The simple act of increasing international funding more can not achieve alone goals if the health system is too weak to support the rapid increase of service coverage, and would require support activities where not enough health workers and health facilities or where people can not get health care because they can not pay costs.

Systems should be the financing of Interior Health for health care hard to get a broader coverage and preserved, and is based financing universal coverage on two interrelated, the first is to ensure not prevent financial barriers people from using the services they need, a prevention and promotion, treatment and rehabilitation, and the second is to ensure that they will not suffer financial deprivation as they are forced to pay for these services.

The health services cost money must pay a what. Still low-income countries, even with the increase in external financing to talk to the health, need to find approximately 75% of the funding for health from domestic sources, and the way in which these countries over this critical funding. The direct payments necessary when people have access to care (user fees, for example) that prevents many people from seeking care in the first place, and may cause a financial disaster and poverty for so many. Needs to improve universal coverage systems increases the amount of funding-mediated forms of advance payments (such as taxes and / or insurance), and then pool these funds for the deployment of risk the financial of the disease on the population, and requires systems to health financing, with incentives built to ensure the use of this funding effectively and fairly.

The report of the WHO global health following about health financing and will discuss that almost all countries, whether poor or rich, can improve the coverage of services or prevention of risk of financial dealing with one or more of the tasks the Chairperson of the financial system, any increase in funding adequate and collect funds for the deployment of financial and exchange risk prudently.

In addition to the above, was highlighted in some of the views published this month on some of the issues faced by policy makers inevitable as they develop their financial systems of health, has identified Fryatt and Mills 13 major achievements of the Group of finance the world's leading high-level for the health systems in terms of providing more funds , and declared that he helped to maintain the momentum for increased international financial support for health in low-income countries at a time of financial crisis. In the course of answered questions, discussed the McCoy and Brix 14 that the Panel's report was disappointing, it has provided support lukewarm only for the collection of taxes on financial transactions, an option aimed at the banking sector, while tax consumers the supporting groups of people poorer, and could give a focus on innovative financing backfire by encouraging countries to reneging on their commitments to provide official development assistance, and in fact are still a few countries so far only committed to its promises.

Focuses Yates on the way to increase funding for health and make the case for the removal of user fees, starting with services for women and children, on the other hand, claims to Jewett and Danilyan that the debate over user fees is not a clear-cut a lot, for example, has developed Armenia fee schedule for official for health services as a way to balance the informal payments or calculated.

Has declared Leatherman and Dunford conclusion that the funding little presents increasingly to the poor people relatively, most of them women, who have the opportunities to make money, suggesting that it can be that this funding can help people also on access to health services in places where they have to pay against which .

noreply@blogger.com (miga) — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 10:16:00 +0000

When comparing the inequality of access to adequate health care between the sexes, the results are surprising to some extent, in the United States, women are generally able to obtain the levels of health care. And these differences can be explained in part by consideration of several factors, including universal insurance coverage rates (the privatization of public assistance) between men
And women, and the effects of social and economic factors at certain levels of coverage between men and women, and the differences between the sexes in public health concepts and health care.

In the United States, women have a better chance of access to health care, and is one of the reasons lies in the high rates of health insurance among women. In a study of a group of residents of Harlem, it was found that 86% of women have health insurance (or the privatization of public assistance), in contrast, there is 74% of men only show that they have health insurance. This trend in rising rates of insurance coverage among women is not specific to this category of the population but represent the U.S. population in general.
Perceptions may help health and health care based on gender in the interpretation of the causes of failure of men from the women in the levels of health insurance coverage. We have sacrificed and reports high rate of disease among women compared to men, and this indicates that women are more vulnerable to disease than men, women need health care, and thus more need to get medical insurance.
Also linked to gender differences related to health care by several factors including social and economic factors, including differences in the labor market and geographic variation
Levels of government assistance available to men and women. In poor communities there are few employment opportunities, which include medical insurance for both sexes and usually Martial flame of more women into jobs that have these features. And government assistance available to those individuals who work in jobs not offer medical insurance coverage varies between men and women, Women, and especially those who have children, get a higher percentage of men.
Finally, Vatican access to appropriate medical care differ between men and women differ depends entirely on the social and economic factors including monthly income and the nature of full-time work, men and women with high incomes and those with full-time jobs are receiving more opportunities to get adequate health care.
