WEEK 3 ASSIGNMENT: HEALTH CARE DELIVERY SYSTEM
1. With the current situation of our Health Care Delivery System during this
Pandemic, create your own Health Program using the 6 Strategic Instruments
in Universal Health Care.
Abstract: Health systems continue to adapt to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic. Much
focus has been placed on the scaling-up of hospital capacities. However, the pandemic is
also deeply affecting the health of many people who are not infected by the virus. People
living with chronic conditions are not only highly vulnerable to complications and death
from COVID-19, but they are also suffering from disruptions to their regular care routines.
The COVID-19 crisis demonstrates the importance of placing primary health care at the
core of health systems, both to manage an unexpected surge of demand and to maintain
continuity of care for all. Strong primary health care – organized in multi-disciplinary
teams and with innovative roles for health professionals, integrated with community health
services, equipped with digital technology, and working with well-designed incentives –
helps deliver a successful health system response. The innovations introduced in response
to the pandemic need to be maintained to make health systems more resilient against future
public health emergencies, and able to meet the challenges of ageing societies and the
growing burden of chronic conditions.
The COVID-19 crisis has direct and indirect effects on all, including people living
with chronic conditions. While much policy attention has fallen on hospitals and
containment strategies, the importance of continuous and routine care for people with
underlying health conditions does not get enough attention. Fatimanian Health Agenda
(FHA) is being launched to improve, streamline and scale up reform interventions. Many
non COVID-19 patients did not seek medical attention or were unable to access needed
care during the first wave of the pandemic, which resulted in delayed diagnoses, delayed
care or foregone care.
Thus, FHA, a strong primary health care has the capacity to mitigate these indirect
effects during the pandemic, but also to reduce the pressure on the entire health system
by providing comprehensive and preventive care. Expanding primary health care
services is critical to make health systems more resilient to future public health
emergencies, but also to better address the challenges of an ageing population and the
growing burden of chronic conditions.
