Abstract

In the twenty-first century, the resources of the world and the services it provides to society have diversified over time, but not all individuals in society can benefit from these resources and services fairly. It is known that inequalities that exist in all areas of life from the past to the present have negative consequences. Inequalities in access to health service delivery negatively affect the health level of the whole society, especially vulnerable groups. Reducing inequalities in health and delivering health services to the entire society without leaving a single person behind are the keys to achieving the goal of a more healthy and sustainable world. “Sustainable Development Goals” were adopted in 2015 with the aim of eliminating inequalities in all basic areas, especially health. In the direction of the third of these goals, it is aimed to achieve "Universal Health Coverage". Health systems, which have a key role in the delivery of health services, have a major role in accessing universal health coverage. Health systems should be structured to provide primary health care to everyone and protect individuals from financial risks while benefiting from the service. This study; In direction of the goal number three within the scope of the Sustainable Development Goals, it is aimed to include the "Achieve to Universal Health Coverage" and the function of health systems in this direction.

SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİR KALKINMA HEDEFİ ÜÇ’ÜN SAĞLIK KAPSAYICILIĞI İŞLEVİ

Abstract

Yirmi birinci yüzyılda dünyanın, kaynakları ve topluma sunduğu hizmetler zamanla çeşitlenmekte ancak toplumdaki bireylerin hepsi bu kaynak ve hizmetlerden adil bir şekilde yararlanamamaktadır. Geçmişten bugüne hayatın her alanında var olan eşitsizliklerin, olumsuz sonuçları olduğu bilinmektedir. Sağlık hizmet sunumundan yararlanma konusundaki eşitsizlikler de başta savunmasız gruplar olmak üzere toplumun tamamının sağlık düzeyini olumsuz etkilemektedir. Sağlık alanında var olan eşitsizlikleri azaltmak ve bir kişiyi bile arkada bırakmadan sağlık hizmet sunumunu tüm topluma ulaştırmak, daha sağlıklı ve sürdürülebilir bir dünya hedefine erişimin anahtarıdır. “Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedefleri” 2015 yılında sağlık başta olmak üzere tüm temel alanlardaki eşitsizlikleri ortadan kaldırmak amacıyla oluşturulmuştur. Bu hedeflerden üçüncüsü doğrultusunda da “Evrensel Sağlık Kapsayıcılığına” erişilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Evrensel sağlık kapsayıcılığına erişimde sağlık hizmet sunumunda kilit konumda olan sağlık sistemlerine büyük görev düşmektedir. Sağlık sistemleri temel sağlık hizmetlerini herkese ulaştıracak şekilde yapılanmalı ve hizmetten yararlanırken bireyleri mali risklerden korumalıdır. Bu çalışmada; Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedefleri kapsamında yer alan üç numaralı hedef doğrultusunda “Evrensel Sağlık Kapsayıcılığına Erişim” ve bu doğrultuda sağlık sistemlerinin işlevinin ele alınması amaçlanmaktadır.
