Malezya ve Bangladeş Sağlık Sistemlerinde mevcut Durum, Zorluklar ve Potansiyel Reformlara Diş Hekimliği cephesinden Genel Bakış

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, iki orta gelirli ülkenin, Malezya (üst orta gelirli) ve Bangladeş'in (düşük orta gelirli) sağlık sistemlerini dişhekimliği tarafından gözlemlenen yayınlanmış devlet belgelerini kullanarak tartışmaktır. Sağlık sistemlerinin bu uluslararası değerlendirmeleri, politika üreticilerini hesap verebilirliği teşvik etmeyi etkileyebilecek olan bu iki ülkenin sağlık hizmetleri performansına bir yansımasını ve değerlendirmesini sağlar. Uluslararası karşılaştırmaların çoğu, en iyi sonuçları elde eden yüksek performans gösteren kişileri belirlemeye çalışsa da, bu ülkeler arası karşılaştırmalar, daha iyi sağlık politikası için reformu teşvik etmek için ampirik temeller sağlar. Araştırma raporunun ilk kısmı, sağlık hizmetleri sistemlerinin tanımı, yapısı ve yönetişimini içeren her iki kuruluşun genel bakışına odaklanacak ve yukarıda belirtilen ülkeler arasında diş hekimliği konularına odaklanacaktır. Bu yazının ikinci kısmı, hizmetlerin eşitliği ve etkinliği ile ilgili finansal destek, iş gücü ve sağlık dağıtımını analiz edecek, değerlendirecek ve karşılaştıracaktır. Son olarak, bu ülkelerde yapılacak son değişikliklere ve önerilen gelecekteki reformlara genel bir bakış içeren sağlık sistemlerinin bir özeti sunulacaktır.

Situation, Challenges and Potential Reforms for Healthcare Systems of Malaysia and Bangladesh: Overview of Dental Counterpart

Abstract

The purpose of this research paper is to concisely discuss the health care systems of two middle-income countries, Malaysia (upper middle-income) and Bangladesh (lower middle income) using published government documents as observed by dental counterparts. These international appraisals of health systems allow a reflection on and evaluate health care performance of these two countries which could influence policy makers to promote accountability. Whilst most international comparisons seek to identify high performers with the best outcomes, these cross-national comparisons provide empirical bases to drive reform for better health policy. The first part of the research paper will focus on the overview of both organisations that includes description, structure and governance of health care systems, includes dentistry across above-mentioned countries. The second part of this paper will analyse, evaluate and compare financial support, workforce and health delivery concerning equity and efficiency of services. Finally, a summary of the healthcare systems, including an overview of recent changes and proposed future reforms in these countries will be provided. We start by providing a general description and comparison of the structure of health care systems in Malaysia and Bangladesh.
