1. What are some of the key human resource challenges that low and middle income countries face in staffing and operating their health systems? (CH. 5). What are YOUR thoughts about what you read? Please address the term ‘brain drain’ in your answer. What are the ethical issues in educating health care workers in a developing country – and those health care workers migrating to developed countries in order to earn higher salaries (in most instances leaving the original country in great need of qualified nurses and physicians)? How would YOU propose to solve these issues? Cite your textbook at least once (page number only).
For the following, you will choose to answer EITHER 2A or 2B (your choice). Be sure to indicate which one you are answering. (CH. 5).
2 A. What are some of the most significant issues that arise in trying to govern health care systems in low and middle-income countries? (CH. 5). What are YOUR thoughts about what you read? Cite your textbook at least once (page number only).
2 B. What are some of the most important steps that can be taken to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of weaker health care systems in low and middle-income countries? CH. 5). What are YOUR thoughts about what you read? Cite your textbook at least once (page number only).
3. Why would members of a community seek treatment for illness from traditional healers? What is your OPINION of traditional healers or of non-nurse midwives? When you were growing up, did your parents (or grandparents) use alternative therapies when someone was ill (eg in my family, my mother rubbed Vick’s on our chests when we had a cold)? CH. 6).
4. Find someone, anyone but yourself, who was raised in another country. Ask them about their experiences with health care in that country. You can talk with other health care folks where you work (a great way to have a conversation with someone you work with) – or any other person. YES. That person can be from Canada. Answer these questions: a. who was this person (name not necessary but were they a colleague, friend, relative, someone you ran into at Starbucks, etc); b. what did they tell you and what was MOST surprising to you in what they told you?
5. What are your thoughts about what I wrote above in the last two paragraphs to the introduction to this unit above? The first paragraph begins with “Finally…..”. Right above my name. The two paragraphs are highlighted in light yellow. In a class like this, it is always OK and perfectly acceptable to disagree with the teacher – and present your own thinking about this or any other topic. You’re in a safe place to learn.

The picture below was taken in February, 2019 in Delhi, India. Luckily, we had seen a YouTube video about Delhi and what the lineup of men, in the early morning, meant. Before trying to find work for the day, men sit outside of food stalls – waiting for someone to pay for their only meal of the day. My husband paid $7 – so that 30 men could eat. Mother Theresa said: “If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one”.
