Twelve programs that demonstrate innovation and success in improving health in community and workplace settings around the world were named today as finalists for 2011 International Health Promotion Awards (http://www.aihpa.org).

The awards, presented by two leaders in health promotion, URAC and the Care Continuum Alliance, will be presented during a symposium in Rome, Italy, December 5 and 6.

These programs represent some of the best ideas in community and workplace health promotion currently being implemented with successful results, said Alan P. Spielman, President and CEO of URAC. Through this symposium, we are striving to be a voice for these programs, sharing them throughout the health care industry. Our hope is that others can learn from and replicate these innovative ideas to bring health advances to people around the world.

An expert panel of judges comprising health care professionals from around the world chose the IHPA finalists, who were evaluated based on their online submissions and who will present their programs during the IHPA Symposium.

These awards honor two important settings for improving population health, said Tracey Moorhead, President and CEO of the Care Continuum Alliance. Community health promotion programs on every continent meet the vital needs of access and care for populations in need, and workplace wellness has become central to the delivery of preventative and chronic care. Recognizing these innovative programs underscores the importance of community and workplace wellness initiatives.

Final awards will be given in two categories:

International Community Health Promotion Awards

As I was reading through the 2010 Human Development Report released last Friday by the United Nations Development Program, I was disheartened to see that South Africa had dropped in the report’s rankings. In the report’s human development index, which ranks the world’s countries according to national income, life expectancy, and literacy, South Africa this year ranked 110 out of 169 countries, down 6 levels from its 2005 ranking. For a country that has the lowest poverty levels on the African continent, what can explain South Africa’s challenges? Perhaps even more important, what can be done to improve not only the country’s ranking, but the lives of its individual residents?

In an honest (albeit ambiguous) answer to these questions, the report notes that there is no single model or uniform prescription for progressing human development. That makes sense, as some countries show improved rankings in spite of modest economic growth, while other countries show strong economic performance but minimal gains in health, literacy, or individual income. But what can explain the challenges faced by South Africa, especially when contrasted by the rapid progress made by other Sub-Saharan countries with similar demographics? Namely, Botswana, Benin, and Burkina Faso are all noted in the report as among the top 25 countries that have made the greatest progress in human development.

Health is certainly part of the picture. Countries with high adult mortality have a smaller workforce, less household income, higher unemployment, and, not surprisingly, lower quality of life. This is part of the explanation for South Africa’s declining ranking: a declining life expectancy due to the HIV crisis. With nearly one in five people infected with HIV, South Africa’s life expectancy currently stands at 52 years. Other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including Swaziland, Lesotho, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, similarly have HIV prevalence rates above 15 percent and experience declining life expectancies. As a result, these countries show the slowest progress in human development. Although the explanation for South Africa’s lower rank in the index is discouraging, it is at least simple and concrete. It is an easily understood cause and effect that, with the stabilizing of HIV infection rates as some reports show, can hopefully soon be reversed.

The real linchpin to human development, though, is education. Education is the common denominator to bringing together all components of a country’s development: national income, life expectancy, and literacy. It is education that leads to healthy societies and empowered citizens. Educated people enjoy intellectual fulfillment, improved employment options, higher employment retention, and increased income. Educated people show improved health and quality of life, important outcomes for South Africans whose families and communities have been devastated by the AIDS pandemic. In South Africa, only a focus on education can improve the country’s human development and improve the lives of its residents.

A health care professional is a person who provides proper health care to any individual in need of health care services in a systematic and professional manner. They include Physicians, Nurses, and Dentists, Physician assistants, Pharmacists, Therapists, Psychologists, support staff and other such individuals who are licensed to deliver health care of any kind. Although physicians’ services are the most needed in providing health care, the duties of others cannot be under estimated. To understand the value of each of their services we need to learn about them.

Physicians:
A Physician – also known as Doctor or a Medical Practitioner is a person who practices the Profession of Medicine and hence helps to maintain health. He is the one who makes the diagnosis and treatment for any disease or injury. A Physician needs to be highly competent and possess a detailed knowledge about the science of medicine. The physician is bound to do what is right by himself. Medical practitioners hold a medical degree from the Universities from which they graduate. Mostly they specialize in a particular field. They also need the permission from the government in order to practice.

Nurses:
A Nurse is generally a person who completes nursing education and undertakes training in the diagnosis and treatment of some common and a few complex medical conditions. They are licensed to provide a varied range of services.

Dentists:
The study and practice of diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases of the mouth, the face and the maxilla is called Dentistry. Dental health is very important for overall health of a person. Dentist is a person who practices dentistry. It also includes the services of Dental Assistants, Technicians and Therapists.

Physician Assistants:
A Physician Assistant is a Professional who is licensed to provide a broad range of services under the supervision of a licensed physician. He conducts physical examination, orders and interprets tests, assists in surgery and also prescribes medicines.

Health care system can be either managed by governments or by private institutions. It is the responsibility of these organizations to ensure that these providers are giving valuable service and unlicensed practitioners are punished severely. Stress in workplace is quite common among health care professionals. It may be due to long working hours, exposure to diseases, constant exposure to death, inadequate staff etc. Depression and anxiety are the results of such elevated levels of stress.
