UNSTRUCTURED Technological advancement has brought about a revolution in every sector in the world. The Healthcare sector is one of the most essential sectors and is still far behind especially in developing countries. With the help of 5G, connected healthcare is the future. Countries like India can be a great model for the rest of the world with the connected healthcare services. As the majority of the population still resides in a rural area, this will help save more lives. This will be economical to build multispecialty hospitals in every village in India will be very expensive. Together we can build a powerfully connected healthcare India.

Dubai Health Authority (DHA) is the entity regulating the healthcare sector in the Emirate of Dubai, ensuring high quality and safe healthcare services delivery to the population. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic on the 11th of March 2020, indicating to the world that further infection spread is very likely, and alerting countries that they should be ready for possible widespread community transmission. The first case of COVID-19 in the United Arab Emirates was confirmed on 29th of January 2020; since then, the number of cases has continued to grow exponentially. As of 8th of July 2020 (end of the day), 53,045 cases of coronavirus have been confirmed with a death toll of 327 cases. The UAE has conducted over 3,720,000 COVID-19 tests among UAE citizens and residents over the past four months, in line with the government’s plans to strengthen virus screening to contain the spread of COVID-19. There were vital UAE policies, laws, regulations, and decrees that have been announced for immediate implementation to limit the spread of COVID- 19, to prevent panic and to ensure the overall food, nutrition, and well-being are provided. The UAE is amongst the World’s Top 10 for COVID-19 Treatment Efficiency and in the World’s Top 20 for the implementation of COVID-19 Safety measures. The UAE’s mission is to work towards resuming life after COVID-19 and enter into the recovery phases. This policy research paper will discuss the Dubai Health Authority’s rapid response initiatives towards combating the control and spread of COVID-19 and future policy implications and recommendations. The underlying factors and policy options will be discussed in terms of governance, finance, and delivery.

ABSTRACT The outbreak of pneumonia known as coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has occurred in China since December 2019 and spread rapidly across the world. Pediatric medical workers have a serious imbalance doctor–patient ratio in China; they have accumulated experience during the fight against COVID-19; however, some flaws were revealed in their current medical system. Meanwhile, these problems were also reported in other countries. Thus far, the outbreak of COVID-19 is still rampant across the world. The experience from anti-COVID-19 could be useful and teach us to provide better medical services for Chinese children and prepare for similar public emergencies in the future. Furthermore, it also provides guidance for pediatric medical staff in managing COVID-19 in other developing countries.

African studies at Northwestern University will enter a new phase of their history in September 1964, when Professor Gwendolen M. Carter takes up her post as director of the Program and Herskovits Professor of African Studies. The new appointment coincides with an expanding intellectual involvement of the faculty with the developing countries of the world, which have been somewhat neglected by scholarship, and the future goals of the Program are closely related to this wider academic development. First, however, a note on the background.

The quality of human life has improved with the technological advancement and miniaturization of sensors. Healthcare sector has adopted the new technology with the results of related research. Still, healthcare services are not easily affordable in developing countries. This paper aims to reduce the expenses of healthcare system through designing a remote healthcare system comprising of three modules. The first module deals with detection of patient’s vitals using sensors. Second module is to collect and analyze the data and can be sent back to the doctor or guardian through Email and/or SMS alerts in case of any emergencies using Arduino. Third module implemented by K nearest neighbor classification algorithm is used to make runtime decisions if the alert message is not answered by doctors. By implementing these three modules, we achieved a better results in prediction and accuracy than the Attribute based credential and Amrita IoT-based Medical.

Organisational Level

Healthcare providers have reasons to consider telemedicine technologies when determining the best practices for service provision. The use of such technologies in developing countries is still limited, and it is important to examine the readiness to telemedicine solutions at an organisational level in developing countries such as Libya in order to provide healthcare services. Therefore, a model was proposed and validated to assess telemedicine readiness in Libya from the healthcare providers' perspective. Healthcare providers' operational capability and telemedicine outcome expectations were also investigated. The results highlight that the level of telemedicine readiness could be influenced by various health-specific organisational factors including organisational capabilities and resources. The findings of this research are that various organisational factors have an impact on telemedicine readiness and thus on the implementation of such technology including healthcare providers' human resources, IT infrastructure, perceived ease of use, and prospective healthcare providers.

The Right

Turkey is undertaking comprehensive reforms in its healthcare sector which bring about a major transformation in the boundaries between the public and private sectors. As in many transition and late-developing countries reforms seek to universalize coverage, increase efficiency and improve quality of healthcare services. The Turkish case is interesting as it draws attention to the balance that is being struck between two major components of the reforms, namely marketization and universalism. Expansion of coverage and improvements in equity are taking place alongside state-induced market and managerial reforms. This article assesses the extent of marketization and argues that while market elements have been limited to the provision dimension, in the long run they may lead to some erosion in universalism. The Turkish case serves as an example of transformations in developing countries where market reforms have to be accompanied by a strong and active state for universalism to be achieved.

Manpower Needs

The Engineering Profession in the developed countries has greatly increased in numerical strength in recent years but the future pattern is not clear and forecasts of manpower needs in industry are unreliable. Nevertheless, statistics indicate that the United States has, relative to the industrial population as a whole, a clear advantage in technological manpower in the Western World though Russia may, perhaps, be even stronger. The difficulty of evaluating the evidence is stressed. In the world as a whole international co-operation tends to reduce the inequalities of distribution but an enormous task lies before the developing countries which need to produce and retain many more engineers.
