Health Care

Health care has been a necessary thing for every countries until now. So, what is a health system?  A health system is the sum total of all the organizations, institutions and resources whose primary purpose is to improve health. A health system needs staff, funds, information, supplies, transport, communications and overall guidance and direction. And it needs to provide services that are responsive and financially fair, while treating people decently.

First,let's look over to the health care system at Sweden, which is one of the top countries that have the best health care system. Sweden priorities better healthcare. That's why, they spend 9 percent of GDP on healthcare. Sweden proportionally has one of Europe’s largest elderly populations.The average life span is now 83.7 years for women and 80.1 years for men.In Sweden,everyone has equal access to health care services under a largely decentralised, taxpayer-funded system.The responsibility for health and medical care in Sweden is shared by the central government, county councils and municipalities.Children under 18 will enjoy the same rights as Swedish children, which means that not only will they have rights to emergency care, but they will also have access to dentistry and preventive care through the all-important years of development.

Now, let's move to another places, South Africa. Health care in South Africa varies from the most basic primary health care, offered free by the state, to highly specialised, hi-tech health services available in both public and private sector. The public sector is under-resourced and over-subscribed. Diagnostic facilities in state hospitals are lacking; wards are crowded.South Africa emerges with 44.2 infant deaths per 1,000 live births, life expectancy in the republic in 2007 was 50.5 years.

What is the solutions for health care system problem basically? For poorer country, i think government should focus more on the efficiency of the public health, improve children mortality, reduce maternal. In africa, people should find a way to increase some dangerous diseases by improving the food and the water problems. Also, invest more diagnostic facilities and more kind of medicine. Improving the funds problem.
