At&nbsp;present the&nbsp;availability of quality health care is lacking in our&nbsp;health centers and hospitals.&nbsp;To be frank, our public health care&nbsp; system&nbsp;is in crisis. This has resulted in the deaths of&nbsp;many patients&nbsp;and untold suffering to others. Instead of fixing this,&nbsp; both the PNP&nbsp;and the JLP are more interested in scoring political points, arguing about&nbsp;&nbsp;free health care&nbsp;and the short comings of the other party which is in&nbsp;government. The main interest &nbsp;of JAP will be to ensure that&nbsp;<strong>quality<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>health care<\/strong>&nbsp;is available to all. The root of the&nbsp;problem is that the health services are overburden &nbsp;by patients&nbsp;seeking assistance&nbsp;and under funding of the sector. It &nbsp;is&nbsp;desperately short of equipment, supplies and personnel as the&nbsp;budgetary allocation to the health sector is not sufficient. &nbsp;The best&nbsp;way to provide more funding for the health sector is to make those&nbsp;patients who can afford to pay a fee do so, while putting in&nbsp;measures to ensure that those who are not able to, will get the&nbsp;treatment that they need. It&#8217;s no use having free health care when&nbsp;the level of health care falls way below the minimum standard.&nbsp;Patients have to spend countless hour waiting and get numerous&nbsp;new appointments. For many patients needing specialized&nbsp;treatment to save their lives, their appointments are so far away that it is&nbsp; almost certain that they will be dead by&nbsp;then. Other patients spend months in the hospital at great cost as&nbsp;they are unable to buy supplies such as pins which are needed for&nbsp;surgery to fix broken bones.<br>A large number of the patients that are seen at our medical facilities&nbsp;&nbsp;are patients suffering &nbsp;from life style disease such as obesity related illnesses, accident victims and victims of violence. It is important &nbsp;that the number of these patients be reduce to the bare minimum as they use up a considerable amount of the allotted resources and deprived other patients of care. Many persons suffering from lifestyle diseases can see great improvement in their health simply by changing their lifestyle. Many can be weaned off medication simply by a change in their diet and\/or doing exercise. An ongoing program encouraging a healthy lifestyle will be&nbsp;done by a JAP government. &nbsp;The treatment of &nbsp;just one motor vehicle accident or stabbing victim can run into millions of dollars. Accident victims and victims of violence, receive priority attentions which&nbsp;often results in long wait for other patients and the cancellation and rescheduling of elective surgery even after some patient&nbsp;s had been prep and made ready for the operation. &nbsp;If the number of these patients in need of emergency care can be greatly reduced along with the promotion of a healthy life style among our citizens, &nbsp;&nbsp;these resources could be redirected to the care of&nbsp; patients needing elective surgery, both medical and cosmetic. One of the main thrust of JAP will be to take steps which will result in a high quality of health care &nbsp;for all those in need. The reintroduction of user fees for some users will be considered&nbsp;along with steps so as to ensure that no patient is denied care due to their inability to pay these fees. A fund will also be set up to pay for patients needs such as pins for broken bones so as to prevent them being admitted for extended period of time due to their &nbsp;inability to purchase supplies necessary for their operation or procedure. The care of one accident patient with a broken leg which need pinning and who need physiotherapy care can last for an extended period of time &nbsp;and runs into millions of dollars.<br>&nbsp;The cost of caring for the numerous victims of motor vehicle accidents and victims of violence runs into billions of dollars each year.&nbsp;With the reduction in these spendings, more funds will be available for the maintenance and purchase of important equipment and furniture, the &nbsp;purchase of medicine, linen &nbsp;and care of the wards, and the upgrade and maintenance of the plant (buildings, vehicles etc). JAP will also ensure that facilities are established to treat the many illnesses for which the expertise but not the facilities are available. These include the treatment of&nbsp;some&nbsp;heart, kidney and eye diseases. A fully equip and functional burn center will be established for the care of those in need of such care.&nbsp; This lack of facilities has forced&nbsp;many persons to seek treatment overseas or simply to die.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HEALTH &nbsp;The health of the nation&#8217;s citizens is of utmost importance.
