SOCIAL PROTECTION
SOCIAL PROTECTION: WHAT IS IT?
Social protection measures have a long history in Europe where the European Social Model is extolled as one that supports “social solidarity” and enables the population as a whole to contribute through taxes to help those in need. Social protection measures have become increasingly popular in Asia, Latin America, and Africa with large scale programs which impacted the futures of millions in India, China, South Africa, Brazil, Russia, Tanzania, Zambia, Mexico, Chile, etc.
In the wake of the Asian Financial Crisis and the global financial crisis, social protection policies provided a means to enable populations “in need” to survive and be prepared to contribute to the society once the economy recovers. It has become particularly important to facilitate peoples’ and states’ recovery from environmental, financial, and other types of crisis. Depending on the risk to be mitigated, social protection can take different forms and approaches which have led to a variety of programs and policies across the globe.
Research on Social protection has increased dramatically with the increase in economic shocks and other types of crisis as well as increase in policies implemented in developing and emerging countries. Such research has provided a wealth of information on the objectives, implementation, approaches and impact of social protection measures. This literature review will first provide an overview of the approaches comprising social protection; and consider some of the challenges inherent to defining this evolving concept. The second part of this review will take a closer look at some of the social protection policies and programs implemented around the globe, especially in BRIC. The final part of this review will consider the quandaries in social protection and research considerations for the future. Social protection is the broadest?, signifying the full range of protective transfers, services, and institutional safeguards supposed to protect the population ‘at risk’ of being ‘in need’.
The graph above provides an overview of various social protection schemes used across the globe. They are often a combination of social services, labor policy and social insurance; and safety nets.
In many countries social protection pie is financed by social contributions of employers, protected persons and general government contribution. The social assistance comes within the social protection in many countries by solidarity basis, selectivity and targeting basis, institutional delusion level and re-integration efforts. The social insurance program was implemented for a unified and integrated social protection process. The institutional participation of social agents favors the transparency and rationalization of the social protection model. Different modifications were made in the past decades for the protection of the social protection pie. The information is coordinate.
Healthcare is a major part of every country's development platform. By healthcare we are in fact protecting the most important driver of development. Healthcare systems are primarily safe guarding the development core engine and are the best means of sustainable development.
This document provides an overview of health insurance in Bangladesh. It discusses key concepts like social health insurance and private health insurance. It notes that household out-of-pocket expenses are currently the main source of healthcare financing in Bangladesh. The document also examines the government's policies around developing health insurance, including a 2000 report that outlined steps to create an enabling framework. It analyzes the potential and limitations of different approaches like private insurance, social insurance, and community-based insurance in the Bangladeshi context.
This document discusses the importance of global health initiatives. It outlines 5 major global health initiatives: [1] The Global Fund which invests over $4 billion annually to fight AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria in over 100 countries; [2] GAVI which provides vaccines to children in poor countries; [3] The World Health Organization which coordinates global health leadership and initiatives; [4] The United Nations Development Programme which aims to eradicate poverty and build resilience; [5] UNICEF which provides humanitarian and developmental aid to children worldwide. The document emphasizes that these initiatives are critical to improving health outcomes, ensuring vaccine delivery, strengthening health systems, and achieving sustainable development goals.
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.
This document discusses health care financing in India. It defines health care financing as mobilizing and allocating funds for specific health services and payment mechanisms. India relies heavily on private out-of-pocket spending for health care, with only about 10% having health insurance. Major challenges include linking insurance to employment when most work is informal, and excluding many poor from coverage. Community-based financing models show promise in providing social inclusion and financial protection. The conclusion calls for recognizing the role of health economists and addressing health financing within broader governance, economic, educational, and social contexts.

Primary health care aims to make health care accessible and affordable for all communities. It has eight key elements including education on health problems, nutrition promotion, water and sanitation access, and maternal/child healthcare. The principles of primary health care are equity, community participation, decentralization, accessibility, health promotion/prevention, effectiveness, integration, and efficiency. Health care can be financed through fees, taxes, insurance, or employment-related payments. The Millennium Development Goals set targets like reducing poverty and hunger by 2015 but progress was uneven, with maternal health goals largely unmet though other goals like reduced child mortality saw more success.

Why Community Health Care Is Important For Public Health | Enterprise WiredEnterprise Wired
As we stand at the threshold of tomorrow's wellness, the significance of community health care becomes not just a trend but a transformative force shaping the future of public health.
key reasons highlighting the importance of health insurance:
Financial Security: Health insurance helps individuals and families mitigate the financial risks associated with unexpected medical expenses. It covers a significant portion of medical costs, including hospitalizations, surgeries, medications, and preventive care. Without insurance, these expenses can be overwhelming and lead to significant financial strain.
Access to Healthcare: Health insurance ensures that individuals have access to essential healthcare services. It allows policyholders to visit healthcare providers, specialists, and hospitals, enabling timely diagnosis, treatment, and preventive care. Having health insurance increases the likelihood of receiving necessary medical attention without delay.
Preventive Care and Wellness: Health insurance plans often provide coverage for preventive services such as vaccinations, screenings, and routine check-ups. These services help detect and address health issues at an early stage, improving overall wellness and reducing the likelihood of more severe conditions in the future.
Comprehensive Coverage: Health insurance typically offers coverage for a wide range of medical services, including hospitalizations, surgeries, doctor visits, prescription medications, diagnostic tests, and rehabilitation. This comprehensive coverage ensures that individuals have access to the necessary care and treatments for various health conditions.
Network of Providers: Many health insurance plans have a network of healthcare providers, including doctors, hospitals, and clinics. This network helps policyholders find and access quality healthcare services within their insurance plan’s network, facilitating coordinated and continuous care.
