Conceptual Frame

Globalization is the key trial for public health care and fundamental health protection, given the links between globalization and health care, which are very complicated today, the stress frequently being on developing countries, in which group is also Croatia. Although there are various papers available on this subject, it is necessary to provide an institutional structure for the assessment of direct and indirect health impacts of several appearances of globalization. Therefore, this paper presents a conceptual frame between health care and globalization based on the movements of David Woodward and Nick Drager, including the mission to serve as a guideline for the construction of existing papers in this field, as well as the search for new cognitions, which can ultimately 6to the growth of national policies on health. When we talk about the conceptual structure, then, by all means, we need to pay consideration to the secondary effects on health, as well as the direct impact on the population on the level of particular risk factors on health and the wellness care system as a whole. The paper will pay appropriate attention to the overall objectives of the activities to optimize the health effects of economic globalization.

The aim of this study was to investigate risk factors to coronary heart disease in two countryside villages in the State of Paraná, southern Brazil, typical in terms of the poverty and lack of access to public health care. All population was invited to participate in the study. The 462 volunteers (61.3% female, mean age = 42 years) showed high prevalence of hypercholesterolemia (7.0%), hypertriglyceridemia (19.0%), hyperglycemia (11.0%), hypertension (30.0%) and obesity (16.0%). The majority of the individuals, during the interview did not report the diseases detected by the testes. The results revealed that the high prevalence of hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, obesity, hypertension and diabetes mellitus could be consequence of the delayed detection of these diseases or inadequate treatment after diagnostic.

Theory Of Health

The fact that the health of Ukraine’s people is rather poor proves the importance of substantiating the need for institutionalizing the government’s social responsibility for public health (GSR for PH) as a basic component of a health-oriented economy in modern conditions. The methodological approach to forming the GSR for PH institution is developed; within this approach the essence of the GSR for PH and its structure are defined, and theoretic approaches to forming the GSR for PH are suggested, as well as case studies for the GSR for PH and its diagnostication within a state, and rationale for and mechanisms of the GSR for PH institutionalization. The methodology of institutionalizing the GSR for PH is based on the institutional approach and the theory of health risk factors. The GSR for PH is presented as the obligations of a state, which are expressed in actions that are aimed at the socio-economic well-being and lifestyle of both the population and every individual as a carrier of health capital; ensure the safety and efficiency of human capital; provide environmental parameters for the actualization of human capital; characterize the organization of providing health care to the population, ensure its quality and accessibility. The analysis of the GSR for PH in Ukraine from the standpoint of the theory of health risk factors shows the inefficiency of state institutions responsible for maintaining public health; an institutional trap has been identified in some areas of the public health care system. In order to transform inefficient institutions, a mechanism for institutionalizing the GSR for PH is proposed, which includes regulatory, business, and information instruments; they coordinate the actions of economic entities in their interaction in such a way as to offset the negative impact of health risk factors, and enhance the positive impact, which contributes to increasing the government’s, employers’ and individuals’ responsibility for health at every level.
