Health and Health Care

Ministry of Health, leaflet: Health care primary

Which is the basic health care? Basic health care is usually the first point of interaction between a individual and the Australian health system. A lot of persons connect basic medical care with their family doctor (GP). Whereas general medicine is the mainstay of health care in Australia, general care may also involve care provided by nursing staff (such as general physicians, municipal nursing staff and nurses), healthcare allies, health care providers, birth attendants, chemists, dental surgeons and employees of Aborigines.

They are not offered in-patient - this kind of care is called emergency care. What is the importance of basic health care in our health system? Powerful, accessable basic care systems keep individuals healthy and outside the home by helping them address their health problems in the local and home communities.

Basic health care can enhance people's health and well-being by helping them cope with their complicated and chronically ill health, reducing the need for specialised care and visiting wards. It is one of the most important priorities for PHNs. Household health care is the most efficient.

In view of this and an aging population, the importance of universal health care for the health of individuals and their communities is important. Which kinds of service are contained in IHP? There is a wide range of service categories provided as part of basic health care, including general medicine, preventive care, early support, care and administration.

Ministries may address particular groups such as the elderly, mother and child, young persons, those who live in countryside and isolated areas, Aborigines and islanders of the Torres Strait, displaced persons and those with a different cultural and linguistic background and a low socio-economic level. It may also address particular health care needs and circumstances, such as sex, drugs and alcoholic beverages, dental health, heart and circulatory diseases, asthma, diabetics, psychological health and adiposity.

What is the importance of adopting a regional basic health care policy? Basic health care works best when it is tailored to the needs of the particular population. Philanthropic institutions offer the necessary infrastructures to assist, adapt and transform the health system in their area. Throughout Australia, they are specifically designed to help pinpoint and fill the gap in basic healthcare.

Together with other health actors in the region, PHENs are working to develop, conceptualise and implement evidence-based health care systems that meet the needs of individual community groups and better incorporate the health system at the community scale. It is up to them to determine which health care or health measures are to be provided and who provides them.

Health care can vary from one site to another. Conurbation based ministries may need to be adjusted for effective work in local, provincial, rural as well as isolated municipalities. Substantial differences may also exist in the structure of service due to other determinants such as demographic features, socio-economic conditions, infrastructures, health conditions, staff mixing and uptime.

Health is a key determinant of health - such as living, learning, employment, infrastructures and transportation - and can have a major impact on individual health and on the viability and access of health care for all. Whilst funding is provided to meet basic health needs, they often establish partnership with other organizations that can more directly impact these societal factors.
