Facets are associated with the many sides of a jewel, but a facet can also be the side of any surfaces, such as the small plane surfaces on a column, or the multiple surfaces of any rock. For researchers, ethics also contains many facets. The protection of human subjects is one facet of being an […]
Social and economic inequality is detrimental to the health of any society. This is true when the society is diverse, multicultural, overpopulated and undergoing rapid but unequal economic growths, including immigrations issues such as undocumented immigrants. Anything undocumented cannot be measured but I think there can be estimative factors leading to predictions of the result. […]
One of the preventive benefits that ACA covers is the idea of controlling weight—obesity. Some insurance companies have helped obese patients fight fat for years. They’ve offered weight-loss and wellness programs at businesses, schools and in communities. Some have paid for prescription obesity medications and even covered expensive bariatric surgeries, including gastric bypass. But now, […]
Introduction: I prefer to write on public-private partnership in healthcare because of its enormous benefits in the healthcare communities. Healthcare partnership allows multiple or diverse groups of healthcare communities to work together, in a common prospect and ideology (Sasenick ,1994).

In other words, researchers should rely on a choice of which design is most suitable to their community health assessment by clearly making sense of potential data while identifying which […]
The philosophy of science can be compared and exemplified with an innovation toward the science of healthcare. This is particularly important in many science-researched articles that explore the innovation and industry competition. For example, there has been a vital historical debate about and on the role and impact of competition on healthcare innovative activities in […]

This can range from thought patterns to action. “In everyday usage, paradigm refers either to a model or an example to be followed or to an established system or way of doing […]
South Africa still struggles with complexity of apartheid that existed for decades. I will like to particularly comment on the issues and problems of South Africa. Firstly, I have personally been to South Africa in numerous times. A friend of mine use to work with UN in Cape Town. And honestly speaking, Cape Town is […]
There is an important article that furthered the discussion of health inequality and inequity. I think there is an issue of an unexplained idea of health inequality in today’s society.
