The study clearly supports the argument that if parents are provided better facilities for education and health, they would certainly prefer to utilise these for MeR! leading to better chances of child survival. Educated mothers particularly have shown that given the resources at their control, their preference is certainly for better health care. This suggests that mothers when able to make independent decisions do emphasise child health care. The majority of the rural popUlation which is nearly 70 percent of the total popUlation have the highest child mortality. This may not only reflect maldistribution of trained manpower and other facilities, but may also be due to low levels of literacy, poor sanitation, low incomes and lack of access of relevant health facilities. The factors such as, post delivery maternal -care, prenatal care, postnatal care were also analysed and showed that child risks were substantially less particularly for urban educated mothers. Thus, the differential, in the urban vs rural health care can be reduced further by improving overall living conditions rather than further advances in medical care [Rohde (1983)]. The mortality transition that the developed countries experienced in the past was characterised by socio-economic progress [Palloni (1981)].

The Individual

The newly developing countries desire not only political independence but also economic progress for their people—a progress which they can see, and are now aware of, in the rest of the world. The role of the developed countries is to extend aid to the needy. Moral foundations underlie the donor's contributions, but they are more than that, they are the means for acquiring support for international aid in the donor's country. The United States must assume the leader ship among' the free nations in granting aid; she must accept this role because of her economic achievements and technologi cal advantages. Donators of such aid should take cognizance of the complementary character and interrelatedness of economic and social development. For economic development, however much it is sought, is not an end in itself, rather the aim is the well-being and happiness of the individual. Such a goal neces sitates economic aid accompanied by social aid. Social welfare can also be a vehicle to achieve peace, inasmuch as people-to- people relationships generate brotherly love—the only lasting foundation for peace.—Ed.

In Russia disputes on the need to abandon Compulsory Health Insurance (CHI) and return to the tax-based financing are yet to subside. At present, after the statement of the President of the Russian Federation V. Putin about the possibility to establish a state health care corporation, discussions on the issue have only escalated. Purpose. To conduct a comparative assessment of the public health financing model impact on the access and structural characteristics of health care delivery in the developed countries. Material and methods. Assessment of the potential impact of public funding models on the health system performance is carried out by analyzing variations in the main indicators of financial access, health care uptake and health status of the population, achieved in the developed countries with different health financing models. Results. Health care expenditures in countries with CHI are higher than in countries with the tax-based financing model. In countries with CHI the share of administrative expenses is slightly higher than in countries with the tax-based financing system. The share of spending on preventive care is slightly higher in countries with the tax-based financing system. There is a slightly lower level of outpatient and inpatient care uptake in countries with the tax-based financing system compared to countries with CHI. The premature mortality rate in countries with CHI is slightly lower than in countries with the tax-based system. Conclusion. The obtained data indicate that there are no significant differences in the access and structural characteristics of medical care in the health care system of the developed countries with different financing models. The main difference remains the level of health expenditures. In countries with CHI, the level of health expenditures is higher than in countries with the tax-based financing, which is largely due to the existence of a separate source of funding. The level of administrative costs in countries with CHI is also higher than in countries with the tax-based system.

The current status of the research of Ballistocardiography (BCG) and Seismocardiogram (SCG) in the field of medical treatment, health care and nursing was analyzed systematically, and the important direction in the research was explored, to provide reference for the relevant researches. This study, based on two large databases, CNKI and PubMed, used the bibliometric analysis method to review the existing documents in the past 20 years, and made analyses on the literature of BCG and SCG for their annual changes, main countries/regions, types of research, frequently-used subject words, and important research subjects. The results show that the developed countries have taken a leading position in the researches in this field, and have made breakthroughs in some subjects, but their research results have been mainly gained in the area of research and development of the technologies, and very few have been actually industrialized into commodities. This means that in the future the researchers should focus on the transformation of BCG and SCG technologies into commercialized products, and set up quantitative health assessment models, so as to become the daily tools for people to monitor their health status and manage their own health, and as the main approaches of improving the quality of life and preventing diseases for individuals.

ABSTRACT From the beginning of its use in neonatology, ultrasound is used more frequently and for many indications. Number of indications is increasing from year to year, while the training opportunities and curricula are not following the same trend. Nowadays ultrasound has been used for determination of functional hemodynamics in critically sick neonates which increases educational burden on the young neonatologists. This only applies to the developed countries where neonatology is well developed, while in low income so called developing countries some basic health problems of neonates have not been solved and there is substantial lack of health care professionals and equipment as well.

SummaryThis paper analyses the socioeconomic and health care determinants responsible for the decline over the last two decades in infant mortality in Kuwait. Published data and the results of a national health survey conducted in 1984–85 show the following. With the overall affluence of the society, health care in terms of immunization has improved dramatically and more than 90% of all children are covered. Of all births, 99% now occur in a hospital or clinic. About half of the mothers continue to breast-feed their babies for about 16 months. Despite these favourable conditions, differences still exist between social classes. The risk of stillbirth remains much higher among the poorer women, those without any education and those who gave birth at home. These findings are consistent with developed countries like the USA and Japan, where the social class differences in mortality still persist.

Healthcare is one of the most important priority of every country. Most of the developed countries are trying to bring internet to solve health related problems. Meanwhile, healthcare is not that much developed in populated countries like Pakistan. The private health care sector serves more than half of our country’s population. We have tried to develop a web based model to transfer the clinical system into the cloud to overcome the doctor burden, and further assist the patients to find a doctor easily. This can save time of both the doctor and patient. The web based patient-doctor database shows credibility in bringing both the ends near and accessible even in low internet connectivity regions. However, there is a back draw to educate the end users about the complexities in the web based doctor portal. This will provide more insights after eliminating health issues and provide an adequate approach to the patients.

Spinal cord injury is a major trauma, with its short and long term effects and consequences to the patient, his friends and family. Spinal cord injury is addressed in the developed countries with standard trauma care system commencing immediately after injury and continuing to the specialized rehabilitation units. Rehabilitation is important to those with spinal injury for both functional and psychosocial reintegration. It has been an emerging concept in Nepal, which has been evident with the establishment of the various hospitals with rehabilitation units, rehabilitation centres and physical therapy units in different institutions. However, the spinal cord injury rehabilitation setting and scenario is different in Nepal from those in the developed countries since spinal cord injury rehabilitation care has not been adequately incorporated into the health care delivery system nor its importance has been realized within the medical community of Nepal. To name few, lack of human resource for the rehabilitation care, awareness among the medical personnel and general population, adequate scientific research evidence regarding situation of spinal injury and exorbitant health care policy are the important hurdles that has led to the current situation. Hence, it is our responsibility to address these apparent barriers to successful implementation and functioning of rehabilitation so that those with spinal injury would benefit from enhanced quality of life.Keywords: rehabilitation; spinal injury.

The developed countries contain about one-third of the world population and they produce more than 80 percent of Gross World Product (GWP). The remaining two-thirds of the population of our Globe who lives in Asia, Latin America and most of Africa produces less than 20 percent of the GWP. A small segment of the population of these countries is wealthy but the over¬whelming majority subsists on substandard incomes and is characterised by mass illiteracy, mal-nutrition, bad housing and lack of medical care. Because of these characteristics they have low productivity, which yields low level of income; low incomes, in turn, imply a small capacity to save resulting in an economic situation where there is barely a possibility to moblize resources for development. The question has often been raised: 'Is there way out for the developing countries' ? 1960s were declared as the First UN Development Decade and it was hoped that during these years the pre-conditions for a successful development would be established in various developing countries. The present study analyses data on public revenue, public expenditure, public savings and private savings for 12 selected developing countries pertaining to the years of the First U.N. Development Decade. The general conclusion that emerges from the study clearly suggests that with appropriate economic policies resources for development can be mobilized in the developing countries.

Science and technology capabilities are fundamental for social and economic progress in African countries and they are crucial components aimed at fostering growth and development of every nation as they create impact on the various sectors of governments. Maintaining and Strengthening the contributions of science and technology become more important for Africa in addressing traditional development issues and successful application of science and technology entails establishing effective institutional framework and linkages so that the various science and technology institutions and the productive sectors work in a system that is focused on achieving developmental goals without undue duplication and completion. Unfortunately, many developing countries especially the poor countries in West Africa do not have human resources, physical and economic infrastructures and access to capital to take full advantage of the science and technology expertise and achievements of the developed countries like the USA, China, and Korea etc. Conclusively, it is imperative for Africa especially West African countries to embrace science and technology as a vital tool for accelerating their socio-economic development as science and technology enhances its international competitiveness and more importantly its position in the world economy.

AbstrakKemiskinan tentunya bukanlah masalah sosial yang hanya dialami oleh negaranegaraberkembang seperti Indonesia, namun dialami juga oleh negara-negara maju sepertiamerika. Di Indonesia kemiskinan terus menjadi masalah sosial yang fenomenal sepanjangsejarah Indonesia. Kemiskinan telah membuat jutaan anak-anak indonesia tidak bisamengenyam pendidikan yang berkualitas, kesulitan membiayai kesehatan, kurangnyatabungan dan tidak adanya investasi untuk masa depan, kurangnya akses ke pelayananpublik, kurangnya lapangan pekerjaan, kurangnya jaminan sosial dan perlindunganterhadap keluarga, menguatnya arus urbanisasi kekota, dan yang lebih parah,kemiskinan menyebabkan jutaan rakyat memenuhi kebutuhan pangan, sandang dan papansecara terbatas. Ada dua kondisi yang menyebabkan kemiskinan bisa terjadi, yaknikemiskinan alamiah dan karena buatan. Kemiskinan alamiah terjadi antara lain akibatsumber daya alam yang terbatas, penggunaan teknologi yang rendah dan bencana alam.Kemiskinan "buatan" terjadi karena lembaga-lembaga yang ada di masyarakat membuatsebagian anggota masyarakat tidak mampu menguasai sarana ekonomi dan berbagaifasilitas lain yang tersedia, hingga mereka tetap miskin. Maka itulah sebabnya para pakarekonomi sering mengkritik kebijakan pembangunan yang sering terfokus pada pertumbuhanketimbang pemerataan.Kata Kunci: Kemiskinan, Pelayanan Publik, Kebijakan PembangunanAbstractPoverty is certainly not the only social problems experienced by developing countries such asIndonesia, but experienced by the developed countries like the United States. In Indonesia,poverty continues to be a social problem that is phenomenal in the history of Indonesia.Poverty has made millions of children Indonesia can not get an education of quality,difficulty to finance health care, lack of savings and investments for the future, lack of accessto public services, lack of jobs, lack of social security and protection of the family, thestrengthening of urbanization kekota, and worse, poverty causes millions of people to meetthe needs of food, clothing and shelter are limited. There are two conditions that causepoverty can happen, namely poverty because of natural and artificial. Poverty naturallyoccur partly as a result of limited natural resources, the use of low technology and naturaldisasters. Poverty "artificial" occurred because the institutions that exist in the community tomake some community members are not able to master the economic means and variousother facilities available, so they remain poor. So that is why economists are often criticizeddevelopment policies are often focused on growth rather than equity.Keywords: Poverty, Public Service, Policy Development
