In the fall of 2004, President Bush reiterated U.S. support for crating an independent Palestinian state and called for the establishment of such a state within five years. While the prospect of an independent Palestinian state remains uncertain, the Palestinian Authority, the government of Israel, the United States, Russia, the European Union, and the United Nations all officially support establishing such a state. This study examines options for strengthening the health system of a future independent Palestinian state. Successful development of the Palestinian health system is worthwhile in its own right, and it may be a relatively cost-effective way to help demonstrate the tangible benefits of independence and peaceful relations with neighboring countries. Moreover, many of the strategies described in this volume can be implemented prior to independence, with the goal of improving the health status and health care services of Palestinians. As one component of a broader RAND analysis of options for structuring the institutions of a potential future Palestinian state (see the full report on previous page), this study should be of interest to Palestinians, Israelis, the international community, and organizations and individuals committed to strengthening health and health care for Palestinians.

Pediatric palliative care is a field of significant growth as health care systems recognize the benefits of palliative care in areas such as neonatal intensive care, pediatric ICU, and chronic pediatric illnesses. Pediatric Palliative Care, the fourth volume in the HPNA Palliative Nursing Manuals series, highlights key issues related to the field. Chapters address pediatric hospice, symptom management, pediatric pain, the neonatal intensive care unit, transitioning goals of care between the emergency department and intensive care unit, and grief and bereavement in pediatric palliative care. The content of the concise, clinically focused volumes in the HPNA Palliative Nursing Manuals series is one resource for nurses preparing for specialty certification exams and provides a quick-reference in daily practice. Plentiful tables and patient teaching points make these volumes useful resources for nurses.

Over the past two decades, there has been a major increase in research into the effects of the arts on health and well-being, alongside developments in practice and policy activities in different countries across the WHO European Region and further afield. This report synthesizes the global evidence on the role of the arts in improving health and well-being, with a specific focus on the WHO European Region. Results from over 3000 studies identified a major role for the arts in the prevention of ill health, promotion of health, and management and treatment of illness across the lifespan. The reviewed evidence included study designs such as uncontrolled pilot studies, case studies, small-scale cross-sectional surveys, nationally representative longitudinal cohort studies, community-wide ethnographies and randomized controlled trials from diverse disciplines. The beneficial impact of the arts could be furthered through acknowledging and acting on the growing evidence base; promoting arts engagement at the individual, local and national levels; and supporting cross-sectoral collaboration.

Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Health - Health system, Uganda Christian University, course: BBA, language: English, abstract: This study focuses on the health care service quality and patient satisfaction in Uganda. Chapter One covers the background to the study, statement of the problem, objectives of the study, research questions, scope of the study, significance of the study, justification, the conceptual framework and definition of key terms and concepts. Chapter Two discusses the relevant literature that has been reviewed in the area of healthcare service quality and patient satisfaction. It also highlights various researchers and authors that have emphasized more on the topic in accordance with the research objectives. The chapter covers the theoretical review, literature on the variables under study, existing gaps in literature, amongst others. Chapter Three gives the methodology that will be used to accomplish the research objectives and questions. It gives direction to follow to get answers to the area of concern. This chapter presents the Research Design, Area of Study, Study Population, Sample Size and Sampling Techniques, Data Collection methods and techniques, Quality Control Methods, measurement of variables, Data Analysis Techniques, Ethical Considerations, and Limitations to the study are briefly discussed. We found the hospital has no running water; the theatre is dysfunctional while electricity only visits. A nurse gave me two options: either to pick drugs after two days because the drugs were out of stock or buy them from private clinics. These and many more are some of the challenges faced by patients who access a number of hospitals in Uganda. Who will heal Uganda's ailing health care system, remains a key question yet to be answered.

The second edition of a guide, which introduced a simple, yet highly effective method for the relief of cancer pain. Thoroughly revised and updated, the new edition further refines the WHO method, which advocates the use of a small number of relatively inexpensive drugs, including morphine. Revisions draw on experiences with millions of patients around the world as well as new knowledge about the specific pain syndromes unique to cancer. Completely new are chapters describing the international system by which morphine and other opioids are made available for medical purposes. The book has two parts. Part one provides a practical guide to the relief of cancer pain, concentrating on drug treatment as the mainstay of pain management. The most extensive section sets out detailed guidelines for the selection and prescribing of non-opioid analgesics, opioid analgesics, drugs for neuropathic pain, and adjuvant drugs for the treatment of adverse effects, the enhancement of pain relief and the management of concomitant psychological disturbances. Information ranges from explanations of how specific drugs work, through the precautions to take in the presence of certain disorders, to a list of factors that influence the effectiveness of opioids. Concerning the use of opioids, readers are reminded that psychological dependence does not occur in cancer patients and that the only correct dose of morphine is the one that relieves the pain. Part two provides a guide to opioid availability. A discussion of the reasons why opioids continue to be underprescribed or difficult to obtain is followed by an explanation of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs.
