, we have
submitted this petition of extraordinary ability accompanied by evidence which clearly
establish that the alien has sustained national or international acclaim and alien’s
achievements have been recognized in the field of expertise. It has also asked that in
determining whether the beneficiary has enjoyed “sustained” national or international
acclaim we should bear in mind that such acclaim must be uninterrupted and ongoing.
Here, Ms. Ghosh started her media journey since 2002 and she has been continuously
involved in achieving national and international acclaim. She has been uninterruptedly
maintaining comparable level of acclaim. The regulations allow the petitioner to provide
evidence that the alien beneficiary has the requisite sustained acclaim and recognition by
submitting evidence of at least three of the ten criteria set forth in 8 CFR 204.59(h) (3).
Petitioner/Beneficiary has claimed and met 9 out of 10 criteria and qualifies as an alien
with extraordinary ability as a broadcast journalist. She has clear intention and
opportunities to work continuously in her field as a Broad Journalist in the United States
and this will substantially benefit the highly diverse culture and interest of the United
States. We request for her I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker based on First
Employment Preference (EB-1), Alien with Extraordinary Ability in Arts as a broadcasts
23. 23
journalist under 8 C.F.R. §204.5(h) (3) be approved. We also request approval her
concurrently filed I-485.
Thank you for your consideration on this matter. Should you have any questions, or if
you need more evidence, we will be happy to act accordingly.
Very truly yours,
Attorney for the Petitioner / Beneficiary,
