WHO

The WHO is an international organization which is responsible for giving


direction on international health issues, setting standards, and providing
information for governments to make decisions. One of the principles of its
constitution reads as follows: “The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of
health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of
race, religion or political belief, economic or social condition.” It means that
everyone has the right to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental
health which includes access to all medical services. According to the World
Health Organization (WHO), a well-functioning health care system requires a
strong financing mechanism; a well-trained and adequately-
paid workforce; reliable information on which to base decisions and policies; and
well maintained health facilities and logistics to deliver quality medicines and
technologies.
Recommended by the WHO an idealized health care system should
include primary, secondary and tertiary medical services. The primary care
includes general practitioner (GP) or family doctor services. GPs treat common
diseases and prevent them. They also offer counseling and monitor your health. In
most countries secondary care is provided in the place where a primary care person
such as a doctor refers a patient to a specialist. Secondary care providers typically
do not have the type of continuous contact with patients that general practitioners
do, but provide specialized consulting and treatment in the hospitals and
polyclinics. And finally, tertiary care includes specialized care, often hospital care,
in great specialized centers which require expensive equipment and highly trained
professionals. It includes Cardiosurgery, Neurosurgery, Eye surgery, Oncology etc.

Nowadays, Ukraine is facing deep changes and reforms in healthcare system


which are targeted to establishment and support of strong postgraduate
programs for training in family medicine. The Ministry of Health of Ukraine
continues a fundamental transformation of the national healthcare system to
prepare and introduce insurance medicine. Many people still go to the state
hospitals and polyclinics for their medical needs because private medical
services cost a pretty penny for the majority of Ukrainian population.
Health care systems are organizations established to meet
the health needs of the population. The access to health care may vary across
different countries, but the human right to health care means that hospitals, clinics,
medicines, and doctors’ services must be accessible, available, acceptable, and of
good quality for everyone.

II. READ AN ABSTRACT. FILL IN THE NECESSARY WORD. DISCUSS


THE PHENOMENON OF MEDICAL (DENTAL) TOURISM.

Free NHS dental treatment in England.


Britain has had a National Health Service (NHS) since the late 1940s. Most
medical treatment in Great Britain is free, but charges are made for
drugs, spectacles and dental care. Free emergency medical treatment is given to
any visitor from abroad, who becomes ill while staying in the country. But those,
who come to the UK especially for treatment, must pay for it. The healthcare
system and health insurance in the UK are free at the point of use. Dental care in
the UK can be expensive and you need to pay a contribution for every treatment.
Some people are entitled to free dental treatment. You don’t pay for treatment if
you are pregnant, you are under 18 or you receive a low income benefits. When
you make an appointment tell your dentist you want NHS treatment. When you
arrive for your appointment, you'll be given a form to fill in. If you don't have to
pay, put a cross in the appropriate box. If you aren't sure whether you're entitled to
help, you must pay. You can claim a refund, but make sure you keep all receipts.
Refund claims must be submitted within three months of the date on which you
paid.
