From VOA Learning English,
this is the Health Report.
The World Health Organization says
everyone should have a right
to the health care services they need
without risking financial ruin.
A new WHO Report is urging countries
to provide health care design
to meet the special needs of their citizens.
In 2005, all 194 members of the World Health Organization
set a goal of providing universal health coverage.
But very few countries have reached that target,
most people must use their own financial resources
to pay for the health care they need.
Since health needs differ from one country to another,
the new report urges every country
to create its own system of health coverage.
It says the services should include prevention,
treatment, rehabilitation and reduction of pain,
and the health care should involve communities
, health centers and hospitals.
Christopher Dye is head of the WHO's
Office of Health Information, HIV/AIDS,
Tuberculosis, Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases.
"Every year approximately 150 million people
in the world suffer catastrophic health expenditure.
That is they have to pay out of their own pockets
for health care to a degree that they cannot possibly afford.
So, how do we put in place mechanisms
for financial risk protection,
which will ensure that catastrophic health expenditures
are reduced to a minimum?"
The report shows how research can help countries
develop a system that makes sure their citizens
receive the care they need without suffering financial ruin.
The WHO says the studies should be done
in low- and high-income countries
because the poorer countries have special problems
they have to work out for themselves.
Dr. Dye said some European countries
have continued supporting their social and health services
even during this period of financial difficulty.
He says that decision is paying off
in better health for their people.
"Saving money on health care is often a false kind of economy.
If you save money on health care in the short term,
you may end up spending more in the long term.
So, cutting the cost of health budgets
is not an enlightened policy."
Dr. Dye estimates that the cost of medical care
is increasing very quickly.
Because of that, he says governments must find ways
to pay for health care during good times and bad,
and work harder to keep costs under control.
And that's the Health Report from VOA Learning English.
