Health and health care development has not been a priority of the Indian States and it is a wellknown fact that all these facilities, policies and systems of healthcare are an eyewash and restricted to sheer papers. The worst aspect of this situation is that private medical colleges and institutions have become money making machine and in turn they take admissions of even the incompetent and unworthy students in consideration of inordinate fees and donations and as a result the doctors who get their degrees from these incompetent and unethical institutions are authorized to practice who are mostly inept, unskilled and unworthy thereby putting to risk lives of many of their patients. Over the years, the IMA and the MCI have been alleged to be deviating from its motto, thereafter doing little to control the rampant corruption in medical profession and medical colleges/government hospitals etc. Moreover, there is no transparency in their working or accountability for deeds. Medical care is not just a matter of accessibility and affordability but also quality as India prepares to fight the emerging problems of health care. To provide best health care at the lowest possible cost and make health care providers accountable for cost and quality, it is a high time for critical analysis regarding views and perspective of National Medical Commission Bill, 2017.

The present empirical study examines the effects of home and work domain resources (family–work enrichment and supervisor’s support) on work engagement among nurses using the perspective of job-demands resources model. Considering the dearth of literature in government health-care sector especially in North Eastern Region (NER) of India, the study was conducted in Assam. Data were collected using structured questionnaires from government hospitals. The results of multiple hierarchical regression indicated that family–work enrichment and supervisor’s support both play a significant positive role in enhancing the work engagement levels among nurses. Thus, both hypotheses were supported. Limitations, future scope and conclusion are discussed.

Universal Health

The compulsory medical benefit scheme for white public servants in South Africa grew out of a friendly society founded in 1905. This development diverged from the experience of other members of the British Commonwealth, where universal health insurance schemes developed following the British example. The Civil Servants’ Medical Benefit Association (CSMBA) addressed the needs of white public servants, leaving the non-white communities without any form of government-sponsored medical support, apart from health care provided at government hospitals. The CSMBA was a well-managed medical benefit association, but when it was appointed the compulsory medical benefit association for white public servants, government intervention affected the financial viability of the organization, despite the payment of a state subsidy.

Level Of Knowledge

Objective: Zika virus infection is fast becoming a major public health concern in both developed and developing countries of the world because of its association with microcephaly and Guillain Barre Syndrome. Assessment of its knowledge and understanding among different healthcare practitioners are essential for prevention and control especially in developing countries such as Nigeria. Our aim was to assess the knowledge of the virus and its associated factors among healthcare professionals (HCPs).Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from June 10 to August 28, 2016, among health care professionals who were selected by non-probability convenience sampling technique. The respondents were selected from various practice settings including academic institution, private and government hospitals in Enugu State, Nigeria. A validated and pilot tested 15 item questionnaire was used to evaluate respondents’ knowledge of ZIKV infection. Descriptive statistics and chi-square were used to analyze respondents’ level of knowledge and its associated factors using SPSS version 16.Results: Two hundred (200) respondents participated in this study with more than half (53.0%) being male, and most were either Physician or Pharmacist (59.5%). Our results also showed that most of the respondents (128, 64.0%) had poor knowledge of ZIKV infection. However, among the respondents assessed, the Pharmacists and the Physicians had better knowledge of the disease as the test statistics were statistically significant at X2=16.722, p=0.033. HCPs in the academia had better knowledge compared to those that are self-employed or practicing in private or government hospitals (X2=17.178, p=0.028).Conclusion: Our findings suggest that most of the HCPs assessed in this study had poor knowledge of ZIKV infection. However, professional status, place of service, and study site were found to be associated with the respondents’ level of knowledge. Hence, through sensitization and awareness campaigns through the media, seminars, and workshops aimed at educating HCPs on the disease should be encouraged.

The Relationship

Purpose Highlighting the prominence of spirituality at work, this paper aims to scrutinize the mediating role of perceived person-organization fit (P-O fit) on the relationship between workplace spirituality and nurse work engagement in the context of two Indonesian government hospital. Design/methodology/approach Cross-sectional survey data of 138 nursing staff from two government hospitals operating in Indonesia were analyzed using structural equation modeling to estimate the mediation effects of perceived P-O fit on the relationship between workplace spirituality and nurse engagement. Findings The results of the research proved the positive effect of workplace spirituality on nurse work engagement. Likewise, P-O fit act as a mechanism through which workplace spirituality affects nurse engagement. Research limitations/implications This study only uses a sample of two government hospitals, which may limit the generalizability of the outcomes. Despite of the small sample, the result of this inquiry provides new insights into the advancement of human behavior theory in hospital service, especially on the factors that influence nurse work engagement. On a broader sense, top management might set a necessary program to wholly nurture nurse spiritual potential as a step to convalesce their spiritual awareness. Practical implications Based on the discovery, the study presents strong theoretical and managerial implications that can be used by health care institutions to evaluate the importance of workplace spirituality on employee engagement among nurses. This paper contributes by fulfilling the fissure in the management literature of health care, in which empirical studies on workplace spirituality in the relationship with employee engagement have been scarce until now. Originality/value The present perceived P-O fit in the relation between the spirituality of the workplace and nurse engagement enhances human behavior theory in the health care context.

Personal Spirituality

In most Nigerian hospitals, there is no evidence of formally employed health care chaplains. Personal experiences of a health care chaplain serving at a faith-based hospital in Nigeria show that the Nigerian cultural context, as it relates to individuals’ personal spirituality, as well as the abundant research on the associations between spirituality/religiosity and health, precipitate the need for services of health care chaplains in Nigerian hospitals, whether faith-based, non-faith-based, or government hospitals.

Per Capita

A health care demand model is estimated for each province in Pakistan to explain the outpatient visits to government hospitals over the period 1989-2006. The explanatory variables include the number of government hospitals per capita, doctors’ fee per visit at a private clinic, income per capita, the average price of medicine and the number of outpatient visits per capita in the previous period. All variables are significant determinants of the demand for health care in at least one province but their signs, magnitudes and the levels of significance vary. These variations may be attributed to cultural, social and religious factors that vary across provinces. Variations in health care quality offered at public hospitals may also be a factor. These factors and improved accessibility of health care facilities should be the focus of public policy aimed at increasing the usage of public sector health care facilities in Pakistan.
