Public Health Reform

Certain solutions in politics and economics seem self-evident, at first glance. It seems one should simply correct an obvious mistake and the world will change for the better. However, when the good deed has been done, the result may be quite far from what was expected. Reforms can only be successful if they take into account the interests and motives of all the participants of the process. Starting from this thesis, the author discusses the stages in the public health reform in Russia and proposes an explanation why many governments actions in this field turn out to be ineffective and fail to reach the intended goal.

Public Health Reform

What did the public think about public health reform in mid-Victorian Britain? Historians have had a lot to say about the sanitary mentality and actions of the middle class, yet have been strangely silent about the ideas and behaviour of the working class, who were the great majority of the public and the group whose health was mainly in question. Perhaps there is nothing to say. The working class were commonly referred to as ‘the Great Unwashed’, purportedly ignorant and indifferent on matters of personal hygiene, environmental sanitation and hence health. Indeed, the writings of reformers imply that the working class simply did not have a sanitary mentality. However, the views of sanitary campaigners should not be taken at face value. Often propaganda and always one class's perception of another, in the context of the social apartheid in Britain's cities in the mid-nineteenth century, sanitary campaigners' views probably reveal more about middle-class anxieties than the actual social and physical conditions of the poor. None the less many historians still use such material to portray working-class life, but few have gone on to ask how public health reform was seen and experienced ‘from below’. Historians of public health have tended to portray the urban working class as passive victims who were rescued by enlightened middle-class reformers. This seems to be borne out at the political level where, unlike with other popular movements of the 1840s and after, there is little evidence of working-class participation in, or support for, the public health movement.

Particular emphasis in the development of the public health care system in Lithuania was put on strengthening public health at the municipal level. This paper aims at investigating the possibilities and barriers of the public health reform in Lithuania by analyzing the experience of establishing public health bureaus as the major players in public health development at the municipal level. The Lithuanian National Public Health Strategy and Action Plan have been adopted by the Government in 2006. Ministry of Health prepared legal acts and programmes that encourage local authorities to establish public health bureaus. By the end of 2010, 32 municipal Public health bureaus were set up. The core main functions of the bureaus are public health promotion, monitoring public health and child health care. The first steps of the bureaus were complicated by the lack of well-developed strategies of action and local support, as well as by financial challenges. For strengthening the position of the bureaus in society, benefits of these newly established institutions should be widely presented to the public; sustainable financing mechanisms and a focus on intersectoral cooperation, integrating public health into primary health care are needed; also, human resource development should be foreseen. In spite of the rather challenging beginning, bureaus are starting to provide means by which local governments, in partnership with the service providers, other stakeholders and the community can plan and implement public health services and programmes and play a significant role in improving the health of population.

ABSTRACTCOVID-19 epidemic is declared as the public health emergency of international concern by the World Health Organisation in the second week of March 2020. This disease originated from China in December 2019 has already caused havoc around the world, including India. The first case in India was reported on 30th January 2020, with the cases crossing 6000 on the day paper was written. Complete lockdown of the nation for 21 days and immediate isolation of infected cases are the proactive steps taken by the authorities. For a better understanding of the evolution of COVID-19 in the country, Susceptible-Infectious-Quarantined-Recovered (SIQR) model is used in this paper. It is predicted that actual infectious population is ten times the reported positive case (quarantined) in the country. Also, a single case can infect 1.55 more individuals of the population. Epidemic doubling time is estimated to be around 4.1 days. All indicators are compared with Brazil and Italy as well. SIQR model has also predicted that India will see the peak with 22,000 active cases during the last week of April followed by reduction in active cases. It may take complete July for India to get over with COVID-19.

The Creation

The epidemic of the disease COVID-19, in Požeština in relation to China, where it originated in other parts of Croatia, appeared somewhat later, while Požega-Slavonia County in terms of total share in relation to other counties in Croatia remained relatively well , 16th place, out of a total of 20 counties, ie a smaller number of patients was recorded. In the conditions of public health danger to the health and lives of people with expressed uncertainty, citizens around the world were flooded with numerous information, about the disease, ways of prevention, treatment that at one point threatened to turn into an infodemia, as warned by the WHO. The importance of crisis communication in such conditions is of great importance, and how governments and headquarters communicate messages about the crisis to the public, which is discussed in the first parts of the paper and points out several inconsistencies and illogicalities in the actions of the state headquarters. prohibition and permission to make recommendations contrary to the epidemiologist’s recommendations. But more important than the recommendations of headquarters and governments, today are the recommendations and news transmitted by digital media, and especially the local ones that bring news and recommendations for the area where we live. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to investigate in the central part the significance of the local 034 Portal in the Corona crisis, and its monitoring of the crisis and its impact on the public. Research through several segments, it was found that the portal maintained the level of reporting on regular events and adjusted reporting on the Crown to the conditions and situation in the county, not leading to sensationalism, concern, fear, but was a carrier of preventive activities and a good ally in the fight. against the epidemic, that is, he followed the guidelines for informing the WHO and did not contribute to the creation of an infodemia.
