HEALTH CARE

Health Care System is designed beautifully in the FIRST WORLD and the system is relatively equally disappointing in the developing and under developed world. Health care is defined as the quality and timeliness of treatment. Not only that but the government's additional support for the poor and emergency patients. The severe health issues can be attributed to poverty, and compounded by social exclusion and discrimination. A study of UNICEF showed that the bottom most countries in infant and neonatal mortality have a staggering 44% of children stunted and are not given the proper health attention. Pneumonia killed approximately 92000 children in annually. These deaths are avoidable because the treatment is available but not reached to those in need. Mortality rates are considered proxy for the level of social development and the countries such as Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan have one of the highest mortality rates in the world.

Solution:
A thorough research of the health care system is required to accommodate the patients. Without national consensus the state owned health sector will continue to suffer. With no universal medical care, overhauling the health sector not only requires that health be put at the top of the political priority list, but increased funding, efficient cross sector linkages and medical training are also imperative. The UN supports the health care systems in the world to end epidemics mainly AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and other communicable diseases. They also aim to achieve universe health coverage and provide access to medicines and vaccines for all. To prevent the curable diseases hunting lives down, the government is required to increased their budgetary spending on health. Only 1.5 to 4% of GDP is spent in developing countries whereas in the developed world more than 7% on average is spent on health even though they have such high Gross Domestic products.
