Discussing the situation regarding coverage of adult population with prophylaxis vaccines at contemporary stage, we propose novel approaches of enhancement of vaccination, taking into consideration realities of the present day. Use of additional resources for organization of vaccination of adult population is possible during outpatient visits to health care facilities, hospitalizations, in maternity hospitals, migration points, as well as joint vaccination of children and adults during visits to child health centers. Re-evaluation of diversity of reserve possibilities for increase of coverage among adult population by prophylaxis vaccines allows to effectively realize prophylaxis approach of country healthcare.

Health services, including physiotherapy services, are carried out in almost all health care facilities such as clinics, health centers, and hospitals. Physiotherapy services are one form of health services needed by the community. In order to provide physiotherapy services, physiotherapists can provide various types of modalities or physiotherapy services in the form of electro therapy, actino therapy, hydro therapy, manual therapy or exercise therapy. Almost all health care facilities in South Kalimantan have physiotherapy services, but there is no data on the number and types of physiotherapy services used by health care facilities in the South Kalimantan region. This study aims to determine the types of physiotherapy services that are widely used by health care facilities in South Kalimantan. This study uses a descriptive approach. Based on the results of the study, it was found that 35 respondents (67.3%) used electrotherapy very often and 30 respondents (57.7%) used actino therapy very often. These two types of physiotherapy services are the most widely used by health care facilities in the South Kalimantan region in 2020

Introduction Inadequate biomedical waste management not only poses significant risk of infection due to pathogens such as HIV and Hepatitis B and C virus but also carries the risk of water, air, and soil pollution thereby adversely affecting the environment and community at large. Therefore, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare commissioned implementation of an Infection Management and Environment Plan (IMEP) in health-care facilities. Hence, this study is undertaken to assess the knowledge, attitude, practice, and gaps in implementing the biomedical waste management practices at the primary health-care facilities. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the Primary Health Centers of Hassan District. Details of knowledge, attitude, and practice of biomedical waste management were collected through observation, staff interview, and record review on the predesigned questionnaire. A score of 0, 1, and 2 was given for noncompliant (0), partially compliant (1), and fully compliant (2), respectively, based on the compliance. A scoring system was devised to evaluate the effectiveness of training as good, average, and poor. A score of >70 was considered as good, 50 to 70 as average, and <50 as poor. Results The mean efficacy score was 63; knowledge was good with a score of 74, attitude was average with a score of 63, and practice was also average with a score of 54. Conclusion There is a need for retraining of all the staff and strict supportive supervision by the district health authorities to ease the implementation requirements.

Per Capita

A health care demand model is estimated for each province in Pakistan to explain the outpatient visits to government hospitals over the period 1989-2006. The explanatory variables include the number of government hospitals per capita, doctors’ fee per visit at a private clinic, income per capita, the average price of medicine and the number of outpatient visits per capita in the previous period. All variables are significant determinants of the demand for health care in at least one province but their signs, magnitudes and the levels of significance vary. These variations may be attributed to cultural, social and religious factors that vary across provinces. Variations in health care quality offered at public hospitals may also be a factor. These factors and improved accessibility of health care facilities should be the focus of public policy aimed at increasing the usage of public sector health care facilities in Pakistan.

The Impact

Equal opportunity and access to health care services regardless of one’s socio-economic background is important for health equity. To achieve this, the Indonesian government introduced a national health insurance program named Jaminan Kesehatan Nasional in 2014 and provided insurance premium subsidies for poor people. The current study evaluates the health subsidy policy’s impact on the utilization of different kinds of health care facilities, both public and private. Two waves of Indonesian socio-economic surveys, namely 2013 and 2018, and two analysis methods, namely logistic regression, and difference-in-differences, were applied in this study. The results show that in first-level health care facilities, the health subsidy improves the probability of outpatient visits in public health centers and polyclinics but decreases the probability of outpatient visits in medical practices. Then, in secondary-level health care facilities, the health subsidy was found to increase the likelihood of outpatient visits in public hospitals; however, it lowers the probability of outpatient visits in private hospitals.
