Public Health: Ethical Concerns and Potential Barriers

Introduction Public health is an important aspect of human life and it is necessary to reliably provide appropriate medical services to human beings in order to confirm that medical personnel are protected. Public health is the arts and sciences aimed at preventing diseases, thereby extending the life span of individuals and promoting health through various health agencies, society, public and private (Aginam, 2005). The majority of civilians are to treat disease prevention rather than treatment. Because practitioners believe that prevention is superior to the basic principles of treatment.

Discuss the public health monitoring system in the following areas: 1. What are the requirements, 2. Its potential function, 3. Potential ethical issues, 4. Its application / use in public health practices / surveys. Public health monitoring is the continuation, systematic collection, analysis and interpretation of health-related data necessary for the planning, implementation and evaluation of public health practices (World Health Organization document). I will explain the system separately in the following context

In this study, published papers, reviews and reports on cost-benefit to public health interventions and barriers to investment in public health were reviewed. Where possible, a potential approach to dealing with barriers and increasing investment in public health was developed, using examples of successful strategies. Many public health interventions have been shown to save money, and some interventions have a cost benefit ratio equal to or greater than that of medical intervention. Examples include the Tobacco Control Initiative, 5 to 11 vaccinations, 11 to 13 cardiovascular disease prevention 11, 14, 15, and workplace health promotion programs 16 to 20

There is evidence to support investment in public health, but some obstacles are recognized 27-30 Barriers to investment in public health include cost-benefit requirements for public health intervention There is. Compared to treatment, the time frame required for some public health interventions, "identifiable victim effect", the impact of interest groups, and single slips can not move the reality of policy. These obstacles are explained in detail below.

By identifying barriers to investment in public health, you can understand these barriers and develop possible ways to deal with them. Strategies have been proposed that may help address barriers to public health investment.
