Beschreibungen/Notizen

• [...]very recently, doctors were held in high regard by society in general for their knowledge, compassion, and ability to alleviate suffering, helping when men and women were at their most vulnerable. When the National Health Service in the United Kingdom was founded after World War II, by Sir Aneurin Bevin, it was widely believed that once the health of the nation of 50-odd million improved by the implementation of good primary health care, the hospitals would have lesser patients and the cost of health care would reduce. [...]much more is desired – provision of resources with updated infrastructure and overhauling of training at existing government hospitals, transparency in the accreditation of hospitals, stringent inspections preventing fraudulent practices, checking corruption and quackery, regulation of distribution and sale of drugs, and reforming medical education to produce competent doctors (we have fewer than those recommended by the WHO).
