Titles: Challenges of Medical Technology Access to Developing Countries

Introduction
Medical technology has increased the quality of health to people. Now due to inventions of

techniques health care of people can be improved. The situation depends on the environmental

conditions and government policies. In the developing countries, there are changes in health care.

This difference is linked with the approach of the country with existing resources (Mather,

Ramaiah, & Crowley, 2002). When the specific attention is taken on the Middle East sector there

are fewer facilities present to the public as compared to the west. The main cause is present in

government policies which propose as the first hurdle in updating the latest medical technologies

with the environment (Tomasi, Facchini, & Faitma, 2004).

In Middle East countries, people have less access towards medical treatment. This is because the

flaws are present in the government structure which do not allow the public to have state of art

health facilities. There is a restriction proposed in technology which impedes the smooth flow of

the system. There are problems in a system where health insurance has proved a serious question

for the inhabitants. Weak budgets and a shortage of medical staff is another portion which proves

as series of change in the system. Developing countries’ always lag towards the medical facilities

as the budget is deal with negligence and this sector always remains in a weak situation. There is

less information available to the existing health care facilities and people don’t care about the

nature of challenges which can prove a drawback for the developing countries (Chib, Velthoven,

M. H., & Car, 2015)’.

If medical facilities are not provided in sufficient demand there is a change observed in mortality

rate. People observe problems in getting support for diseases and also make the area vulnerable to

increase the death toll.

Literature Survey
In the Middle East, there are cases present for the negligence in medical facilities. People complain

that government is not providing adequate resources to deal with the change in Medical field. If a

person faces a severe heart attack there are no ENT or ECG machines available in local hospitals.

The facility of stunts is also not updated on regular terms. Sarah (Atiknson & Haran, 2015) also

studied this point in response to providing health care responsibilities for the developing countries.

It is evident that from the last 20 years, there is a change in satisfaction level for health services.

The important part here addressed the user perspective where health services are related to the

compliance of treatment with the person in health areas. There is a change in communication

behaviour with decision making strategies.

The literature states that developed countries’ have made a policy regulated by world health

organization for patient rights and medical facilities. The first part of the health care depends on

family planning services which can produce a change in variation in the user satisfaction levels.

The case from the user satisfaction shows the presence of health cases which were not pointed in

the history. The evidence from history suggests that pregnant woman in Brazil was involved in a

high risk and primary health care facilities were not present in the Brazil low lying area. This is

the negligence done by the government (Atiknson & Haran, 2015).

An example from literature also states that there were changes in satisfaction level for Indian tribes

in regard to the primary health care system. This condition should be addressed by the manager

which control the health systems. If the facilities are not given to people and needy patient that

government has to face the drawbacks of healthcare provision (Atiknson & Haran, 2015).

If the context of America and Great Britain is discussed under the findings, there are change is

satisfaction level for the old age people. This is because old age community is enjoying health

services. Gender differences are available in the form of health status as one gender covers for

health care as compared to the male gender. When the demographics of culture are discussed there

are changes in the expectation levels for people which form the level of measurement (Atiknson

& Haran, 2015).

Healthcare also measures the description of accessibility as well as the level of convenient present

for the people. This response towards the basic right of people which trust on local bodies for

satisfaction. Developed countries keep on changing the continuity of services which can be

identified as the positive step for healthcare systems (Atiknson & Haran, 2015).

The patient-professional relationship has also proved an example of changing the nature of user

experiences. There is a change in opinions for people which express their concerns with the

satisfaction level. The satisfaction level is actually absent in developing counties where a change

in medical services is there to halt patients for latest technological evidence (Atiknson & Haran,

2015).

There is evidence present from several authors which provide information about the satisfaction

level of healthcare services. The factors also include the desirability of investigators which form

the chance of raising a care system to change the service structure. There are changes in research

designs which can form the restructure of the health system. If the countries’ respond towards low

and middle-income ranges, this changes will be related to the decentralization issue (Atiknson &

Haran, 2015).

Russel (J.Andrews, M.Khan, & Crisp, 2017)and his coauthors’ have described an important topic

regarding the health care system. He states that for the given healthcare system there is a foreign

entry required to change the condition and facilities for poor and low-income countries. Poverty

5

and profits ratios are the main hindrances which stop the patient satisfaction and employ money

matter situation in developing countries’. In the early times, there were a region of Robin hood

care centres, which the main objective was to provide poor same healthcare facilities as the rich

receive in the contrary to the arrangement

In the records, there was recommendation given on the basis of reducing the profit for health care

which has proved an important step towards the main profit systems. The sudden change in profit

levels increased the population of the small town of Tanzania. If the concept of America is studied

under the light of provisions, there is a trend of increasing healthcare facilities. Change in policies

for the state has maintained a chance of decreasing the services for health (Atiknson & Haran,

2015).

Change in problems for the sustainable healthcare will prove a change for the start of society.

There were steps taken in Bangladesh, one of the developing countries where medical facilities

were present in less developed form and required the approach for the healthcare (J.Andrews,

M.Khan, & Crisp, 2017).

Abdul Karim (Adolescent health and health care in the Arab Gulf countries: Today's nneds and

Tommorrows challenges, 2016)also highlighted the adolescent health care facilities and challenges

which are needed for the future model. Adolescent stands as an important period where the body

is exposed to new changes. Here the demand for health care is required as a strong need for the

individual. When a population has addressed the change the transition of healthcare facilities

continue to carry on the value.

The adolescent has specific health care needs which should be addressed with the technical

developments. There is a gap existing between training and knowledge for healthcare facilities.

6
The Challenges Of Medical Technology Access To Developing Countries

This gap continues to grow o the level of opportunities. Healthcare provides remain ignorant for

the changes required in health systems. This literature actually highlights gulf countries response

to their approach to medical technologies and their expansion (Adolescent health and health care

in the Arab Gulf countries: Today's nneds and Tommorrows challenges, 2016).

The facts of Wealth are also analyzed for medical needs. Here the hospital care is present in less

developed areas. If the world health report is explained in rights of medical development, this

clearly states that failure to provide medical care’s proves as the reason for death. Controlling the

mortality of people requires the information about government objectives and there are incentives

on health population (Adolescent health and health care in the Arab Gulf countries: Today's nneds

and Tommorrows challenges, 2016).

Ibeneme (Roads to Health in Developing Countries: Understanding the intersection of culture and

healing, 2017) has also stated the purpose of incorporating culture intersection for the health care

in developing countries. Health care is an important topic which requires an important relationship

between the social norms and relationships for individual behaviour. The cause of Obesity may be

related to the health and living conditions. This culture of healthcare represents that Western

countries’ emphasize the importance of health care while developing countries have not adopted

standards for the health community.

If the cure for the disease is highlighted, western world represents it as a norm to understand the

population of standards. The population is aware of the medical needs. Here the health standards

re-accomplished with the help of changing facts. This will be related to the type of diagnosis

patterns. Medicine and biology have become the social norms of developed society (Roads to

Health in Developing Countries: Understanding the intersection of culture and healing, 2017).

Junaid (A.Razzak & L.Kellermann, 2002) also focuses on the importance of medical care when an

emergency is present in developed countries. Health care programs were constructed to deal with

the child health and maternal problems. It is the duty of the medical agencies to response towards

emergency situations and provides medical treatment to people in the areas. In developing

countries, there is a lack of proper medical facilities.

The programs which are used to be formulated on the base of medical emergencies are related to

a large number of casualties. The main focus is on the training the medical professional for

emergency conditions. These personals are found to be an important part of the medical care

program where emergency conditions should be reported with the help of comprehensive approach

towards the medical upgradation (A.Razzak & L.Kellermann, 2002).

Health care system can be enhanced with the help of existing resources upgradation and providing

an important role for life-threatening conditions. These conditions require medical care for the

communities. There is planning tool required for the health services in response to the primary

care system. Literature provides an example to support the causes of health care system (A.Razzak

& L.Kellermann, 2002).

Laurent Gille (Gile & Houy, 2014)also provides a fair point of the demand for healthcare and duty

of people to stay healthy where the conditions are present in less number. There are changes

observed in supply and demands practices where most of the sector incorporate the development

of health systems. If future is anticipated based on past records, there is a change in demand for

the markets.

8
The Challenges Of Medical Technology Access To Developing Countries

The change is involved in developing countries and it is important to understand the variables for

the health care. Healthcare expenditure remains an important topic for the health expansion.

Government fail to reconsider the nature of healthcare demand (Gile & Houy, 2014).

Peter has also addressed the deficiencies of health care in developing countries’. The healthcare

issue in developing counties have provided an important part of the research. Modern medicine

has been an important part of healthcare and it changes the perception of Middle East countries’

(Eugene.B, 1993).

Conclusion
The Middle East has a limitation to healthcare technology. This can be desired as the negligence

of government to address the needs of healthcare facilities. There are problems present for the

patient which face restriction in emergency conditions. There is a negligence in training of

personnel. The reduction in budget and conventional medical techniques prove a question for the

health department.

This research will be conducted in the descriptive form. First areas where attention is required

would be discussed in accordance with the finding. Research design will be presented in such way

that primary areas will the main focus and secondary areas will help us to make a solid plan for

implementation.

If there is a chance of conducting literature survey is given first the areas from government

perspective will be highlighted. This portion will be related to dividing the research areas into

small groups. The first group will be the patients and medical personals. The past records will help

to depict the real nature of the system.

Government hospitals and dealt care facilities will prove assumption about hindrances in systems.

There is the reason why the healthcare budget is reduced and implemented on other targets.

If the past records for medical personnel are conducted, the nature of hiring techniques and job

description will effectively help to identify the problem in the department.

Data will be collected with the help of quantitative and qualitative measurements. In terms of

qualitative analysis, there will be online survey were there response of people will be gathered

through facts and answers about the present problem. In case of quantitative analysis, interviews

10
The Challenges Of Medical Technology Access To Developing Countries

and questionnaires will be carried out. This questionnaire will address all the areas where

development is required for health care.

The medical history will also prove an important part of the analysis. Data description will be

carried out in the form of changing the nature of results and requiring the statics for use. This will

help to provide information about problems. This will also clarify why problems are there to hurdle

the medical technology development.

The literature review includes multiple opinions. In the first case, there was adoption for the

western world and health standards. In West, there is a concept for the user’s satisfaction. In

another work, there is a review that healthcare facilities should be understood as important for the

developing countries’. Another person stated that training of medical professional is required when

there are fewer chances for the errors.

Literature also suggests that Health services were researched as the main part of the population.

The subject of mortality was considered as the most important form for developing countries. If

this problem were ignored there will be a decrease in population levels.

Findings from the literature review were in accordance with the problems associated with research

objective. Medical changes in development were kept on negligence side form government. The

reason why this is preferred is according to logical facts. For example, the example of Srilanka

and Bangladesh were presented on account for the Middle East country. This concept is important

to address when the topic of health care and budget control is required.

This research will provide a close investigation of problems in health care advancement and will

direct the studies to a positive layout where all the important things are addressed in a systematic

manner.
