Health and Safety

Life is very unpredictable. Today, you might be in good shape, but we do not know what will happen next. However, life can also be practical. The practicality of life is something that most people hold onto. Everyone is so concerned with their personal life, especially their health. One way of being practical is to be prepared for the life ahead concerning your health. The cost of health insurance is on the rise, and the most common kinds of health insurances are medical health insurances.

With the current costs of medical care, it is readily understood why medical health insurance is badly needed. These medical health insurances pay much of the total hospital bills, while the person insured pays only a little. Such a transaction is very beneficial. If we have incurred medical health insurance then we need not worry about any emergencies that may come at any time.

The socialized system of healthcare delivery and financing, a relic of the British colonial era, still practiced in Sierra Leone has glaringly failed and any efforts at resuscitating it without implementation of major structural and systemic reform will only serve to prolong the inevitable.

Throughout the world, total state control and management of industries, services, markets and the means of production are gradually becoming a relic of the past. This model as practiced in the Sierra Leone healthcare system has empirically been proven to have served only to stifle innovation, growth, productivity and quality output with a resultant decline in overall living and healthcare standards of the citizenry. The current state of the hospitals and health centers glaringly highlights the systemic problems endemic in the entire government owned, managed, financed and operated health care system.

MEDICAL / HEALTH INTERNSHIP IN NEPAL/ MEDICAL ELECTIVES IN NEPAL

Volunteer Society Nepal aims to mobilize medical students and volunteers with health backgrounds in rural places where people do not have access to any health institutes, as the government is not able to provide adequate health services. On the other hand, rural Nepali people are often reluctant to go to the hospital and other modern health services because of orthodox thinking, superstition and other cultural influences.
