Public Health Facilities: 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 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.
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.See Also Student Health Organi¬zation:By providing funds, the OEO also shared in the development of the Student Health Organi¬zation, a group of students from the fields of medicine, nursing, dentistry, and the other health professions. The students undertook health education projects and other community health services with minimal guidance from their teachers, then returned to their universities insisting that more students in these professions should learn about the problems of the under¬privileged through direct experience.
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, 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.
On The Other Hand See Protecting The Health:The official agencies, like the voluntary groups, provide research and educational services. In addition, some official agencies set standards that assist in protecting the health of the public and the consumers of health products and ser¬vices. Each state has a tax-supported official agency known as the state health department. These departments are responsible for establish¬ing and enforcing health laws for their states.
A health manpower report prepared by the National Commission 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. |
