The success of strategies to revitalize primary health care services such as those advocated by the Bamako Initiative requires a response adapted to the expectations of the populations, especially in terms of quality. The goal of this study was to investigate community perceptions of availability, accessibility, acceptability and affordability of biomedical health care services in a rural area of the Northern Province in South Africa. *Please note: This is a reduced version of the abstract.

Care Facilities

In aftermath of People’s Movement 2008, the Government of Nepal promulgated health as a component of basic human rights. But Nepalese health consumers can seek health care services in government primary health facilities, hospitals, private clinics or do self–medication. The study intends to describe the characteristics of morbidity and factors associated in choosing particular type of health facility. For data, the study depends on a nationally representative rich cross sectional household survey data (Nepal Living Standard Survey, 2010/11) of Nepal. The findings of the study show that around one fifth of the total population reported acute illness while near about 10 percent is facing chronic illness. Around 30 percent of people reporting acute illness do not seek any health care services. Most of the rural people and poor population seek health care services in government primary health care facilities and private pharmacies. People belonging to low income quintiles are likely to seek health care services in government primary facilities. Similarly people residing in mountain & hill are likely to utilize services of government primary facilities. The study shows that urbanites are more likely to seek services in hospitals and private clinics. Therefore a homogeneous health care service production and delivery cannot address the country wide demand of health care services.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify critical requirements for nursing practice when responding to hydrological disasters in the rural area. Method: A descriptive, exploratory and qualitative study was developed. The Critical Incidents Technique was adopted. Twenty public health nurses who worked during the flood season in the years of 2014 and 2015 in a rural area in Southern Brazil were interviewed. Content analysis of the data was developed. Results: Critical requirements for nurses’ practice were derived from the situations (n=78), critical behaviors (n=98) and consequences to the population (n=43) and to the nurses (n=38) identified. Conclusion / Final considerations: Although the requirements could be related to the established international referential for nurses’ practice in disasters, some were described only in this study. They can contribute to the education and practice of nurses in primary health care, strengthening its capacity to face disaster situations by flood in the rural area.

The quality of service offered is compromised to offering quick, fragmented and unequal treatment in the rural context.CONCLUSIONThe findings of this study highlight the need for greater efforts in order to adequate the new care model in the development of appropriate actions as designated by PHC in the rural context studied.

In this paper the delivery of a speech, language and hearing therapy (SLHT) service in a rural area is discussed. In the light of the need to relate the delivery of this service to principles of primary health care (PHC) and community based rehabilitation (CBR), a brief theoretical background is given. Obstacles to service delivery are then presented, followed by a description of some attempts to implement principles of PHC and CBR. The author concludes that many challenges need to be faced in providing SLHT services that will benefit the majority of the population of South Africa.
