Ayurveda is considered by many scholars to be the oldest healing science and is often called the ‘Mother of all healing’. In this sub-continent, it is one of the ancient health care systems. Nowadays, it is practiced by millions of people in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, China, Tibet, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. In response to the urge of public demand and to achieve the goals of primary health care, the Government of Bangladesh has appointed and posted numbers of Ayurvedic doctors all over Bangladesh. It was due to assay the impact of these recruitments in primary health care as well as in national health services. Aiming this a cross-sectional study was designed to conduct within randomly selected twenty-two centers, approximately covering 35% of each administrative division. This study revealed that roughly 12% of total visiting patients seeking Ayurvedic health service, and among them 7.26% of patients were <5 years old children. A calculative 14.20%, children were suffering from Respiratory Tract Infection (RTI), and of these RTI patients, 42.77% were diagnosed as pneumonia. Bashakarist, Chandramrita rasa, Shwas Kuthar rasa, and Talishadi Churna were prescribed invariably to manage RTIs and pneumonia. This study revealed with such limited manpower of Ayurvedic medical service, it is helping significantly in securing primary health care goals set by the government. The inclusion of more qualified manpower and engaging them in effective training may help the government to conquer the zenith of success in national health services.

Abstract: Pulmonary Tuberculosis (Tb) is still a public health problem. The prevalence of pulmonary Tb from year to year in Manado is still high even though the management of strategy is relatively the same- prevention by immunization, case finding, and treatment strategy with supervision and with DOT directly. Prevention with immunization results in better body resistance. Immunization against Tb is required in some countries and is recommended in several other countries. Although the majority of toddlers are already BCG vaccinated there are still many pulmonary Tb cases among children in Manado.

This chapter outlines the historical roots of health inequities. It focuses on the African continent, where life expectancy is the shortest and health systems are weakest. The chapter describes the impoverishment of countries by colonial powers, the development of the global human rights framework in the post-World War II era, the impact of the Cold War on African liberation struggles, and the challenges faced by newly liberated African governments to deliver health care through the public sector. The influence of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund’s neoliberal economic policies is also discussed. The chapter highlights the shift from the aspiration of “health for all” voiced at the Alma Ata Conference on Primary Health Care in 1978, to the more narrowly defined “selective primary health care.” Finally, the chapter explains the challenges inherent in financing health in impoverished countries and how user fees became standard practice.

Abstract Background The Bagé Cohort Study of Ageing is a population-based cohort study that has recently completed the first follow-up of a representative sample of older adults from Bagé, a city with more than 100,000 inhabitants located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. This is one of the first longitudinal studies to assess the impact of primary health care coverage on health conditions and inequalities. Our aim is to investigate the prevalence, incidence and trends of risk factors, health behaviours, social relationships, non-communicable diseases, geriatric diseases and disorders, hospitalisation, self-perceived health, and all-cause and specific-cause mortality. In addition, we aim to evaluate socioeconomic and health inequalities and the impact of primary health care on the outcomes under study. Methods/design The study covers participants aged 60 or over, selected by probabilistic (representative) sampling of the urban area of the city of Bagé, which is covered by Primary Health Care Services. The baseline examination included 1593 older adults and was conducted from July 2008 to November 2008. After eight to nine years (2016/2017), the first follow-up was conducted from September 2016 to August 2017. All participants underwent an extensive core assessment programme including structured interviews, questionnaires, cognitive testing (baseline and follow-up), physical examinations and anthropometric measurements (follow-up). Results Of the original participants, 1395 (87.6%) were located for follow-up: 757 elderly individuals (47.5%) were re-interviewed, but losses in data transfer occurred for 22. The remaining 638 (40.1%) had died. In addition, we had 81 (5.1%) refusals and 117 (7.3%) losses. Among the 1373 older adults who were followed down, there was a higher proportion of female interviewees (p=0.042) and a higher proportion of male deaths (p=0.001) in 2016/2017. There were no differences in losses and refusals according to gender (p=0.102). There was a difference in average age between the interviewees (68.8 years; SD ±6.5) and non-interviewees (73.2 years; SD ±9.0) (p<0.001). Data are available at the Department of Social Medicine in Federal University of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, for any collaboration.
