WHATPROBLEMARE WESOLVING?

Delivery of health care & educationas basic human rights

Over the years, there has been great concern with

reforming the health care and education all over

the world. However, all the problems we have with

the delivery of health care and education are

because we treat them as if they were a commodity.

WHATPROBLEMARE WESOLVING?

The poor should not be punishedbecause of their unaffordability

H E A L T H C A R E &E D U C A T I O N A L S E R V I C E SC A N N O T B E O W N E D O RC O N T R O L L E D

No one should own the services of healthcare delivery

and education. Commodities are owned, while services

are not. Because if they were owned, it would be easy to

control them and limit their delivery based on

affordability to pay.

WHY DOWE CARE?

The basic conceptions regarding healthcare andeducation should be revolutionized to deal with them

as a right and not a privilege.

W I N T E R S , 2 0 1 6

It has been the consensus of the world that healthcare is a human right, as declared by the Universal

Declaration of Human Rights which stated "the rightof everyone to the enjoyment of the highest

attainable standard of physical and mental health".

REAL-LIFEEXAMPLEThe implementation of theseconcepts at the Children’s CancerHospital – 57357 Hospital - Egypt

Our objective is to rationalize theimportance of delivering healthcareand education as righteous servicesnot as commodities, and theirimplications on humanistic, economic,and developmental standpointsthrough what we have accomplishedin 57357 hospital.

HUMANISTIC

It would be inhumane and

morally offensive to make

decision about life and death

based on the amount of

money a person has on hand

(Winters, 2016).

This concept can change the

way of thinking of the

pharmaceutical, medical

equipment and educational

industries, to follow more

economic approaches to

deliver the services to cover

a larger portion of the

population.

C O M M O D I T I E S .

The enhancements in

performance and

development will take place

on both sides; the deliverer

and the receiver of the

services.

We understand the struggle.

There should be a more convincing moral framework

that does not deprive the less privileged of their basic

human rights to receive dignified health care and

education.

HUMANISTICIMPLICATIONS

ECONOMICIMPLICATIONS

Cost effectiveness

The concept of delivering healthcare and education from an

economical –in adverse to a commercial- point of view will

lead to the delivery of more services with lower costs, thus

increasing the market share of these services leading to

more productivity and overall economic positive output.

ECONOMICIMPLICATIONS

STUDIES SUGGEST THATPROVIDING UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE NOT ONLY IMPROVES THEHEALTH OF POPULATIONS, BUTALSO MAY BE COST-EFFECTIVE .

(WILPER ET AL., 2009)

Fostering a healthy population secures economic development and hence sustains growth &

prosperity. Providing the proper health care from the beginning ensures that individuals are

diagnosed & treated right from the start hence this cuts costs through avoiding any complications

that can happen and ensures a faster return of the individuals to the work force.

UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE IS COST-EFFECTIVE

of global health spending ($ 2.8 trillion) is in low­ and

middle­income countries. High out­of­pocket spending

means that nearly a third of households in Africa and

Southeast Asia are forced to borrow money or sell assets to

pay for health care, often falling into financial ruin.

ONLY 11%

The individuals who deliver the

health care or educational services,

who will sense a feeling of

achievement from delivering the

basic human rights to the people

without discrimination based on

ability to pays.

Individuals who are receiving the

health care or educational services

without having to worry about the

healthcare or educational

expenditures would lead to better

productivity at work and better

developmental and economic output.

A WISEINVESTMENT IN

HEALTHCARERESOURCES

The delivery of the best possible

health care services to children

with cancer has led to better

treatment of the children and

achieving higher cure rates, with

less complications and less

possibility for disease recurrence,

at relatively lower costs

Improved patient outcomes are

attributed to improved

psychological status from being

granted all their basic human

rights of receiving high-quality

healthcare services in a

dignified manner free of

charge at lower costs.
