    Dominican Republic Health Care

    Health is the state of overall emotional and bodily wellbeing. Healthcare exists to provide healthiness to people and maintain their ideal conditions. In the country, health haphazardness has resulted in economic disgrace. It was because of the rising of infectious health disparities. Although healthcare institutions work tirelessly for the welfare of citizens, it is essential to note the prevalence of contagious diseases influences the Dominican economy.

    Life expectancy was 71 years for men and 77 years for women in 2016.

    In 2007 the Dominican Republic had a birth rate of 22.91 per 1000 and a death rate of 5.32 per 1000. Youth in the DR is the healthiest age group.

    The Human Rights Measurement Initiative finds that this Nation is fulfilling 86.0% of what it should be fulfilled for the right to health based on its level of income.

    When looking at the right to health with respect to children, the country achieves 89.3% of what is expected based on its current income. In regards to the right to health amongst the adult population, the country achieves only 84.6% of what is expected based on the nation’s level of income.

    The Dominican Republic falls into the “bad” category when evaluating the right to reproductive health because the nation is fulfilling only 84.0% of what the nation is expected to achieve based on the resources (income) it has available.

      Economy of Dominica

      Although the financial services industry is increasingly becoming its largest income, agriculture, with bananas as the principal crop, is still Dominica’s economic mainstay. Banana production employs, directly or indirectly, upwards of one-third of the workforce. This sector is highly vulnerable to weather conditions and to external events affecting commodity prices. The value of banana exports fell to less than 25% of merchandise trade earnings in 1998 compared to about 44% in 1994.

      In view of the European Union’s announced phase-out of preferred access of bananas to its markets, agricultural diversification is a priority. This country has made some progress, with the export of small quantities of citrus fruits and vegetables and the introduction of coffee, patchouli, aloe vera, cut flowers, and exotic fruits such as mangoes, guavas, and papayas. This country has also had some success in increasing its manufactured exports, with soap as the primary product. Dominica also recently entered the offshore financial services market.

      Because the region is mostly volcanic and has few beaches, development of tourism has been slow compared with that on neighboring islands. Nevertheless, Dominica’s high, rugged mountains, rainforests, freshwater lakes, hot springs, waterfalls, and diving spots make it an attractive destination. Cruise ship stopovers have increased following the development of modern docking and waterfront facilities in the capital. Eco-tourism also is a growing industry on the island.

        Economy

        The Economy of Cuba is a planned economy dominated by state-run enterprises. Most industries are owned and operated by the government and most of the labor force is employed by the state. Following the fall of the Soviet Union, the Communist Party encouraged the formation of cooperatives and self-employment.

        In the year 2000, public sector employment was 76% and private sector employment, mainly composed of self-employment, was 23% compared to the 1981 ratio of 91% to 8%. Investment is restricted and requires approval by the government. The government sets most prices and rations goods to citizens. In 2009, this country ranked 51st out of 182 countries with a Human Development Index of 0.863; much higher than its GDP per capita rank (95th). In 2012, the country’s public debt was 35.3% of GDP. Inflation (CDP) was 5.5%. That year the economy GDP growth was 3%.

        Housing and transportation costs are low. Cubans receive free education, health care and food subsidies. Corruption is common, although allegedly lower than in most other countries in Latin America.

        The country achieved a more even distribution of income since the Revolution and the subsequent economic embargo by the United States. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cuba’s GDP declined by 33% between 1990 and 1993, partially due to loss of Soviet subsidies and to a crash in sugar prices in the early 1990s. Yet Cuba retained relatively high levels of healthcare and education. 
        In the mid-1990s tourism surpassed sugar, long the mainstay of the Cuban economy, as the primary source of foreign exchange. Havana devotes significant resources to building tourist facilities and renovating historic structures. Cuban officials estimate roughly 1.6 million tourists visited yhis region in 1999 yielding about $1.9 billion in gross revenues. In 2000, 1,773,986 foreign visitors arrived in Cuba. Revenue from tourism reached US $1.7 billion. By 2012, some 3M visitors brought nearly £2 billion yearly.

        The rapid growth of tourism has had widespread social and economic repercussions. This led to speculation of the emergence of a two-tier economy and the fostering of a state of tourist apartheid. This situation was exacerbated by the influx of dollars during the 1990s, potentially creating a dual economy based on the dollar (the currency of tourists) on the one hand and the peso on the other. Scarce imported goods – and even some of local manufacture, such as rum and coffee- could be had at dollar-only stores, but were hard to find or unavailable at peso prices.

        As a result, Cubans who earned only in the peso economy, outside the tourist sector, were at a disadvantage. Those with dollar incomes based upon the service industry began to live more comfortably. This widened the gulf between Cubans’ material standards of living, in conflict with the Government’s long term socialist policies.​

          HOW THE HEALTH CARE LAW IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE FOR THE PEOPLE 

          For too long, too many hardworking Americans paid the price for policies that handed free rein to insurance companies and put barriers between patients and their doctors. The Affordable Care Act gives hardworking families in this Country the security they deserve. The new health care law forces insurers to play by the rules, prohibiting them from dropping your coverage if you get sick, billing you into bankruptcy because of an annual or lifetime limit, or, soon, discriminating against anyone with a pre-existing condition. 

          All Americans will have the security of knowing that they don’t have to worry about losing coverage if they’re laid off or change jobs.  And insurance companies now have to cover your preventive care like mammograms and other cancer screenings.  The new law also makes a significant investment in State and community-based efforts that promote public health, prevent disease and protect against public health emergencies. 

          Health reform is already making a difference for the people of Puerto Rico by:
          Making prescription drugs affordable for seniors
          The health care law includes benefits to make Medicare prescription drug coverage more affordable. In 2010, 91,611 people with Medicare in this Country  who hit the prescription drug donut hole received a $250 rebate. In 2011, people with Medicare who hit the donut hole began receiving a 50 percent discount on covered brand-name drugs and a discount on generic drugs.

          Since the law was enacted, Puerto Rico residents with Medicare have saved a total of $118,057,693 on their prescription drugs. In the first nine months of 2012, 55,296 people with Medicare received a 50 percent discount on their covered brand-name prescription drugs when they hit the donut hole. This discount has resulted in an average savings of $634 per person, and a total savings of $35,082,005 in this Country  in 2012. By 2020, the law will close the donut hole.

          Covering preventive services with no deductible or co-pay

          In 2011, 65,495 people with Medicare in this Country  received free preventive services – such as mammograms and colonoscopies – or a free annual wellness visit with their doctor. And in the first nine months of 2012, 52,753 people with Medicare received free preventive services.

          Scrutinizing unreasonable premium increases

          In every State and for the first time under Federal law, insurance companies are required to publicly justify their actions if they want to raise rates by 10 percent or more. Puerto Rico has received $3,000,000 under the new law to help fight unreasonable premium increases.

          Supporting Puerto Rico’s work on Affordable Insurance Exchanges

          Puerto Rico has received $917,205 in grants for research, planning, information technology development, and implementation of Affordable Insurance Exchanges.

          $917,205 in Planning Grants:  This grant provides  in this Country  the resources needed to conduct the research and planning necessary to build a better health insurance marketplace and determine how its exchange will be operated and governed. Learn how the funds are being used in Puerto Rico here. 
          Preventing illness and promoting health (Last Updated: March 15, 2012)

          Since 2010, In this Country has received $3,200,000 in grants from the Prevention and Public Health Fund created by the Affordable Care Act. This new fund was created to support effective policies in Puerto Rico, its communities, and nationwide so that all Americans can lead longer, more productive lives.

          Increasing support for community health centers

          The Affordable Care Act increases the funding available to community health centers nationwide. In Puerto Rico, 20 health centers operate 68 sites, providing preventive and primary health care services to 362,271 people.  Health Center grantees in this Country  have received $67,311,481 under the Affordable Care Act to support ongoing health center operations and to establish new health center sites, expand services, and/or support major capital improvement projects.

          Strengthening partnerships with Puerto Rico (Last Updated: March 15, 2012)

          The law gives states support for their work to build the health care workforce, crack down on fraud, and support public health.  Examples of Affordable Care Act grants to Puerto Rico not outlined above include:

          $1,600,000 for school-based health centers, to help clinics expand and provide more health care services such as screenings to students.
          $43,000 to support outreach to eligible Medicare beneficiaries about their benefits.
          $1,500,000 for Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Programs. These programs bring health professionals to meet with at-risk families in their homes and connect families to the kinds of help that can make a real difference in a child’s health, development, and ability to learn – such as health care, early education, parenting skills, child abuse prevention, and nutrition.

            Health in Barbados

            American President George Washington accompanied his brother Lawrence to Barbados to help him recover from a bout of tuberculosis in the warm climate of the island in 1751. While there George contracted smallpox.

            Healthcare
            Expenditure on health per capita in 2014 was $1,014, 7.5% of GDP. The country has above the average ratio of health care professionals to population.

            All Barbadian citizens are covered by Universal health care. This Nation has eight polyclinics throughout the country, 5 Geriatric hospitals for the care of the elderly, and a network of Child Care facilities, in addition to the main Queen Elizabeth Hospital (General Hospital) located in Bridgetown.

            There are private medical clinics, including the Sandy Crest Medical Centre on the west coast, and the FMH Emergency Medical Clinic, just outside Bridgetown.

            The Barbados Psychiatric Hospital is located in Black Rock, Bridgetown.

            The Ministry of Health & Wellness also operates the Drug Service, which provides a pharmacy service for the island.

            In 2011, the Government signed a memorandum of understanding to lease its 22 acres (8.9 ha) Saint Joseph Hospital site for the Denver, Colorado-based America World Clinics (now Traverse Global Healthcare). Under the deal, the group will use this country as one of its main destinations for medical tourism at that facility. The government also announced it would begin constructing a new $900 million state-of-the-art hospital to replace the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

              Health Care in Bahamas

              Rates of non-communicable diseases have risen to the point where treatment costs challenge the viability of the healthcare system.
              Health standards have greatly improved throughout the Bahamas in recent years. New hospitals and healthcare facilities have opened in Nassau and Grand Bahama. These healthcare facilities have also lowered the price of care for their residents.
              In comparison to the United States, the cost of a procedure in this country is about 30-40% less. Still, there are high levels of health and economic inequality and most of the population are unable to obtain private health insurance. Catastrophic spending on health care has bankrupted many patients and their families.
              Diseases
              Vaccination against diseases such as measles and diphtheria has lowered the infection and death rate among children. The infection rate of HIV/AIDS is quite high — in 2013, an estimated 500 people died from AIDS in this nation.

              Healthcare
              The National Health Insurance program was established in 2017. This program gives anyone who is a resident of this country, healthcare for no cost up front when receiving the service. There are about 42,000 Bahamians or 10% of the population that have enrolled, but membership is voluntary. The Out Islands are serviced by small government clinics. There are 80 primary care providers, including 4 private labs which provides care across New Providence, Grand Bahama, Abaco and Exuma.

              About 8% of GDP is spent on health care in 2018. This Nation is one of the least efficient nations in the world when it comes to value-based care, according to the National Health Insurance Authority.

              A tax on wages to fund National Health Insurance was proposed in 2018.

              In December 2017 there were 349 registered nurses and 98 clinically trained nurses in the Department of Public Health, 753 registered and 283 clinically trained nurses in the Public Hospitals Authority. 226 registered nurses were needed by the Department of Public Health and 302 by the Public Hospitals Authority.

                Find out the Best Insurers

                How find out the best Insurers throughout Bermuda?
                Some Tips

                1- Find the right coverage 
                First, it’s important to gather information about the right coverage, and obtain assurance quotes from, a variety of insurers as part of your overall selection process. In order to do that, begin by determining the type of coverage you need in order to make a right comparison across multiple companies. 

                Now it’s time to research the types of insurers from which to obtain that coverage.

                2- Check License Status
                 Insurers must be licensed by the country in which they sell coverage. For added peace of mind, be sure you’re buying coverage from a licensed provider in your area by checking with the department of insurers of your Country, either online or by phone.

                3- Check financial stability
                Finding out the financial stability of an insurer. One can search for an insurer’s financial strength rating, in the websites of companies such as A.M. BestStandard & Poor’sMoody’s or Fitch. While most of the major insurers are safe bets, this is especially helpful when considering smaller, lesser-known providers.

                4- Customer service and claims support
                Check consumer complaint ratios. Many departments of insurers websites publish consumer complaint ratios for the insurers. A consumer complaint ratio tells you how many complaints an insurer received for every 1,000 claims its policyholders filed. It’s also a good idea to check a company’s complaint ratio in several other countries for a company might have great ratings in one, but not-so-great ratings in another. For added protection, look for companies with low consumer complaint ratios in a variety of countries.

                Health Care in Bermuda

                Bermuda is generally considered to be in good health. The health system in Bermuda consists of both public and private providers. The Bermuda Hospital Council manages the island’s only hospital, the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital, which offers comprehensive medical services.

                Here are a few highlights of medical care in Bermuda:

                Health System: Bermuda has a universal health care system called Bermuda Health Plan (BHP). BHP provides access to vital health services for all residents of Bermuda, including primary care, hospital care and prescription drugs. The system is supported by contributions from employers and employees, as well as government grants.

                Private Health Insurance – In addition to BHP, many Bermuda residents opt to purchase private health insurance to supplement their coverage. Private insurance can offer extra benefits, such as coverage for optional procedures, specialist visits and longer hospital stay.

                Medical Facilities: King Edward VII Memorial Hospital is the primary medical care facility in Bermuda. It offers a variety of services, including emergency care, surgical interventions, diagnostic imaging, maternity care and specialized treatments. The hospital is supported by a number of outpatient clinics and specialized facilities all over the island.

                Specialized Care: Although Bermuda has a well-equipped hospital, certain specialized treatments may not be available on the island. In such cases, patients may have to be referred out of the country for advanced or complex medical procedures. The Bermuda Board of Health helps coordinate international removals and manage related costs.

                Health Promotion: Bermuda places great emphasis on health promotion and preventive care. The government and various organizations in Bermuda are actively promoting healthy living, regular health checks and screening for health problems early on.

                Travel Health: Bermuda requires visitors to have travel health insurance to cover their medical expenses for the duration of their stay. You should check with your insurer to ensure that you have adequate coverage for any unexpected medical situation.

                  Health in Mali

                  Mali faced several health challenges that impacted the overall well-being of its population.

                  1. Infectious Diseases: Mali struggled with various infectious diseases, including malaria, cholera, measles, and tuberculosis. Malaria, in particular, was a significant public health concern, causing a high number of deaths, especially among children.
                  2. Limited Access to Healthcare: Access to healthcare services was limited in many regions of Mali, especially in rural areas. The shortage of medical facilities, healthcare professionals, and medical supplies posed significant challenges for the population to receive adequate medical attention.
                  3. Malnutrition: Malnutrition was prevalent in Mali, especially among children under the age of five. The lack of proper nutrition led to stunted growth and increased vulnerability to infectious diseases.
                  4. Maternal and Child Health: Maternal and child mortality rates were relatively high. The country faced difficulties in providing adequate maternal care during pregnancy and childbirth, resulting in increased maternal and infant mortality rates.
                  5. Health Infrastructure: The health infrastructure in Mali has been often inadequate and required improvement. Many healthcare facilities lacked essential equipment, and the quality of medical services varied across regions.
                  6. Conflict and Security: The ongoing conflict in some areas of Mali disrupted healthcare services and hindered humanitarian aid efforts. The instability in these regions further exacerbated health challenges, leaving many vulnerable populations without access to basic healthcare.
                  7. HIV/AIDS: Mali also faced a growing HIV/AIDS epidemic, with an increasing number of people living with the virus and limited access to antiretroviral treatment.

                    Zimbabwe suffered occasional outbreaks of acute diseases (such as plague in 1994). The gains on the national health were eroded by structural adjustment in the 1990s, the impact of the HIV/AIDS pandemic and the economic crisis since the year 2000. In 2006, Zimbabwe had one of the lowest life expectancies in the world according to UN figure—44 for men and 43 for women, down from 60 in 1990, but recovered to 60 in 2015. The rapid drop was ascribed mainly to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Infant mortality rose from 6% in the late 1990s to 12.3% by 2004. By 2016 HIV/AIDS prevalence had been reduced to 13.5%, compared to 40% in 1998.

                    In August 2008 large areas of Zimbabwe were struck by the ongoing cholera epidemic. By December 2008 more than 10,000 people had been infected in all but one of Zimbabwe’s provinces and the outbreak had spread to Botswana, Mozambique, South Africa and Zambia. On 4 December 2008 the Zimbabwe government declared the outbreak to be a national emergency and asked for international aid.[

                    By 9 March 2009 The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 4,011 people had succumbed to the waterborne disease since the outbreak began in August 2008, and the total number of cases recorded had reached 89,018. In Harare, the city council offered free graves to cholera victims. There had been signs that the disease is abating, with cholera infections down by about 50% to around 4,000 cases a week.

                    The 2014 maternal mortality rate per 100,000 births in Zimbabwe was 614 compared to 960 in 2010–11 and 232 in 1990. The under five mortality rate, per 1,000 births was 75 in 2014 (94 in 2009).

                      Zambian Economy 

                      ​This nation is one of Sub-Saharan Africa’s most highly urbanized countries. About one-half of the country’s 11.5 million people are concentrated in a few urban zones strung along the major transportation corridors, while rural areas are under-populated. Unemployment and underemployment are serious problems.

                      National GDP has actually doubled since independence, but due in large part to high birth rates and AIDS per capita annual incomes are currently at about two-thirds of their levels of independence. This low GDP per capita, which stands at $1400, places the country among the world’s poorest nations. Social indicators are improving, particularly in measurements of life expectancy at birth (about 56 years) and maternal and infant mortality (56 per 1,000 live births).

                      The high population growth rate of 2.3% per annum makes it difficult for per capita income to increase. The country’s rate of economic growth cannot support rapid population growth or the strain which HIV/AIDS-related issues (i.e., rising medical costs, street children, and a decline in worker productivity) place on government resources.

                      For the first time since 1989 Zambia’s economic growth reached the 6%-7% mark (in 2007) needed to reduce poverty significantly. Copper output has increased steadily since 2004, due to higher copper prices and the opening of new mines. The maize harvest was again good in 2005, helping boost GDP and agricultural exports.

                      Cooperation continues with international bodies on programs to reduce poverty, including a new lending arrangement with the IMF in the second quarter of 2004. A tighter monetary policy will help cut inflation, but Zambia still has a serious problem with high public debt.

                      Copper
                      The economy has historically been based on the copper-mining industry. The discovery of copper is owed partly to Frederick Russell Burnham, the famous American scout who worked for Cecil Rhodes. By 1998, however, output of copper had fallen to a low of 228,000 tonnes, continuing a 30-year decline in output due to lack of investment, and until recently, low copper prices and uncertainty over privatization. In 2001, the first full year of a privatized industry, Zambia recorded its first year of increased productivity since 1973.

                      The future of the copper industry in this country was thrown into doubt in January 2002, when investors in Zambia’s largest copper mine announced their intention to withdraw their investment. However, surging copper prices from 2004 to the present day rapidly rekindled international interest in Zambia’s copper sector with a new buyer found for KCCM and massive investments in expanding capacity launched.

                      China has become a major investor in the Zambian copper industry, and in February 2007, the two countries announced the creation of a Chinese-Zambian economic partnership zone around the Chambishi copper mine.

                      Today copper mining is central to the economic prospects for Zambia and covers 85% of all the country’s exports, but concerns remain that the economy is not diversified enough to cope with a collapse in international copper prices.
