Health System Analysis
Not what you're looking for?
Hi, I need help with an outline:
The organization and financing of the health care system is different for each country. Politics, culture, wealth, history, and environmental factors influence the development and distribution of health services.
I am choosing Vietnam to analyze its health system in terms of cost, quality, and access to care. Your analysis should speak to the following elements:
- Impact on vulnerable populations (elderly, mentally ill, etc.)
- Women's health and maternal child health
- Disease management of communicable & non-communicable diseases
Also include appropriate comparisons (and contrasts) with the health systems of countries that were covered in this course.
I need 5 credible references for this.

- From 1975-1986, Vietnam was largely isolated from the rest of the world politically and impoverished
- In 1986, though, the government undertook a number of economic and political reforms, which included deregulating health care
- Yet, since the reforms, the economy has taken a large swing upwards (in 2000, it had the largest rate of growth)
- Thus, Vietnam is still poor, relatively, but is on an obvious trend upwards
