Is Evaluation

Abstract Community System of Social Support is the basis of modern health care systems not only in Poland but all over the world in the prophylaxis-treatment-rehabilitation procedure. In Poland, family doctors, commune councils and territorial self-governments are involved in it. Family doctors perform a substantial function, whereas commune councils and territorial self-governments an administrative one. The principle of the system work is evaluation of its benefits. Its aim is the reduction of the number of patients who abuse alcohol and those who abuse alcohol despite treatment.

Background: Coronavirus, the cause of severe acute respiratory syndrome (COVID-19), is rapidly spreading around the world. Since the number of corona positive patients is increasing sharply in Iran, this study aimed to forecast the number of newly infected patients in the coming days in Iran. Methods: The data used in this study were obtained from daily reports of the Iranian Ministry of Health and the datasets provided by the Johns Hopkins University including the number of new infected cases from February 19, 2020 to March 21, 2020. The autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model was applied to predict the number of patients during the next thirty days. Results: The ARIMA model forecasted an exponential increase in the number of newly detected patients. The result of this study also show that if the spreading pattern continues the same as before, the number of daily new cases would be 3574 by April 20. Conclusion: Since this disease is highly contagious, health politicians need to make decisions to prevent its spread; otherwise, even the most advanced and capable health care systems would face problems for treating all infected patients and a substantial number of deaths will become inevitable.

Health Need

Most now recognize the inevitability of rationing in modern health care systems. The elastic nature of the concept of “health need,” our natural human sympathy for those in distress, the increased range of conditions for which treatment is available, the “greying” of the population; all expand demand for care in ways that exceed the supply of resources to provide it. UK governments, however, have found this truth difficult to present and have not encouraged open and candid public debate about choices in health care. Indeed, successive governments have presented the opposite view, that “if you are ill or injured there will be a national health service there to help; and access to it will be based on need and need alone.” And they have been rightly criticized for misleading the public and then blaming clinical and managerial staffin the National Health Service (NHS) when expectations have been disappointed.

As we move into the third millennium, it is clear that the World Health Organisation(WHO) goal of “Health for All” is yet to be achieved. Nowhere is this more evidentthan in developing countries like Nepal where the majority of people live in ruralareas, many of them caught in the poverty-ill health-low productivity downward spiral.In recent decades, most programs aimed at improving population health outcomeshave been designed and delivered with little or no involvement of medical practitionersother than specialists in specific diseases or population/public health.General practice is the medical discipline which involves the provision of continuing,comprehensive, community-based patient-centred prevention-oriented primary care.General practitioners are at the interface between: low technology/low cost and hightechnology/high cost care; medical and non-medical health and welfare services; andindividual care for illness, injury or disability and community/population healthapproaches to improving health status. This places general practice and generalpractitioners in a pivotal position to provide individuals and families with timely cost-effective care, and to provide leadership in the development and implementation ofhealth care systems which are responsive to community and societal needs.Since 1994, the WHO and WONCA, the World Organisation of Family Doctors, havebeen working together first through a landmark Invitational Conference and Reporton “Making Medical Practice and Education More Relevant to People’s Needs: TheContribution of the Family Doctor”, and more recently through a Memorandum ofAgreement and the Towards Unity for Health (TUFH) Project. TUFH promotes effortsworldwide to create unity in health service organisations particularly throughsustainable integration of medicine and public health, individual health and communityhealth related activities. Achievement of “Health for All” will require development ofbalanced, affordable and sustainable health care systems which build on the broadexpertise of general practitioners and general practice.
