Health and Human Service 2

Human health services have only one aim to protect human being health through different

ways. The ways may be like creating awareness, doing research and development, educating

people and innovation. In past 200 years health services has been on a new high. During the

1809 all the people had life expectancy less than 40 years. Due to lack of proper treatment it was

not possible for them to improvise on this. And now it’s observable enough. The event that could

be compared is the small pox that nearly engulfed the half of the American population and had

spread all over and was not manageable. And now the SARS in 2002 a respiratory syndrome that

was well managed due to high tech treatments. This clearly changed the public health and

epidemiology on a global front.

The components that contribute to the Health and Human services are as follows: -

1) Health Education: - Health Education is the most important tool to avoid health problems.

There has to be an awareness among the people about the transmitted diseases for

instance, AIDS. Awareness among people especially youth would health them to be more

careful. Awareness about their lifestyle would help them staying fit.

2) Environmental Health : - The environmental health includes the pollutants, air quality

and hazardous materials, second is the water that is essential for the people to survive and

is the key ingredient for public health and finally waste disposal, it is essential in way to

keep the sanitation and maintain the environment quality for better living

3) Individual Health: - Individual health includes hygiene that is particularly dependable on

an individual for his wellness. Second is nutrition which keeps him fit inside and outside

and finally the reproductive health for the offspring to grow as another individual

healthily.

4) Human services management: - The main goal is to recognize the treatment immediately

and provide superior quality treatment. Highly professional clinical research centers are

trying to be set up by them. They are trying to consider the privacy and problem of each

and every patient. They want to render services with honesty, dedication. Team work is

the most important factor regarding this. They are trying to change themselves not in

respect of words only but also in respect of their work, attitude, behavior and actions.

They are focusing on the training of the staffs, nurses and all the working committee so

that they can cope up with the developed and changing system.

5) Public Health Practice: - It is where the health care professionals are dedicated towards

their job ethically. It is the discipline that they carry within themselves. The nurses and

the ward boys should be present with them all the time. There should be a fixed visiting

time for the relatives to meet the patient and they should meet one by one especially for

the patient of Intensive care unit so that there should be no mental stress and disturbance

cause to the patient. Moreover, the visiting people should be permitted to meet the patient

after providing the safety mask or safety covers which will be beneficial for both patient

and the other person. The person should be allowed to meet the patient on the show of

visiting card only so that no unknown person can be able to disturb the patient.

Conclusion: -

From the aforesaid discussion I would conclude past decade has provided evidence of

transforming the hospital top new trends for seeking profits and maximum public support

opportunities.  In part, this is because many present and future clinical technologies can be

delivered outside of the hospital setting. Communication technologies offer the possibility of

tying the various parts of the health care system into one true system. The development of

information and communication technology that is adapted to the hospital environment and

remote healthcare has great potential for the future. Medical robots are used with increasing

frequency in the medical field. Surgeons no longer operate on the basis of their skill and

experience alone.
