Issues Within Governing Low Income Countries

With no doubt, making health care accessible is the most significant issue in the health system in low-middle-income countries. This affects low-middle income countries and there are fewer hospitals, fewer doctors which results in less access to healthcare. The finances to support more healthcare organizations is non existent so people have to travel long distances to even see a doctor. The public sector for healthcare is extremely weak and unsupported while the private sector is the opposite. This causes a disbalance in governance because there is no regulation in the private sector. Health disparity leads to poor public health which directly affects productivity and the national economy. Health disparity is the starting point of this a vicious cycle.

Something that would benefit the issues in low-middle income countries is training the lower-level employees to do what higher-level employees do. Because there is a lack of educated employees, those that know what they’re doing should pass on their knowledge to others so that there can be more patients seen. It is important to help the government communities in low-and-middle- income countries recognize the costs and consequences of poor public health on economics. In addition to these solutions, there could be a way to create policies that no one should be ever turned away. The poor should have to pay what they can afford and the very poor should have access to free healthcare. Many people are turned away to come back another day which results in an addition of patients in the next several days. The last thing that can be done is creating a national survey to see where there is a lack in the health status. After this point, funds and health resources can either be raised or/and shifted to supply these areas.
