Question

What are some of the challenges faced by developing countries with regards to health care? What part does WHO play in helping to overcome these challenges?

Answer 1

Compounding is one of the challenges faced by developing countries in regards to health care. The WHO plays a big part in these challenges, because there needs to be a person or group with a stable financial situation to donate or offer help. If someone who does not have any power or money help, there is a less likely chance in making a difference in regards to the problem.

Answer 2

The correct answer is the following.

Some of the challenges faced by developing countries with regard to health care are the increasing number of people that are aging and will be aging in the coming years. The World Health Organization consider that the number of old people, 65 years old and older, will increase from 249 million to 690 from the year 2000 to the year 2030. This will impact directly the health budget in developed countries in South America, Asia, and Africa because of the elderly demand so much medical attention as they are aging.

The World Health Organization suggest these countries focus on preventing campaigns that inform people to take care of their health and supports a healthy living style to prevent chronic diseases.

One example of this action could be the World Health Organization campaign of 2002 called "Innovative Care for Chronic Conditions," that focuses on prevention instead of resolution.
