Health care in the Kyrgyz Republic is financed from the following sources: the national budget, the funds of the Compulsory Health Insurance Fund and the local budget of the city of Bishkek, as well as co-payments of patients. Financial resources received from the state budget to finance the State Guarantee Program do not meet its real needs. The Kyrgyz Republic maintains a residual principle of health financing. Finding potential sources of resources for health and identifying ways to distribute and use them effectively requires better funding for public health organizations. In this regard, it is relevant to develop a mechanism to attract additional sources of funding and their effective use. The article assesses the sources of funding for public health organizations and examines potential sources of the public health system.

Public health in Kyrgyzstan is generally characterized by the dominance of inpatient care. There is an increase in hospitalization in all regions of the republic. This is an indicator of ineffective activity at the primary level, i.e. patients who have not been treated in polyclinics become hospital patients. This fact contradicts the goals of health care reform and shows that limited resources in health care are used inefficiently. A considerable part of the state funds is used for the treatment of privileged special patients. Accordingly, no more than 6% of budgetary funds are addressed for remaining citizens. During the analyzed period, the share of expenses for medicines decreased, most of the funds are aimed at increasing the salaries of medical staff, covering public services and other expenses. Customers who need state support do extra payment for doctors. Herewith a small share of their extra payment is used for treatment and nutrition in hospitals.

This research evaluates the efficiency of the state budget allocation in Vietnam in the period 2007-2016 by using econometric models of OLS, FEM, REM and FGLS. The estimated results from the model, together with the evaluation of the state budget allocation show that the budget allocation has achieved positive results, but the efficiency of budget allocation is still not high. Following this, the article gives some policy implications for Vietnam to effectively allocate the state budget in the near future.

Chapter 20 explores the strategic reasons why entities may challenge public health laws, and uses the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company v. FDA case to walk through the steps of a legal challenge to a public health law. The chapter also identifies the attorneys involved in defending public health laws on behalf of local, state, and federal government entities and explains how legal technical assistance from public health organizations can support their efforts. Finally, the chapter defines the role of amicus curiae briefs and how they may effectively contribute to the defense of public health laws and regulations.

Public health organizations typically try to raise literacy or counter misinformation with fact sheets and other data-centric messages. Yet research shows that disseminating more information does not necessarily combat myths. Storytelling offers the oral health community another option for engaging audiences and complementing the facts. The early–20th century research into fluoride is one example of an interesting story. Data and stories can complement each other. Using the elements of storytelling to report or summarize research findings could make such findings more relevant to health policy makers, whose decisions are often driven by values and evidence. Although the scientific literature has not produced a definitive template for instilling stories in a study manuscript, I provide several techniques and caveats for oral health researchers to consider.
