American Indian Discrimination and Issues

If you want the links to important causes just skip towards the end, but I implore you to read through what I’ve written as it’s important as well!

I think it’s a major disservice that barely anyone talks about the fact that the Federal Government doesn’t recognize members of tribes whose land was taken from them. Obviously most of the US is stolen land but in the mid 1900s the Federal government terminated Indian land rights to “assimilate” Indian people, and without an official land base it’s harder to congregate and act as a sovereign nation, therefore they aren’t eligible for federal recognition. Furthermore, in 1900 the Bureau of Indian Affairs didn’t do a complete consensus of the US and missed places where Indians lived, meaning members of indigenous communities were missed and not represented on the census data. One of the criterion to becoming a federally recognized tribe is the demonstration “that it has been identified as an American Indian entity on a substantially continuous basis since 1900.” (R. Lee Fleming, Director of the Office of Federal Acknowledgement).

Some of you may also be wondering why federal acknowledgement is so important. For starters, American Indians are the poorest ethnic group in the US. Federally recognized tribes are permitted to open up casinos in places that do not permit gambling because these tribes have the status of being a sovereign nation. While these casinos are able to provide for many Indian families and make improvements to reservations, this income isn’t extended to those with tribal ancestry who aren’t apart of those Federally recognized tribes. You also can’t get financial assistance from the Bureau of Indian Affairs if you’re not from a Federally recognized tribe. This means that any federal programs, health insurances, grants, reparations, etc. are not provided.

There is also a large chunk of American Indian history that is erased from the knowledge of the general public - such as the fact that they weren’t granted US citizenship until 1924, 56 years after African Americans were granted it, or the fact they were also subjected to Jim Crow laws and racial segregation in the South, or the Red Power movement as a whole.

I think it’s important to understand the struggles American Indians have faced and still face to this day - having the highest likelihood than any other race of being killed in a police encounter (3x the rate of White Americans, 2.6x the rate of Black Americans), having an incarceration rate 38% higher than the national average and receiving harsher sentences than White, Black, and Hispanic offenders, having the highest rate of violent crime victimizations compared to every other race with around 70% of those committing hate crimes not being of the same race as them, with 46% of the perpetrators being complete strangers to the victim, and 75% of sexual assaults against them being committed by strangers or acquaintances (according to the Bureau of Statistics )- whereas amongst the general population only 58.5% of sexual assaults are committed by strangers or acquaintances (RAINN).

They also have the lowest median household income out of all races in the US (data from 2022). Furthermore, the American Indian population is rarely mentioned in discussions about the racial wage gap despite the fact that they make nearly the same (only one cent more) earnings per dollar as Black Americans do (US Department of Labor) relative to White American earnings and having a lower share of income than every other race. Nor is it mentioned that American Indian women on average are paid less than Black Women (who are often more focused on by the media) when looking at the racial gender gap (National Partnership for Women and Families).

Another issue that is rarely addressed is the poor access and racism faced in terms of health care. The leasing causes of death for American Indians are heart disease (25% of deaths), cancer (22%), and accidents (19%). There are many diseases that affect American Indians at a higher rate than the general population as well. However, they also are more likely to not receive medical assistance because of the cost and much less likely to have visited a dentist as well, putting them more at risk for dental related illnesses. 33% of American Indians also do not have health insurance either. Furthermore, the Indian Health Service (the Federal Department dedicated to providing American Indians with Health Care services) has had its funding cut multiple times within the past two decades (with a $800,000,000 cut in 2013) making it harder to provide adequate health care for them.

I would also like to state that I’m not trying to diminish the discrimination, racism, and pain that other people of color undergo, nor am I trying to devalue or discredit their experiences. All people of color deserve justice and equality . I’m just trying to raise awareness to the fact that American Indians face a lot of discrimination at higher rates but are less focused on in the media. Overall, I just think that it’s important to draw more attention to the issues that they face and different ways to combat those issues.

Price ceilings and price floors

Food, housing, energy, education, health and arms cannot be left to the market. We need to control prices.

These are not consumer goods. They are commodities essential to human needs. The very reason for civilization is to be able to provide these necessities. They are not goods to enrich a part of the population. People must be assured of being able to live with dignity within their grasp.

People don’t need charity, they need a fair price. They have the right to decent housing, to food in an environmentally-friendly way, to energy for heating, to education, to healthcare and to the right to defend themselves. (Universal Declaration of Human Rights: https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights)

The price of a artillary shell has quadrupled since the war in Ukraine. Arms dealers are taking advantage and cashing in on public money. The Iris-T missiles that defend Ukrainian cities cost €150,000 to manufacture, and the manufacturer sells them for €430,000 to the German government and $4,000,000 to the United States, even though there are no development costs.

Without price controls, city rents are becoming unaffordable for some groups of the population. Landlords set prices without limits. They created nothing, they invent nothing. They represent 75% of the political staff. They are heirs. A maximum price on rents would improve people’s lives, lighten the burden on businesses, smooth the links between town and country, and cut a passive income, a rent that gives these people too great an advantage to enter politics. This has an impact on representative democracy.

Farmers need to be able to sell their products at their true cost, not at a cost lowered by subsidies. Foreign producers have no chance of escaping poverty. Products are bought at ever lower prices and sold at ever higher prices. Every day, farmers wonder whether their incomes are going to go down the drain due to the ups and downs of the market. It’s ruining their families, and the risk of suicide has tripled. We can’t tolerate this. We have to buy at a decent price.

We need price controls on energy. You don’t have to pay when it’s too expensive. It shouldn’t be a private resource. It is defended by wars so that some can appropriate it for their own private ends. In 2022, electricity rose by a thousand percent. This was not due to higher production costs, but to speculation on the pretext of the war in Ukraine.

Education should not be an income. In the West, the average schooling costs $25,000 a year. This puts unmanageable pressure on students and leads to a drug epidemic the likes of which we’ve never seen. It enriches the banks. It affects equality of opportunity. There has to be a maximum price. Not education grants where public money goes straight into the schools’ pockets.

Social security no longer reimburses many medicines. It is conditional on salary and excludes immigrants. Health care is subsidized. Laboratories set their own prices, thus recovering public money that bears no relation to manufacturing and research costs. Many effective drugs are no longer produced, on the pretext that they are no longer profitable. The laboratories are very rich and live off public health, i.e. tax money, and block certain scientific discoveries on the pretext that they would be less profitable. For example, curing diabetes with a single injection is less profitable than a lifelong patient. Patents should be in the public domain. Research should be public and financed by money no longer collected by the laboratories.

At the end of the 60s, there were price controls on these six pillars. It was a command economy. A farmer in the United States could sell at the public granary when the market was not favorable.

In the 1970s, we moved to the welfare state, where the market sets prices and the community provides a subsidy so that individuals can pay. The Nixon administration set up the subsidy system to keep workers in a situation of begging to break strikes by making them dependent on the state.

The situation has become globalized, as middlemen buying American products at lower cost have forced other countries to align their prices by providing subsidies themselves. Workers are no longer independent; they are forced to comply with state requirements in order to receive subsidies. It’s a tool of control.

from september 26, 2023 AP news article...

"...The federal government already taxes the sale of guns and ammunition at either 10% or 11%, depending on the type of gun. The law Newsom signed adds another 11% tax on top of that — making it the only state with its own tax on guns and ammunition, according to the gun control advocacy group Brady...

"Newsom is in the middle of a national campaign to amend the U.S. Constitution to restrict gun sales to people over 21, require extensive background checks, impose a waiting period for purchases and ban the sale of assault-style weapons. Restrictions like that are in place in some states, but not in the Constitution...

"Also on Tuesday, Newsom signed a law overhauling the state’s rules for carrying concealed weapons. The new rules are a reaction to a new standard for interpreting the nation’s gun laws that the U.S. Supreme Court issued last year. California’s new law bans people from carrying guns in nearly all public places — including public parks and playgrounds — public demonstrations and gatherings, amusement parks, churches, banks and any place where alcohol is sold...

"Chuck Michel, president of the California Rifle and Pistol Association, criticized the new laws — calling them unconstitutional...

"...The tax has some exceptions. It would not apply to police officers and it would not apply to businesses with sales of less than $5,000 over a three-month period. State officials estimate it would generate about $159 million annually.

The law says the first $75 million of that money must go to the California Violence Intervention and Prevention Grant Program. The program has funded projects targeting young people in gangs, including sports programs, life coaching and tattoo removal.

The next $50 million would go to the State Department of Education to boost security at public schools. That includes things like physical security improvements, safety assessments, after-school programs for at-risk students and mental and behavioral health services for students, teachers and other school employees.

California has some of the lowest gun death rates in the country, ranking 43rd out of 50 states with 9 deaths for every 100,000 people, according to 2021 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention..."

In frame: 16-year-old Meena Nepali from Jajarkot, Nepal, giving birth in the middle of a road. Nine months pregnant, Meena was on her way to the nearest primary health centre, six hours away from her village.

Nepal’s rural hinterlands are known for a persistent sad situation—lack of access to timely health services, especially primary maternal healthcare. Precious lives are being lost to various factors such as illiteracy among locals, high levels of poverty, and above all, lack of public health awareness and reach in remote regions.

It is known that poor road connectivity remains a significant hurdle in remote hills. Getting patients to health facilities could be significantly improved if there was better road connectivity between the small towns, villages and district headquarters. On top of that, people suffer due to illiteracy. They rely on shamans and prayers instead of availing medical services and go to the health posts only as a last resort—usually when the patient is in a critical state and is beyond saving. Therefore, the administration needs to understand that the establishment of health posts isn’t sufficient by itself. Improving awareness of the services available there is just as significant.

In Nepal, women’s forthrightness in taking issues into their own hands is sadly a rarity, especially in remote areas where poverty, illiteracy and social ostracism are rife. Women often have to bear the brunt of such societal ills. Usually oblivious to women’s issues, the males of the house fail to grasp the gravity of timely medical intervention, which culminates in a life and death situation for expectant mothers.

An issue as important as maternal health cannot be studied in isolation. Providing health services is only the first step in tackling the maternal health gap. In reality, the administration should concentrate on improving general literacy around maternal health care involving both women and men and improving connectivity, sparing people an arduous walk or being carried on stretchers. The health posts should also be staffed with skilled attendants and stocked with essential medicine. Nepal continues to experience an imbalance and faulty distribution of healthcare professionals, especially in remote regions, which needs to be immediately redressed.

Maternal mortality in Nepal has consistently fallen from 539 deaths in 1996 to 239 in 2016; it can be seen that Nepal has been making considerable progress. But the gaps in maternal health aren’t unmanageable—it is more a case of casual negligence, hoping things will improve on their own. Nepal’s resolve shouldn’t be about achieving satisfactory results but about reducing maternal mortality much less than the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal target of 75 for every 100,000 births by 2030.

Millions of children recently began their new school year—some of them for the first time in three years—and their learning will be shaped by the 62 million teachers welcoming them. October 5 is UNESCO’s annual World Teachers’ Day and, so, teachers merit a closer look.

Research typically finds that teachers are the most important component of formal education, and quality instruction one of the biggest contributors to student learning. A 2018 World Bank report on global and regional assessments in Africa found that teacher knowledge, teaching practice, and instructional time were the “most consistent sources of impact on student learning.” Teachers often get to know—and become invested in—children and their families for months, sometimes years at a time and teachers’ efforts not only influence students’ academic achievement but also their long-term success and well-being.

Teachers are also costly. Teacher salaries and benefits comprise the largest line item in any government’s education budget: about 75 percent of the education budget in the U.S. and 55 to 75 percent in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In fact, most LMICs spend about 10 percent of their entire government budget on teachers.

Even though teachers are essential to education success and constitute large parts of public sector budgets, there is a shortage of qualified teachers and currently an exodus of teachers from the profession. UNESCO estimates that nearly 69 million additional teachers will need to be recruited by 2030 for primary and secondary education alone. In the United States, many districts are facing a critical teacher shortage this fall. Teacher preparedness is a further challenge. In sub-Saharan Africa, 35 percent of primary teachers and half of all secondary teachers do not meet minimum qualification requirements.

The reasons for the shortage and lack of preparedness are complicated and result from interconnected topics such as school conditions and teacher policies; status, recruitment, and demographics of teachers; retention challenges; and both preservice teacher preparation and in-service professional development contours. In many places, teaching is a low-paid profession and is treated as easy-in/easy-out, nontechnical work. The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated existing strains on teachers and as a result many left or are considering leaving due to health fears, societal disrespect, a lack of professional autonomy, and the effects of burnout.

The importance of quality teacher professional development

We believe the two most pressing issues here are (1) recruiting, preparing, and retaining sufficient numbers of qualified teachers; and (2) improving the way education offers teachers continuing and effective professional development. That first issue is particularly complex and requires confronting intertwined realities such as the unfairly low status of teaching as a profession, frequently untenable work conditions, and the lack of promotion opportunities. These cannot be addressed without transforming whole education systems, which requires engaging with the complex combination of a country’s commitment to education, its overall financial health and donor relationships, its political economy, and various longstanding cultural and gender histories. The tasks can seem, frankly, overwhelming.

The second issue is slightly easier to undertake: the need to design and deliver high-quality teacher professional development (TPD) to all teachers in ways that allow them to grow and learn more, stay up-to-date, and succeed in their work of supporting children to learn and grow in the 21st century.

Increasing the knowledge and skills of teachers to prepare children to thrive is essential. Improving TPD at scale will improve teaching and learning for whole populations, keep effective teachers in the profession longer, and contribute to the success of the many promising education innovations currently being developed and implemented. Just about every education innovation—including those connected to ed tech, foundational literacy and numeracy, and socioemotional development—requires modifying and improving teacher practices. TPD also provides an important opportunity for focusing on equitable teaching and learning, inclusive instruction, and curricula that correspond directly to students’ lives and goals.

Yet, education reformers struggle to design and deliver TPD across regions or whole countries. Almost every partner that the Millions Learning project at the Center for Universal Education has collaborated with has faced challenges scaling teacher training within their broader education scaling efforts. Even when their initiatives are not primarily focused on teacher training, preparing and supporting teachers to deliver the initiatives at large scale and with impact carries challenges—including those related to capacity, affordability, equity, and sustainability. Given this, it is clear that educational improvement requires reckoning with how to scale TPD effectively, efficiently, and equitably.

Not as easy as it might sound

Over the past 20 years, the fields of teacher education and professional development have learned a lot, and small-scale teacher development efforts can be very good. However, this body of research, theories, and best practices has often not translated into quality, cost-effective TPD at large scale.

What works at small scale does not automatically work at large scale. Identifying and training sufficient numbers of teacher instructors who are familiar with the local contexts and who can provide ongoing, in-person mentoring or coaching that fits the particular teacher’s situation is difficult, as is reaching large numbers of teachers in meaningful ways. Economies of scale can result in diluted effects.

High-quality TPD is expensive. But cheap TPD’s effects often quickly fade or are washed out by the system. Quantity and quality often oppose each other. Hybrid models might offer one opportunity for striking this balance.

Policymakers—especially at the national government and district levels—struggle to find good information on how to put evidence-based TPD into practice. It is too often assumed that any TPD program will automatically work, that teacher attendance equals teacher learning, or that delivering quality TPD is simple. In fact, none of those is true.

It is tempting to assume technology will solve the challenges of scaling TPD, but technology “will not make a bad teacher professional development program better. The use of technology can, in fact, make TPD programs worse,” such as when the technology frustrates or alienates the participants or excludes those without access or know-how.

Common approaches to assessing TPD efforts are insufficient. Most large-scale TPD programs are currently evaluated by way of teacher attendance numbers, participant feedback surveys, or quick self-reports at the conclusion of the training, which result in a dearth of information on whether the training is having concrete, extended, positive effects on teachers and students. Conducting longitudinal, mixed-methods studies of TPD quality or the effects of different models is rarely incentivized.

How to move TPD forward?

Designing, adapting, and scaling quality TPD is not simple, but it is critical—and therefore an area on which we in Millions Learning have chosen to focus. Offering lasting, effective teacher development at scale requires knowledge of the particular teachers themselves and contemporary theories of adult learning, experimentation with innovative training models that include in-person coaching and project-based learning, and smart uses of technology. It also requires thoughtful research, meaningful partnerships among TPD groups and their government partners, and a long-term commitment.

We at Millions Learning look forward to embarking on just such a project in the coming months. There are many wonderful TPD efforts and teams out there and we wish to work with them, learn alongside them as they test out different scaling strategies, and support their ability to improve education by way of increased teacher quality, retention, and impact on our world’s students. We believe that teachers can change the world—and we hope to contribute to that indispensable goal.

"New study reveals staggering 75% increase in global pollution levels - see the facts for yourself"

RoamNook - Bringing New, Polarizing Information to the Table

RoamNook Blog

Have you ever wondered how important it is to stay up-to-date with new, polarizing, concrete data and objective information? In today's fast-paced world, where information is constantly changing and evolving, it is crucial to have access to accurate and reliable facts. At RoamNook, we understand the significance of staying informed, which is why we are dedicated to providing you with the latest and most relevant information in the fields of IT consultation, custom software development, and digital marketing.

Now more than ever, numbers and concrete data play a central role in decision-making processes across different industries. In this blog, we will delve into the importance of key facts, hard information, and numerical data, and showcase how they have practical applications in the real world. So, let's dive in and explore the exciting world of data-driven decision-making!

The Power of Key Facts and Hard Information

Key facts and hard information form the backbone of informed decision-making. Without these concrete data points, decision-makers would be operating in the dark, making choices based on intuition rather than evidence. Let's take a closer look at some industries where key facts play a vital role:

1. Healthcare

In the healthcare industry, accurate data and hard facts are essential for diagnosing illnesses, developing treatment plans, and predicting trends in public health. In recent years, data analysis has revolutionized healthcare, allowing doctors and researchers to make evidence-based decisions for better patient outcomes.

2. Finance

When it comes to managing finances, numbers and data are king. Financial institutions rely on key facts and hard information to assess risks, make investments, and analyze market trends. Without accurate data, the financial world would be tumultuous and unpredictable.

3. Manufacturing

In the manufacturing industry, data drives efficiency and productivity. By analyzing production numbers, identifying bottlenecks, and optimizing processes, manufacturers can streamline their operations and minimize waste. Key facts and hard information are essential for achieving maximum productivity and profitability.

These are just a few examples of how key facts and hard information impact different sectors. As you can see, without reliable data, making informed decisions would be nearly impossible.

The Role of Numbers and Concrete Data

Numbers and concrete data provide a measurable and objective perspective in decision-making. Let's explore their role in different fields:

1. Marketing

In the realm of marketing, data-driven strategies have become the norm. By analyzing customer behavior, purchase patterns, and market trends, marketers can target their audience more effectively. Numbers help gauge campaign success, optimize conversion rates, and drive business growth.

2. Software Development

In software development, data-driven decision-making enables developers to create user-friendly applications. By collecting and analyzing user feedback, developers can identify pain points, improve functionality, and enhance the overall user experience. Numbers and concrete data are vital for building successful software products.

3. Business Operations

Every aspect of business operations can benefit from data-driven insights. Whether it's supply chain management, inventory control, or employee performance analysis, numbers provide valuable insights into optimizing processes and driving profitability. In the fiercely competitive business landscape, data is what sets successful companies apart.

As you can see, numbers and concrete data are not only informative but also instrumental in achieving success across diverse industries. By harnessing the power of data, businesses can make better decisions, gain a competitive edge, and drive growth.

Practical Applications of Data in the Real World

Now that we understand the importance of key facts, hard information, and numerical data, let's take a look at some practical applications of data-driven decision-making in the real world:

1. Personalized Medicine

Can Access to Published Research Help Local Science and Innovation?

Low-cost access to information can drive research and clinical trials in developing economies and contribute to SDGs. But different regions are affected in different ways. So how can low-performing institutions catch up? So far, the public debate on access to medicine, neglected diseases, and patent-protected technology has underplayed the potential of access to information for economic development. Similarly, earlier research has revealed a startling gap between lower- and higher-income countries in terms of access to knowledge, with over half of medical institutions having had no subscriptions to academic literature in lower-income countries.

Several UN agencies and major academic publishers launched the Research For Life (R4L) initiative to fill this gap. The World Health Organization (WHO) runs Health InterNetwork Access to Research Initiative (Hinari), one of fiveprograms under the R4L umbrella. It provides free or low-cost access to academic literature to at least 270,000 researchers in over 100 developing economies. This is for this WHO-led program alone. The entire initiative includes more than 21,000 peer-reviewed journals, 69,000 e-books and 115 data and other sources. Focusing on Hinari, a new WIPO research paper carried out empirical analysis of millions of data points to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the program. It is the first study to link access to scientific publications in developing countries to welfare along the science-to innovation pipeline. The report shows a local increase in health science publications of up to 75% after joining Hinari. Likewise, involvement in international clinical trials grew by over 20%, suggesting that research and innovation in local institutions improved. Screening over 36 million scientific papers in PubMed, a repository of health science, the study found more than 167,000 papers coauthored by local researchers in developing economies, which cited clinical trials conducted worldwide over 30 years.

However, this uptick in science publishing and clinical trials only partially translated into global patents and inventions. The study attributes this to developing countries often lacking infrastructure and funding to transfer new findings into patented technologies. This gap reveals the remaining challenges in developing innovation and IP systems. Moreover, the study also finds that local context matters. Institutions in specific regions and those that already had a high research performance benefited most from the Hinari program. This also means that it is harder for others to catch up, despite better access to information.

Access to global knowledge counts on the ground Empowering local researchers by providing access to information is essential to their work. Researchers tend to target diseases that affect the local population and may be overlooked by researchers abroad. Enabling such access may help innovation in neglected diseases, mainly by connecting local teams to the global knowledge base. Aside from increased scientific activity, R4L also reports direct effects from Hinari regarding medical practice and patient care. The initiative quotes Dr. Nguyen Duc Chinh from Viet Duc Hospital, Hanoi, Viet Nam: “Good research, in short, leads to better patient care.” The doctor relied heavily on Hinari for his PhD on intestinal TB and surgical treatment. TB is prevalent in Viet Nam, but there is a relative lack of information on intestinal TB. “With the information and knowledge we obtain,” he says, “we feel more confident in practicing and implementing respected medical expertise from around the world.” Dr. Sami Hyacinthe Kambire at Kamboinsé Research Station, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, also found his research progressing faster and wrote grantwinning funding proposals thanks to Hinari. Before his institution adopted R4L, Dr. Kambire often devoted considerable time to research already

performed elsewhere. The initiative helped reduce these duplicative research efforts in global health sciences and increase the quality of local teaching and education.

Access to information affects institutions differently Despite the impacts, the study also found that the program effects differed for different parts of the world. Research institutions in the Carribean, Central Asia, Europe and Latin America benefited the most in generating new scientific knowledge. On average, their academic paper output increased by 80–100%. Regarding clinical trials, program participation is most impactful for East Asia, the Pacific, the Middle East and North Africa. Trial activity rose by up to 35% at institutions in these regions. That does not mean other regions did not gain from the program, but the impact has been less pronounced.

However, there are also institutional differences. Notably, the study authors wanted to avoid comparing apples to oranges, because high- and low-performing research institutions differ. The high performers might be more likely to adopt the Hinari program in the first place. Seeing more publications might also be an outcome of the institutionsʼ selection into the program rather than an outcome of the program and better access to knowledge on the ground. To reveal the causal effects rather than mere correlations, the study compares different fields. This means health sciences supported by the program are matched against other research fields not supported by Hinari but conducted at the same institution.

How to make the most of access to information Having ruled out the factors described above, the report suggests that program management could improve in two ways. First, it shows that already productive institutions benefit more from Hinari. For example, research institutions that have previously published academic papers see an average 60–70% increase in their publications after joining. This increase is only around 40% for institutions that rarely published scientific works previously. This suggests that Hinari preserves the gap between the most and least productive institutions for scientific publications and clinical trials. Under these conditions, the least productive institutions are, all else being equal, less likely to catch up. Still, the study ultimately supports the view that the Hinari program and the R4L initiative contribute to achieving the SDGs. They help boost research and innovation capacity in developing economies and improve health services (SDG 3) and education quality (SDG 4) at local institutions. They also aim to build industry, innovation and infrastructure, thus encouraging decent economic growth (SDGs 8 and 9).

The R4L initiative is also an excellent example of how private–public initiatives can make a difference. It joins private sector stakeholders from the global publishing industry and research institutions in the UN member states in a win–win situation. For research institutions, the initiative provides a practical solution. Their libraries and labs often need to be better resourced, and R4L improves access to information for students and researchers. It is also a smart way for industry stakeholders to show their corporate social responsibility and enhance their social impact in developing economies. It could also help grow local demand and the customer base in the long term. Moreover, easing access to published research through initiatives like Hinari and WIPOʼs Access to Research for Development and Innovation (ARDI) program can significantly affect research output and contribute to desired social and economic outcomes laid out in the SDGs. UN agencies like the WHO and WIPO have been vital matchmakers. However, addressing existing gaps through schemes such as WIPOʼs Technology and Innovation Support Centers (TISCs) may help build local infrastructure and contribute to a vibrant IP and innovation system. In conclusion, the reportʼs findings on success and remaining challenges may inform stakeholdersʼ decisions to renew or change their commitment to R4L beyond 2025.

Best Ngo In Madhya Pradesh: How Can We Improve the Present Healthcare System in India?

Low government funding on healthcare is the main cause of the majority of the issues that Indian healthcare is now facing. Let's quickly assess our current positions by comparing:

India spends less on public health per person than it does on private hospitals, with a per capita expenditure of Rs 1,815, which is about the same as a single consultation at several of the best private hospitals in the nation. That works out to be Rs 150 a month or Rs 5 a day. India has one of the lowest public health expenditure rates in the world, at 2.1 percent of GDP—lower than other low-income nations that spend a sizable portion of their GDP on healthcare. One of the reasons people in India seek care from the private sector or NGO in Madhya Pradesh is the low level of public health spending in the country. According to National Health Estimates (2018-19), India is ranked 66th out of 189 counties in terms of out-of-pocket (OOP) health spending.

Numerous studies show that these expenses cause millions of Indians to fall below the poverty level each year.

Let's now examine the common issues facing our current healthcare system:

1. Unbalanced Distribution of Health Facilities: India is one of the most popular countries for medical tourism, which suggests that some of our hospitals can offer top-notch care at comparatively lower costs. However, we also have hospitals that are understaffed, lack modern infrastructure, have insufficient supplies of medications, and might not even be able to give a patient a bed or an ambulance. For instance, only around 30% of hospitals, hospital beds, and physicians are found in rural India, but accounting for 75% of the country's overall population. Just consider how much more work this puts on the physicians and rural health institutions!

2. Manpower Shortage: There is a dearth of medical personnel, including technicians, nurses, physicians, and other professionals. In India, there were 4 million fewer nurses and 2 million fewer physicians in 2015. It’s no secret that a lot of talented nurses relocate abroad in search of more income. The super specialists we now have are either employed overseas or are concentrated in Tier 1 cities, so we desperately need more of them.

In many hospitals, there is a scarcity of medical personnel and technicians, which exacerbates other issues including inadequate equipment maintenance and restricted diagnostic services. The country's ability to build better medical facilities is restricted by a lack of labour and the reluctance of the workforce to work in smaller cities and villages, which results in a lopsided distribution.

3. Bad Infrastructure: Twenty percent of India's primary healthcare system is provided by public health institutions or by Best NGO In Madhya Pradesh: How can we improve the Present Healthcare System in India?. Most secondary and tertiary care facilities are owned and operated by the private sector. Doctors, nurses, and other staff members are few at a typical government hospital. Because they serve a sizable population in the vicinity, these hospitals are frequently overcrowded. Because they have too many patients, they do not have enough beds. These facilities are unclean and unsanitary, they lack security, patient care is appalling, there may frequently be a scarcity of supplies and medications, staff members may be dishonest and want to take bribes from patients, and they may even be without essential utilities like fuel, power, and water. If their ambulances break down or get corrupted, patients could have to take care of themselves.

4. Low Health Insurance Penetration: People are compelled to seek care at private medical institutions or by ngo in madhya pradesh when public health systems fail. Private healthcare institutions run on a profit. They use the limited supply to boost their own pricing because there is an obvious disparity between supply and demand. This implies that compared to government hospitals, medical care may be significantly more expensive at private hospitals. Nevertheless, because 75% of people in our country lack health insurance, they must pay for their own medical care. Many people find healthcare to be costly as a result of this circumstance.

5. Low-quality Control: Do you recall the holes in the supply chain? As a result, private actors may now benefit from the healthcare industry. Obtaining an accreditation is not mandatory for a small new participant. Individuals are also not concerned about, nor aware of, quality parameters. They visit any inexpensive place. Small, for-profit clinics, hospitals, diagnostic centres, and imaging facilities began to spring up all over the place, with no oversight from the government. There is no minimal standard that they must meet. And yet, since they are reasonably priced, they thrive. Less than 1% of hospitals and diagnostic labs were accredited by NABH or NABL as of 2014.

Therefore, the following goals may be accomplished by the government if it increases spending on public healthcare:

1. Greater pay would entice knowledgeable medical professionals and labourers to remain in India

2. More pay and better living circumstances in smaller towns and villages will make it possible for physicians to practise there.

3. Greater funding will allow public hospitals to purchase supplies and medications, have a steady supply of water and energy, maintain a clean and safe environment, and keep equipment and ambulances in good working order so they are ready for use when needed.

4. More financing would assist create new colleges in more areas or boost the number of seats now available for medical, nursing, and technical training centres. In order to meet the enormous demands of our population, this would result in a greater number of competent medical workers.

5. More public health facilities can be established to prevent overcrowding in specific centres with more financing and simple access to competent labour. Beds, medications, and appropriate care may be given to patients when their numbers are under control.

6. The government may serve the underprivileged for free through the public health system or ngo in Madhya Pradesh if it receives additional cash. Apart from free medical care, the government can also give the impoverished health insurance so they can receive care at private institutions.

In order to provide the most for a given investment, the government would also need to innovate in order to improve the efficiency of public healthcare. Automation of various procedures would reduce the possibility of human mistake and speed up healthcare operations thanks to technology.

Technologies such as telemedicine have the potential to expand the accessibility of public healthcare, while EMR and big data analytics may offer governments, regulators, physicians, and other stakeholders crucial information to address disease outbreaks and enhance public health. Once more, technology costs money.

Government laws pertaining to healthcare would also need to be tightened in addition to financing. Stricter quality control standards along with an effective monitoring system would make sure quacks and phoney physicians don't practise. Additionally, that even the tiniest medical facility—let's say a lab—offers reasonably priced services with a minimum guaranteed quality.

Price restriction will also be enforced by regulations to safeguard patients.

To ensure that the majority of the population can afford and receive high-quality healthcare, the government must first fortify the public healthcare system before enacting harsher laws and price controls. Because in the absence of a robust public health system, the private sector or ngo in Madhya Pradesh would be forced to shoulder the whole population's burden and would not be able to do so profitably.

So How Does the Government Increase Its Spending?

To begin with, the budget need to include additional money for healthcare.

2) When it comes to funding allocation and programme implementation to fortify and enhance healthcare, the federal and state governments ought to coordinate. A number of well-meaning state and federal health programmes have encountered obstacles due to inconsistent or reduced financing from the federal government, placing further strain on the involved state governments.

3) Make the financing system better. Cash flow needs to be sufficient and consistent. In order to link funding to completed achievements, projects must be well defined and goal-oriented. In order to eradicate or significantly lessen corruption, the funding process should be open and the needless layers of red tape and bureaucracy should be cut.

4) Public-private partnerships, in which the private sector manages and executes the project while the government supplies the funding, can assist in achieving #3. Ultimately, the private sector outperforms the public sector in terms of project management, procedures, best practices, and quality assurance.

5) The government shouldn't depend on the idea of corporate social responsibility (CSR) to promote private investment and involvement in healthcare improvement as it isn't viable nor lucrative for the private player. Rather, in order to ensure sustainability and stimulate private involvement in important healthcare fields, the government should offer tax breaks and other incentives.

In the end, health insurance and new financing methods: the government should expand health insurance coverage, implement co-payments and health savings accounts, and make sure that all residents have access to the highest calibre of healthcare by ngo in Madhya Pradesh like WOTR.

There are other additional ways to enhance healthcare, such as:

1. Promoting domestic innovation and medical device production 2. Increasing funding for medical research

3. Enhancing technical, medical, and nursing education and upskilling the workforce currently in place

4. International cooperation: However, before we can do this, the government must prioritise financing for healthcare and fixing the essential infrastructure.
