I am very glad to participate in this wonderful contest organised by
@steemdoctor1 in this wonderful community. Today I will discuss what I know about public health service in my country and I hope you will find it interest as you are follow me.
Public health service is a place where sick peoples are receiving treatment to their ailment that affecting them. Every countries in the whole world have different public health service in which peoples are visit in order to receive appropriate treatment. Receiving adequate health service must be their priority because peoples who are sick need them in this difficult situation. In Nigeria we have 2 public health care service and this include:
√ Primary health care service
√ Secondary health care service
• Primary health care service: is a place where people who are sick have been treated. In fact primary health service is the first place you will visit whenever you are ill, except if your condition is critical you will now refers to secondary health care. Disease they are treated include malaria, typhoid etc.
• Secondary Health Care service: they usually attend to peoples or patients who are experiencing critical health condition.
Secondary health care is refers to as General hospital.
Is there any helpline issued by the government for the public, in the situations of emergency?
112 is the emergency number you can reach Nigeria health provider to when you are need them, the peoples who make used of this numbers are peoples who are critically ill. Once you call this number they will arrive at your door step to pick the sick at your various home. They are also carry the peoples who are involve in an accident situation to the nearby hospital in order to receive adequate treatment.
Do you think these public health services could be improved? How?
Yes, this public health service could be improved if government of a country equip public health service with modern machine and equipment they need when they want to carry out operation on the sick peoples.
Sometimes, poor peoples will be neglected in the hospital setting and this must be look into by the appropriate authority so that poor peoples will be attend to by nurses and doctors.
Government must also provide enough ambulance that would help carry out the sick peoples who are in emergency situation to the hospital and if this are available it will reduce the mortality rate in the country.
In Nigeria now, we have health insurance scheme that covered sick peoples, they who insure their money to this scheme so when they are sick their health insurance will cover them. The only challenges of this scheme is that not all peoples benefited from this scheme except the working class in our society. Government must ensure that all the citizen benefited from this scheme and enjoy quality health services.
Which public Health Care Service will you innitate if you were given a chance?
Public health care I will initiate is children specialist hospital where children who are sick will be attend to by the qualified nurses and doctors. I will make sure that necessary things are put in place so each and every children will respond to treatment they were given.
I will also employed social worker in this hospital setting so that they will attend to children whose parent are find it difficult to pay their hospital bill. Thank God that Nigeria Government have sign social work bill into law and this will make smooth running of this organisation run effectively.
The reason why I choose this is because I love children, they are our source of joy, and our happiness. I like them to be by my side whenever am lonely.
Conclusion
Public health service which is know as Hospital must be established particularly in rural area where they are facing health challenges. Public health care are usually owned by the government of a country not an individual oriented. I invite
