Defense of public and free health: the duty of all!

Health is everyone's right and duty of the State in accordance with the Brazilian Constitution. Everyday life becomes increasingly evident that this is a dead letter, and if we do not fight, and soon will be either in the Constitution.Pressured by the imperialist countries - especially, of course, the United States, governments around the world are attacking the rights won by the historical struggle of the workers and popular movement in all areas. In addition, sucatizao health, education, transportation and public infrastructure are part of a strategy to privatize and further enrich the imperialist countries.

But we will fly down ... I will only talk about health, although it is true, we must fight through a lot in fact to have an ideal world to live. Many workers fall ill each day because of the increasingly unhealthy conditions of work. Not enough, there are still attacks on welfare, excessive working hours, cutting staff (resulting climate of constant insecurity and unemployment) and rights, all in exchange for payments that do not guarantee the minimum conditions of survival, many sometimes even accompany the official inflation rate (since the real is much larger - or anyone think that prices are up 5% last year?).

In this scenario, it is more than obvious that the government has a duty to ensure a minimum population health infrastructure. See I'm not discounting the other problems I think we should fight them all, but I put here the issue of health and harm reduction. We've all paid for it. However, those who need access to health care became a hostage to bad (or no answer) and often have to resort to a health plan, with extortionate prices and services almost as poor as the state.

In a conversation I had earlier in the week, the father of a friend told me that he was in a public hospital waiting for care when a man who stood beside him died after repeated request service times. Once I was in a state hospital in the North Zone, accompanying my grandmother who had a health problem, and saw a man with a fracture in the leg, with his trousers torn and covered with blood, approaching the gate of care: the security closed the door and said he would have to forward the counter - in another hall - to be met before registration. The man was jumping.

To those who defend the privatization or public-private partnership, just remember the case of Vaseline in place of serum injected at Hospital Sao Luiz Gonzaga, the Jacana. The government transfers to a private group an absurd amount of money that they manage a public hospital - and with it, no need to provide care in its facilities to public patients, which is required by law of every private hospital, they reduce the number of staff, which most often is hired under a cooperative, no rights, increase the amount of beds, and the result, of course, is catastrophic. And, of course, for every penny saved someone profited greatly.

We must fight not to lose the right to public health and so we can all enjoy it. It is absurd to see people dying slowly in queues or in their homes because they are not met. It is absurd to see the doctors working in poor conditions and inhumane journey. It is absurd that the government transfers to individuals a duty to ensure good health.

This fight is all. A quality public health requires that private schools offer better services and relieve the worker - have gouged by the values of the abusive taxes, inflation, housing, etc. - to spend the extra money for health insurance and medicine. Above all, a quality public health prevents death and suffering. Let's not be complicit by default. Take this fight on our hands and forced the state to fulfill its duty.

This fight will save lives.

Hormone Imbalances Are a Sign of Poor Health

Most of us don't worry very much about our health until something goes wrong. We just go along in our teens and twenties, eating whatever we please and if we get some exercise it's probably because of an activity that we enjoy or a sport that we love; the exercise is a product of our enjoyment. But as we get older, we find that our bodies are not reacting the way it used to. We find that we run out of energy faster and there's a spare tire building up in our mid-sections. What is going on?

It could be that we need to pay attention to what we're eating and drinking. Too many sweets, too many sodas and fatty foods can add up, not only on our waistline and stomachs, but also inside us where things are going on that we're not aware of. There are chemical imbalances going on inside us, hormone imbalances that are causing diseases that we don't recognize the symptoms of until they become quite obvious.

Once the body shows signs of hormone imbalances, the organs don't work the way they used to. The hormones can cause us to age quicker than we're supposed to. The organs that process glucose can stop processing it, and it adds up in our blood stream, causing type 2 diabetes, as one of the diseases that can result from our actions. Sometimes diabetes is the result predominately of our family history, and sometimes it's our own actions that cause it. When you have hormone imbalances, it can cause not only the "I don't feel right" condition, it can cause other diseases to take over.

So how do you fight it? You do need to see your doctor and have tests done to determine if you are a victim of diabetes. After the tests, if it is determined that you have diabetes, you need to adjust your diet, get more exercise, and sometimes, when it gets really bad, you need to take medication to correct the effects.

It would be better if we could fight our hormone imbalances by taking better care of ourselves when we were younger, but if you can't do anything now, at least get a doctor to put you back on track to a healthier life. You can always change the effects, maybe not the disease itself but at least the effects. Once your body is balanced again, you'll feel so much better.

Upshot in Locum Jobs Helping in Improving Health Conditions for UK Medical Professionals

The foundation of a strong nation depends profoundly on a wide array of factors out of which one is the health condition of its residents. If the people are sound, both physically and mentally, then the productivity of the nation would increase manifolds. Doubtlessly, the health condition of the population cannot be maintained in dearth of proper health care facilities. In the past few years, the condition of the National Health Service UK has been dwindling due to the shortage of skilled doctors.

The reason behind the scarcity of medical professionals was an amendment made in the immigration law in the year 2006 that prohibits non European doctors from practicing in the country. With effect of the amendment, thousands of non European doctors who were practicing in the country left. As a result, an acute shortage of skilled doctors has been observed.

To combat with the increasing gap between the demand and availability of skilled medical professionals, the UK government is motivating medical professionals in the country to take up locum jobs as much as possible. Locum jobs would not only lend a helping hand in improving health conditions in the country but also prove valuable for medical professionals on the personal front.

Firstly, such doctors jobs endow with a prospect of working in speckled environment. Serving as a locum in diverse medical institutions proves rewarding as they enrich the knowledge to a great extent. Also, it adds on to the experience that would take your career in the medical industry way ahead. Lastly, monetary benefit is associated with the position of a locum. All these reasons together are swaying medical professionals towards locum doctor jobs.

Now, the matter of concern is from where to hit upon the best positions for locums in the country. It is very much true that large numbers of consultancy firms specialising in the health care sector are working 24X7 on internet. However, it is necessary to associate yourself with the reputed ones only. The job of a doctor is quite critical and hospitals source their professionals from consultancy firms having good status across the industry. Thus, one would be able to get a job in one of the best medical institutions only when his or her name is registered with a reputed recruitment agency.

Though the choice of a health consultancy firm requires extensive research but one of the best ways to gauge the credibility is to check out the list of hospitals and medical centers with which the firm is working. Also, you can take reference from colleagues and professionals in the same industry for agencies with proven results.
