Illicit Trafficking

Narcotics are substances or drugs that are very useful and necessary for the treatment of certain diseases. However, if it is misused or used not in accordance with the standard of treatment it can have very detrimental consequences for individuals or society, especially the younger generation. This will be more detrimental if accompanied by the abuse and illicit trafficking of narcotics which can result in a greater danger to the life and cultural values of the nation which in turn can weaken national resilience.In its development, Law No. 22/1997 on Narcotics is deemed unable to answer the many aspects of the narcotics problem.One of them is recognizing the negative impact on public health who are in the position of perpetrators, users, and victims of narcotics abuse.In response to this, the Government then established Law Number 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics.The law aims to find a balance point between the public health approach and the implementation of criminal instruments in overcoming narcotics crime.This research is a normative juridical research, namely research that describes in detail the social phenomena that are the main problems in everyday life associated with the applicable positive criminal law regulations.A normative legal research is intended to provide data as accurate as possible on the crime of narcotics abuse.

Bereavement Care

Background and Method: There is an absence of research on the prevalence of bereavement during early childhood and the relationship between childhood bereavement and socioeconomic status (SES) and this poses a challenge in both understanding and supporting children’s bereavement experiences. Using longitudinal data from the Growing Up in Scotland study, which tracks the lives of three nationally representative cohorts of children, this paper aimed to address these gaps in research. It specifically drew on data from Birth Cohort 1 to document the recorded bereavements of 2,815 children who completed all 8 sweeps of data collection, from age 10 months to 10 years. Findings: The study found that 50.8% of all children are bereaved of a parent, sibling, grandparent or other close family member by age 8 and this rises to 62% by age 10. The most common death experienced was that of a grandparent or other close relative. The study also found that children born into the lowest income households are at greater risk of being bereaved of a parent or sibling than those born into the highest income households. Discussion and Conclusion: Given the prevalence of childhood bereavement and its relationship with disadvantage, this paper argues that there is an important need to understand bereavement as a universal issue that is affected by the social conditions in which a child becomes bereaved, as well as an individual experience potentially requiring specialist support. This paper thus seeks to position childhood bereavement more firmly within the public health approach to palliative and bereavement care discourse and contends that doing so provides a unique and comprehensive opportunity to better understand and holistically respond to the experience of bereavement during childhood.

Interestingly, for the year 2016, there are 10,532 registered not-for-profit agencies with Register of Society (ROS). Malaysian humanitarian relief Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) has risen to another platform to be world-recognised agencies. The humanitarian NGOs receive millions ringgit donations from the financial donors for distribution to the refugee and vulnerable community. With huge amount of money received and trust given by the public, the NGOs have to account for their actions to the upward-downward parties. The research investigate the social engagement undertaken by the NGOs in distributing the public donations to the. Thus, the aims of the research are to explain the social actions undertaken by the humanitarian relief mission NGO to discharge the social accountability to the community, to analyse the performance measurement indicator in deliberating the community’s engagement within the humanitarian relief mission and to conceptualise social accountability model for the humanitarian relief mission. The grounded theory is employed in explaining the human agency’s actions through social constructionist position within the humanitarian relief NGOs, through a series of in-depth interviews, memos, documentary reviews and observations. This methodological foundation considers how social phenomena or objects of consciousness develop in social contexts by understanding of human’s actions. The paper reveals the underpinning social engagement and values articulated by the humanitarian relief agencies and in-depth understand of social accountability for humanitarian relief mission, particularly the aid deployment in the Islamic region. The paper is essential in decision making related to national social policy that relates to National Key Results Areas (NKRAs) in prioritising needs of the people. Additionally, it will develop a social accountability model for the government in supporting the NGOs action; monitoring the cash flow from the donors, NGOs and beneficiaries; and supporting the resolution made by Islamic Countries and Organisation for Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

This chapter discusses the emergence of Covid-19 in Cambodia, the legal and regulatory responses, and the social dimensions of Cambodia’s Covid-19 response. By working with development partners to strengthen the public health system, Cambodia successfully managed the first wave of Covid-19 while tentatively preparing for more possible outbreaks. The Covid-19 pandemic raises the question of how a country susceptible to political manipulation and external economic shocks can balance the population’s health with the mantra of peace, stability, and economic growth. While the government put much effort into protecting the health of the population and curbing the spread of Covid-19, it was primarily inclined toward maintaining the economy and enforcing peace and stability. By adhering to its health and human rights obligations under international conventions, Cambodia stood to improve its relations with Western countries, boosting growth, and, in turn, fostering peace and stability.

The Impact

Applying a public health perspective to drug abuse research has far-reaching implications. First, the health of the entire community is of concern, not just the individual patient. Because of the social impact of drug abuse, these problems become the responsibility of all citizens to address. Second, the perspective requires treating drug abuse as a health issue, not as a criminal justice, moral, or social issue. Third, as in other branches of medicine, applying this perspective to drug abuse research will encourage development of the most effective ways to enhance drug abuse prevention and treatment interventions through cross-disciplinary approaches. The public health approach requires studies that (1) determine need for intervention; (2) provide clues about etiology; (3) determine effective approaches, systems, and financing strategies; and (4) measure the impact of interventions and services on the health of a population. Overall, attending to the public health implications of research will help to assure the maximum impact of scientific findings.

Health is the basic right for everybody, therefore every citizen is entitled to get the health care. In enforcing the regulation for Jaringan Kesehatan Nasional (National Health Supports), it is heavily influenced by the foreign interests. Economically, this program does not reduce the people’s burdens, on the contrary, it will increase them. This means the health supports in which should place the government as the guarantor of the public health, but the people themselves that should pay for the health care. In the realization of the health support the are elements against the Syariah principles. Indonesian Muslim Religious Leaders (MUI) only say that the BPJS Kesehatan (Sosial Support Institution for Health) does not conform with the syariah. The society is asked to register and continue the participation in the program of Social Supports Institution for Health. The best solution is to enforce the mechanism which is in accordance with the syariah principles. The establishment of BPJS based on syariah has to be carried out in cooperation from the elements of Social Supports Institution (BPJS), Indonesian Muslim Religious (MUI), Financial Institution Authorities, National Social Supports Council, Ministry of Health, and Ministry of Finance. Accordingly, the Social Supports Institution for Helath (BPJS Kesehatan) based on syariah principles could be obtained and could became the solution of the polemics in the society.

Mental Defectives

Dr. C.K. Clarke (1857-1924) was one of Canada’s most prominent psychiatrists. He sought to improve the conditions of asylums, helped to legitimize psychiatry and established formal training for nurses. At the beginning of the 20th Century, Canada experienced a surge of immigration. Yet – as many historians have shown – a widespread anti-foreigner sentiment within the public remained. Along with many other members of the fledgling eugenics movement, Clarke believed that the proportion of “mental defectives” was higher in the immigrant population than in the Canadian population and campaigned to restrict immigration. He appealed to the government to track immigrants and deport them once they showed signs of mental illness. Clarke’s efforts lead to amendments to the Immigration Act in 1919, which authorized deportation of people who were not Canadian-born, regardless of how many years that had been in Canada. This change applied not only to the mentally ill but also to those who could no longer work due to injury and to those who did not follow social norms. Clarke is a fascinating example of how we judge historical figures. He lived in a time where what we now think of as xenophobia was a socially acceptable, even worthy attitude. As a leader in eugenics, therefore, he was a progressive. Other biographers have recognized Clarke’s racist opinions, some of whom justify them as keeping with the social values of his era. In further exploring Clarke’s interest in these issues, this paper relies on his personal scrapbooks held in the CAMH archives. These documents contain personal papers, poems and stories that proclaim his anti-Semitic and anti-foreigner views. Whether we allow his involvement in the eugenics movement to overshadow his accomplishments or ignore his racist leanings to celebrate his memory is the subject of ongoing debate. Dowbiggin IR.

Corruption is pervasive in Nigeria at all levels. Thus, despite recent gains in healthcare provision, the health sector faces numerous corruption related challenges. This study aims at examining areas of corruption in the health sector with specific focus on its types and nature. A sample size of 480 respondents aged 18 years and above was drawn from the eight Metropolitan Local Government Areas of Kano State, using the multistage sampling technique. The results revealed evidence of corrupt practices including those related to unnecessary-absenteeism, diversion of patients from the public health facilities to the private sector, diverting money meant for the purchase of equipment, fuel and diesel, bribery, stealing of medications, fraud, misappropriation of medications and unjustifiable reimbursement claims. In order to resolve the problem of corrupt practices in the healthcare sector, the study recommended the need for enforcement of appropriate code of ethics guiding the conduct of the health professionals, adoption of anti-corruption strategies, and strengthening the government monitoring system to check corruption in public health sector in order to ensure equitable access to healthcare services among the under-privileged people in the society.
