Commission On Health Science: A health manpower report prepared by the National Commission on health Science of Community Health Services showed that the U.S. hospitals and health organizations were maintaining the ratio of 150 doctors per 100,000 population only by filling out one-fifth of their needs with physicians from other countries. The demand for health care had also created serious shortages of nurses and other paramedical personnel. Among the solutions being suggested were new methods of health care organization and govern¬ment support for new or expanded education programs in the health sciences.
Some states were attempting to organize the administration of their public health facilities by merging departments. New Mexico and Nevada followed the example of California, Maine, Missouri, and New Hampshire and com¬bined their health and welfare departments. The Commission on health Science studying the public health needs of New York City recommended a single health services administration for the city and the creation of a nonprofit corporation to operate city hospitals and health centers.See Also Damage To Health:In 1968 the Public Health Service was reor¬ganized into three separate health agencies: the Health Services and Mental Health Administra¬tion, the National Institutes of Health, and the Consumer Protection and Environmental Health -Service, including the Food and Drug Adminis¬tration, one of the agencies originally transferred into the Federal Security Agency in 1939. These three health agencies are directed by the assistant secretary for health and scientific affairs, who is aided by the surgeon general of the Public Health Service.
A U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare task force on environmental health is¬sued a report entitled "A Strategy for a Livable Environment," which stated in conclusion:
Danger to environmental quality, particularly in the broad context, is among the most important domestic problems facing the nation today. It affects all Americans where they live, where they work, and where they play. The environment can materially damage to health their children and generations yet unborn.
On The Other Hand See Individual Health:The nationwide study of health instruction, and the resultant kindergarten through grade 12 curriculum development pro¬ject of the School Health Education Study, has been recognized as an outstanding curriculum project.
The United States has led the way in estab¬lishing health education as a profession in its own right. Other countries have tended to fol¬low the traditional pattern, stressing physical fitness and personal hygiene rather than a broad approach to the health of the individual health and the environment. Nevertheless, health education has made major contributions to public health—as in Canada, where most elementary and secondary schools include health as part of the curriculum.
The content of health education courses in¬cludes topics such as sleep, rest, nutrition, dental health, grooming, safety, the effects of drugs and tobacco, family life, diseases, and community health. These topics are studied as they relate to the individual health, the family, and the community. Instruction focuses upon the mental and social dimensions as well as on the physical dimensions of health. Teaching methods stress providing opportunities for the student to find and use facts in making decisions. The student is assisted to move beyond facts to the processes of gener¬alizing and forming concepts about good health. |
