...Camille Denise D. Nucum TFN 1NU03 Sir Dela Cruz “ The Role of Volunteer Nurses in the present Philippine health care situation” First question is why do nurses volunteer? a volunteer is someone who works for a community or for the benefit of the environment, primarily because they choose to do so.” Im likely see that this definition closely matches why I chose nursing in the first place. There are some reasons why nurses do this voluntarily and without their profits involve only just for the sake of having experience serve as imparting knowledges to other people. These are the main reasons:Using your skills to help others. Nurses often have specialized skills and knowledge that can benefit a wide array of people. To keep the resume going. If you lose your job or are just starting out as a nurse, what better way to improve your resume than serving others? If you are a new nurse, a volunteer opportunity offers the "experience" that hiring personnel are looking for. A sense of self. I can think of no better feeling of satisfaction than helping others each day. To make a positive impact on the community as a whole, To demonstrate to your children the importance of giving to others. Further, theres` a lot of opportunities available for nurses alike, Peace Corps/Missionary Work, Mentorship to a nursing student, School Nurse, Hospice, Nursing Home, and Volunteer to teach classes with community help organizations (Alcoholic Anonymous, abuse victim...

...Philippines Robin Brown Rasmussen College Author Note This paper is being submitted on January 13, 2015, for Prof. Dorothy Moore, H440 International Healthcare. Philippines Thesis In the Philippines, delivery of healthcare to its citizens is a fragmented system with a dysfunctional health workforce which results in great disparity between healthcare for the rich and poor. In 2010, the government concentrated on specific programs to promote effective and sustainable healthcare, but with many people in isolated parts of the country, this turned out to be a challenge. The American health care system, according to television, radio and newspapers, is having issues with shortage of medical professionals, especially nurses and caregivers, in industrialized countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom. This has caused a massive departure of certified health workers from the Philippines. The government is concerned that the health care system is going to collapse if the medical workers keep leaving. Since 1994, 100,000 medical workers have left the country (Castro, 2009). The economic uncertainty and the political instability in the Philippines have greatly affected the decisions of Filipino doctors to go abroad to find greener pastures. Medical graduates in the Philippines have been migrating to prosperous nations since the beginning of the 20th century but the increase in their numbers from recent years is very alarming. The current “migration” of Filipino...

...rather than 'doing charity while doing trade'. In other countries, there is a much stronger emphasis on community organizing, democratic control of capital and mutual principles, rather than philanthropy. In recent years, there has been a rise in the concept of social purpose businesses which pursue social responsibility directly, or raise funds for charitable projects. Many entrepreneurs, whilst running a profit focused enterprise that they own, will make charitable gestures through the enterprise, expecting to make a loss in the process. However, social enterprises are differentiated through transparent evidence that their social aims are primary, and that profits are secondary. Social Enterprise in the Philippines Gawad Kalinga (GK), which means to "give care" in Filipino, is...

...Unang Yakap Campaign. With this campaign, the DOH aims to cut down infant mortality in the Philippines by at least half. The campaign employs Essential Newborn Care (ENC) Protocol as a strategy to improve the health of the newborn through interventions before conception, during pregnancy, at and soon after birth, and in the postnatal period. The ENC Protocol provides an evidence-based, low cost, low technology package of interventions that will save thousands of lives. Based on health statistics, the Philippines is one of the 42 countries that account for 90% of under-five mortality worldwide. 82,000 Filipino children under five years old die every year. 37% of them are newborn. Majority of them (3/4) die within the first two days of life. Mostly due to stressful events or conditions during labor, delivery and immediate postpartum period. The current practice of handling newborns, like clamping and cutting the umbilical cord and washing the baby right after birth, have been known to actually contribute to the high incidence of neonatal deaths and illnesses in the country. Thus the need for a paradigm shift from the prevailing standard procedures into the new protocol. Health Secretary Duque explained that the ENC Protocol involves focusing on the first hours of life of the newborn with the manual guiding health workers in providing evidence-based essential newborn care. Essential Newborn Care Workflow The ENC Time-bound Interventions The guidelines categorize procedures into time-bound...

...this was associated with manufacturing firms, such as Coca Cola that outsourced large segments of its supply chain. BPO is typically categorized into back office outsourcing - which includes internal business functions such as human resources or finance and accounting, and front office outsourcing - which includes customer-related services such as contact center services. BPO that is contracted outside a company's country is called offshore outsourcing. BPO that is contracted to a company's neighboring (or nearby) country is called near shore outsourcing. Often the business processes are information technology-based, and are referred to as ITES-BPO, where ITES stands for Information Technology Enabled Service. Knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) and legal process outsourcing (LPO) are some of the sub-segments of business process outsourcing industry. In 2010, the Philippines surpassed India as the largest business process outsourcing industry in the world. After growing 20 per cent in 2012, the BPO industry of the Philippines is estimated to gross revenue of upwards to $25 billion by 2016.
