Access to Healthcare
There are a number of root causes for the global issue of lack of health care. The big ones relate to the fact that the world is still building its health care capacity, starting from a point pre-industrialization of very few people having access. This problem is compounded by a rapidly-growing population that it many parts of the world makes it almost impossible to keep up with infrastructure even when the money is there. That said, two major issues that are constraining the ability to governments to increase access to health care. These issues are spending on health care and the number of physicians.
Access to Health Care highlights these two issues. Health care spending, the site notes, is subject to great disparity between the wealthy nations and the non-wealthy nations. Health care spending, they note, is 4500 times higher in the top 5% of the world's population (by wealth) than it is for the lowest 20%. Even with this spending, there is uneven access to health care. For example, the country that spends...
Governments lack the fiscal capacity to make massive investments in health care, and private entities often face a market that is unable to pay for private health care. The result is that many parts of the developing world have either high end hospitals for the wealthy and a smattering of woefully underfunded clinics for the rest of the populace.
This can also relate to political instability, where infrastructure is damaged. Also, it needs to be studied whether the cause of physician shortfall relates to lack of training supply or an issue of emigration, where the talented doctors are leaving the country for better opportunities elsewhere. The global shortage of physicians allows for opportunities for physicians to move, which creates problems in the countries that can…

Wound Care Chronic wounds represent a devastating health care problem with significant clinical, physical and social implications. Evidence suggests that consistent, meticulous and skilled care provides the primary means by which successful wound care and healing is promoted. The occurrence of wounds has plagued humankind throughout recorded history and remains a major source of morbidity and mortality in several disciplines of clinical medicine. Within this thesis, an effort will be made

Researchers have an occasion to further organizational science and to make research practical by producing information that can impact changing organizational forms and circumstances. Pragmatically, academic researchers are not likely to get access to a company that is going through change unless the practitioners believe the research will be helpful (Gibson & Mohrman, 2001). There have been a number of calls to augment the significance and effectiveness of organizational science
