Full textAbstract:
As a liberal constitution, the Constitution of Lesotho maintains a bifurcated human rights framework. Human rights are embodied in two distinct chapters - chapter II and chapter III - with different legal implications. Chapter II contains civil and political rights styled 'fundamental human rights and freedoms' while chapter III embodies socio-economic rights styled 'principles of state policy'. The right to life falls under chapter II, while the right to health is under chapter III. The juridical effect of this division is that socio-economic rights are not judicially enforceable. The courts have been tenacious in maintaining this division. The High Court's recent decision in Lesotho Medical Association v Minister of Health has challenged this prevailing judicial policy. In this case the Court adopted a liberal approach to the right to life in enforcing the right to health. The Court held that the failure by the Ministry of Health to provide personal protective clothing to health workers was a violation of the right to life. The main question for human rights scholarship is whether this decision could signal a change of approach by the judiciary in Lesotho in favour of the liberal approach to the right to life. This article sets out to investigate this question.

Full textAbstract:
Recently, after the President's initiative action for "globalization of quality of life" by promulgating the ideal goal for coming 21th century, the Korean Government has established the 'National Welfare Planning Board' which has a historical duty to work out a long & medium-term blueprint for social security system in Korea. The matter of the promotion of national welfare is viewed as a difficult task to deal with, since it is very hard to tackle the matter by only a single government department, Ministry of Health & Welfare. Last year, with renaming the government department by Ministry of Health & Welfare, which was, in the past, named Ministry of Health & Social Affairs, the Government declared that the year of 1995 should be a launching year for advancing national health & welfare, in this respect, it has significant implications that 'National Welfare Planning Board' has been established, not in a sole department level but in the government inter-department level, and that the Board is co-headed by both the minister of Health & Welfare and the president of Korea Development Institute(KDI).

Full textAbstract:
The formation and strengthening of the welfare state required the theoretical development of conceptual foundations, a set of policy measures, and their implementation by all stakeholders. “The concept of the welfare state, which emerged in the 20th century, is experiencing a crisis in many countries and cannot provide an increase in welfare ... Many previous models and factors of economic development are practically exhausted. In many countries, the concept of the welfare state, which emerged in the 20th century, is also in crisis. Today, not only can it not ensure a steady growth in well-being, but sometimes even keep it at the same level,” the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin said at the opening of the Belt and Road Forum in Beijing. The need to create a new concept of the welfare state in the Russian Federation at the beginning of the XXI century was associated with the fact that the country’s population began to advocate for the implementation of an active state policy that meets the principles and essence of the welfare state. It was also necessary to harmonize and bring closer the domestic legislation and socio-economic practice with the experience and regulatory systems of the CIS countries, EurAsEC, European countries participating in international treaties. The development of the concept of the welfare state in the Russian Federation was carried out by a well-known group of scientists and practitioners in Russia based on the Academy of Labor and Social Relations. The concept of a welfare state, created by this group, which included the authors of the article, was discussed at the Expert Council of the IPA EurAsEC. The program was approved by the participants of the conference organized at the Academy by the decision of the organizing committee in 2004. The draft Concept of the welfare state of the Russian Federation has been supplemented and corrected in accordance with the suggestions and comments of the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Labor, Ministry of Economic Development, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Natural Resources, Ministry of Education, Social Insurance Fund, Pension Fund, Federal Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund, as well as participants in thematic conferences and round tables. However, the active processes of globalization have led to the need not only to introduce simple changes to the existing concept of the welfare state, and also propose its new paradigm for subsequent wide public discussion.

Full textAbstract:
The article’s aim is to examine the legal regulation of social welfare in Poland after World War II up to the year 1989. The article analyzes the legal position of beneficiaries of social welfare benefits in that period. The political situation in Poland after the end of World War II introduced changes in the perception of the pre-war system of social welfare. In the period of the Polish People’s Republic, social welfare was based on an incorrect legal basis and the legal position of beneficiaries of social welfare was not protected by law. Social welfare was transferred to the Ministry of Health and its organizational system was centralized. Such a situation lasted until the Act of 29 November 1990 on Social Welfare was passed. Theoretical and historical methods of legal research were used in this article.

Full textAbstract:
Critical perspectives and practices are fundamental to social work, yet there are only scarce examples of direct critical practice in public social services, and even fewer empirical evaluations of their outcomes for service users and social workers. This article presents a rapid evidence review of 25 evaluation studies of five programs that operate in the social services departments in Israel according to the principles of the Poverty-Aware Paradigm (PAP). The PAP is a critical paradigm for direct social work practice with people living in poverty that was implemented in the welfare services by the Ministry of Welfare, targeting over 14,000 service users. The evaluation studies we reviewed encompass an overall quantitative sample of 4612 service users and 1363 professionals, and a qualitative sample of 420 service users and 424 professionals. The findings present: (1) the program’s outcomes for service users in terms of relationship with social workers, financial circumstances, family relations, and children’s safety; and (2) the program’s impact on social workers’ attitudes and practices. Finally, we discuss the lessons learned regarding social workers’ role in combatting poverty, the construction of success in interventions with people in poverty, and the article’s limitations.

Full textAbstract:
The discussion focuses on the Occupational Health and Safety Management System which was initiated by the International Labour Organization to facilitate the formulation, implementation and evaluation of occupational health and safety interventions at a national policy, sector and organizational level in all countries. It also focuses on Zimbabwe’s occupational health and safety policy, regulatory and institutional framework. The ILO’s OSH-MS 2001 was developed to provide a unique international model, compatible with other management system standards and guides, towards promoting occupational health and safety in a systematic manner. In Zimbabwe, occupational health and safety laws that are applicable to all employers and employees across sectors are enshrined within the Labour Act, Chapter 28.01, and the National Social Security Authority’s Accident Prevention Workers Compensation Scheme Notice No. 68 of 1990. Occupational health and safety management in Zimbabwe is pursued through the International Labour Organization’s Zimbabwe Office, the Ministry of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare, the National Social Security Authority, and the Zimbabwe Occupational Health and Safety Council, which comprises government, employers and labour unions. It was recommended that Zimbabwe fully adopts the OHS-MS in all sectors, industries and organizations in an adaptive manner. The study also recommended systematic capacity building at a national, sectoral, industrial and organizational level to enhance effective, efficient and adaptive implementation of this tool, and continuous interaction and engagement between the ILO, Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare, EMCOZ, ZCTU and ZFTU for the realization of the highest standards of occupational health and safety in Zimbabwe.

Full textAbstract:
The Social Security Administrator (BPJS) as an independent public legal entity has its legal position and authority. Because of the regulation issued by the Ministry of Health, the independence of BPJS is interfered with. The relationship that has not been well organized and elegant between BPJS and the Ministry of Health has caused many program problems in the field. Therefore, we need to figure out where the position of BPJS is as a state institution with a public legal entity. The BPJS forms the basis of the Welfare State, through which the government carries out its role of providing basic citizens’ rights to life. Based on Article 28 H and 34 of the 1945 Constitution, the National Social Security System (SJSN) law was established. The Social Security Administrator for Health (BPJS Kesehatan), a legal entity established by the law to administer social security programs, was then formed. Based on those bases, the relationship between BPJS of Health and the Ministry of Health is functional so that the BPJS as a state institution responsible to the President has complete independence. Keywords: Social Security Administrator for Health; Public Legal Entity; Legal Position.

Full textAbstract:
Only recently studied by Italian historiography, public health is one of the most important sectors of a modern Welfare system. During the Twentieth century Italy faced the hygienic and sanitary problem often with different ways and tools than other European countries. The aim of this article is to understand better the attitude and the development of the main public health institutions, both at the central and peripheral level, during the three great phases that marked the history of Italy in the last century: the liberal age, fascism and the Republic, as well as to highlight the organisations, men and structures that exercised decisive functions in the bureaucratic and administrative State machine. The essay focuses on the most significative legislative measures (for example, the “Testi Unici” of 1907 and 1934) and the turning points that have changed the sector on the institutional plan, from the creation of the Directorate-General for Public Health inside the Ministry of the Interior, and destined to remain for the entire Fascist period, to the birth, in the post-war years, of the High Commission for Hygiene and Public Health, then replaced by the Ministry of Health, until the establishment of the National Health Service in 1978.

Most of the people whom social welfare organizations serve are the vulnerable groups at the margins of the society, and the service refers as a highly public interest. Therefore, relevant social service staffs need to implement their duties with more internal motivation. The purpose of the study was to increase both motivations and work intentions of social workers, reduce the rate of resignation, and stabilize the social welfare system. A descriptive statistical survey was adopted to collect the data. When the subjects were the regular employees work for 13 social welfare organizations under the Ministry of Health and Welfare, 501 questionnaires were distributed to them. 432 questionnaires were collected later, and 424 of them eventually were effective. Based on independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Scheffé post hoc test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis. The survey concluded: 1.The correlation between motivations of public service and work intention is significant. 2.The influences upon family socialization, professional identity, organizational culture, employee training, external remuneration, and personal population statistic variable are significant. 3.The influences upon professional identities, organizational cultures, employee trainings, external remunerations, and personal population statistic variables are significant. The study findings: 1.The subjects have a medium-high level of motivation for public service on the whole. 2.The staffs working in remote areas have the highest work intention because of the organization staffing structure. 3.The public service motivations and the work intention are directly linked. 4.The public service motivations would be risen or weakened due to the interlaced influence on internal and external factors.

Tobacco hazard prevention has been a serious issue among the world including Taiwan. For example, Ministry of Health and Welfare, Taiwan’s government in charge of health for the public, and the nonprofit association, John Tung Foundation, have helped pass the Tobacco Hazards Prevention Act and Health and Welfare Surcharge of Tobacco Products. Meanwhile, they communicated cigarette-related news via mass media in an intention to improve smokers' attitude and behavior toward their own health. Recently, social media has also been adopted in health communication due to its popularity, which increases the attention in academic field. However, relevant studies in Taiwan have focused on its effectiveness and evaluation from the perspective of social marketing. Very few studies concentrated on the health-related message creation, message communication strategy, and post type and form on social media, not to mention its influence on the audience. Thus, the gap must be bridged. This study tried to realize the tobacco-related message on Facebook Fan Page of Ministry of Health and Welfare and John Tung Foundation by exploring the message issue, message post form, promotion and issue endorsement, message narratives, the subject to message appeals, message appeals, social support in message, users’ social support and feedback. Last, the study also analyzed 129 messages from Ministry of Health and Welfare and 664 from John Tung Foundation and came up with 5 main results: 1) The tobacco prevention messages content from both pages are identical but Ministry of Health and Welfare emphasize one-way promotion. 2) The message post forms are diverse, drifted away from simple text or hyperlink. 3) The message source and endorsement are of little difference between the two pages. Endorsement is suggested to vary due to different target audience. 4) Both of the two pages mainly rely on rational appeal while emotional appeal subsidiary. John Tung Foundation uses Fear appeals more often. 5) Social support and feedback engagement are lacking, which makes Facebook a one-way communication tool. The study ends up by giving suggestions to the academic and practical field based on the results and conclusions in an expectation to strengthen practical field for effectively improve audience’s health attitude and behavior.

Full textAbstract:
The first academic study of Lord Woolton’s important wartime role, first as Minister of Food and subsequently as Minister of Reconstruction. Woolton’s Diaries and correspondence (including with Churchill) provide key insights into how the Ministry of Food continued to operate substantially undisturbed by bombing raids, because of its relocation to Colwyn Bay while Woolton maintained the propaganda machinery for the Ministry in London. This enables a fuller understanding of the political dimensions to decisions on rationing, and the constant challenges facing the Ministry. It reveals Woolton’s consciousness of the social impact of rationing decisions, including reportage of their reception in the newspapers of the day. The book also includes a focus on Woolton’s role as Minister of Reconstruction, and how his non-party status was crucial to the development of key white papers on the main reconstruction issues, including employment, housing and a post-war national health service. His work in this area is little known, and it deserves to be better known as a background to the development of the Welfare State post-1945. Using a thematic approach to selection of diary entries and correspondence, with references to Woolton’s key speeches in the Lords during his tenure as Minister of Food, and Minister of Reconstruction, this book provides new insights into the relations between government departments as well as into the reasoning behind the choices made by politicians in food rationing and reconstruction.

Full textAbstract:
The exploitative and illegal movement of persons constitutes one of the social vices that plague the world today. Human trafficking manifests in multifarious subsets such as sex trafficking, body part harvesting, and so on. These elements of culture can either promote human growth or undermine it. The prevalence of the phenomenon of child harvesting has brought the phrase “baby factories” into Nigerian culture. However, this study, adopting the descriptive method of research, takes a tilt towards articulating the phenomenon in order to identify the socio-religious implications on Ibibio culture. The negative cultural attitude towards adopted children and discrimination of adopted children discourage couples from legal adoption. The researcher recommends that the Ministry of Health should intensify monitoring and evaluation of traditional birth attendants operating in Akwa Ibom State, while pregnant girls and women who cannot care for their children should be drawn into the welfare plan of the Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Welfare.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Although the National Insurance sick note was ‘born’ on 5 July 1948, medical certification has a much longer history. Like the British welfare state itself, one cannot understand the sick note without knowing the prewar welfare systems that provided both the blueprint for the postwar health and social security systems as well as warning about the sick notes potential weaknesses. This chapter begins by explaining why medical certification was central to William Beveridge’s plans for the new welfare state. Sickness benefit would reduce demand on the health system—and vice-versa—but only if access was restricted to those who ‘really’ needed it. The chapter then demonstrates how experience of the old National Health Insurance system had made doctors and administrators sceptical about whether sick notes were appropriate for the task. It concludes by analysing the debates between the BMA and the Ministry of Health over the creation of the NHS. Here, doctors complained bitterly about sick notes. Based on their experience in the interwar years, doctors saw sick notes as a waste of time and scientifically inaccurate. Yet, they worked better than any realistic alternative. Doctors eventually dropped their opposition, but the debates in the 1940s give vital context to those seen in the following decades.

We assessed the health care reform and its effects on household’s welfare such as access to health care and household economic burden. We used descriptive analysis on 2002-2011 Ministry of Health and OECD Health Statistics. The main result is about using health care. Access to health care increased after health care reform in Turkey. Number of applications to health care service server and its units rose. On the other hand, financial burden of health care on household’s budget decreased number of applications. The main result percentage of not consulting a specialist even needed to consult a specialist but did not during the past 12 months is %4.9 in 2003 and %19.9 in 2010. To improve health care access, policy makers should improve public sector provision of health care, increase social security benefit packages and protect poor and vulnerable.

The author of this paper points to the increasing problem of sexual violence and human trafficking at the global level, as well as in Serbia and the republics ex- Yugoslavia. Unfortunately, this problem has not drawn much attention and the allocated funds, before all those from government budgets, have not been enough for training staff at specialized and other facilities to offer support and protective services to the victims of these criminal acts. Particular emphasis is placed on the state bodies, as well as local authorities and their institutions of social welfare, health insurance fund, national employment service and their branches in local communities. In this paper, the author also points to the need to further train staff who work in the field of education and coaching at all levels, starting from the pre-school institutions, up to the centers for long-life learning. The similar situation exists at the Ministry of Internal Affairs since it is expected from the representatives of this important government department and the police departments throughout Serbia, to offer the services of physical protection and hiding the identity of potential victims, their personal data and addresses. Currently there are no adequate technical and communication means, appropriate facilities and professionally trained staff to execute all these activities. Finally, it should be noted that the situation in the judicial sector is much better based on the survey they was conducted among the organizations which govern the activities aimed at the prevention of sexual violence and human trafficking.

Through the initiative of the Family Planning Fortnight: Meeting the Future Challenges, held in December 1993, the Government of Bangladesh made a policy statement about the critical importance of dealing with the nation's population problem. The Fortnight provided the strategic framework for developing actions to strengthen the National Family Planning Program that would meet the country's population challenges. To initiate rapid action, the Family Planning Fortnight Steering Committee, under the chairmanship of the Secretary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, formed a working group to prepare a report that would capitalize on all earlier efforts and lay out a plan of action. The working group identified a number of priority areas requiring immediate action to regain the momentum of the National Family Planning Program, and to ensure success in meeting the government's demographic, social, and economic goals. The working group recognized that there are a number of long-term, strategic policy issues that also require quick attention. As noted in this report, efforts to increase the dissemination and utilization of research results for policy formulation have been productive in Bangladesh from the perspective of the government, NG0s, and donors.

Full textAbstract:
This report is part of a larger cross-country comparative project and constitutes an account and analysis of the measures comprising the Norwegian national response to the COVID-19 pandemic during the year of 2020. This time period is interesting in that mitigation efforts were predominantly of a non-medical nature. Mass vaccinations were in Norway conducted in early 2021. With one of the lowest mortality rates in Europe and relatively lower economic repercussions compared to its Nordic neighbours, the Norwegian case stands unique (OECD, 2021: Eurostat 2021; Statista, 2022). This report presents a summary of Norwegian response to the COVID-19 pandemic by taking into account its governance, political administration and societal context. In doing so, it highlights the key features of the Nordic governance model and the mitigation measures that attributed to its success, as well as some facets of Norway’s under-preparedness. Norway’s relative isolation in Northern Europe coupled with low population density gave it a geographical advantage in ensuring a slower spread of the virus. However, the spread of infection was also uneven, which meant that infection rates were concentrated more in some areas than in others. On the fiscal front, the affluence of Norway is linked to its petroleum industry and the related Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund. Both were affected by the pandemic, reflected through a reduction in the country’s annual GDP (SSB, 2022). The Nordic model of extensive welfare services, economic measures, a strong healthcare system with goals of equity and a high trust society, indeed ensured a strong shield against the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, the consequences of the pandemic were uneven with unemployment especially high among those with low education and/or in low-income professions, as well as among immigrants (NOU, 2022:5). The social and psychological effects were also uneven, with children and elderly being left particularly vulnerable (Christensen, 2021). Further, the pandemic also at times led to unprecedented pressure on some intensive care units (OECD, 2021). Central to handling the COVID-19 pandemic in Norway were the three national executive authorities: the Ministry of Health and Care services, the National directorate of health and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. With regard to political-administrative functions, the principle of subsidiarity (decentralisation) and responsibility meant that local governments had a high degree of autonomy in implementing infection control measures. Risk communication was thus also relatively decentralised, depending on the local outbreak situations. While decentralisation likely gave flexibility, ability to improvise in a crisis and utilise the municipalities’ knowledge of local contexts, it also brought forward challenges of coordination between the national and municipal level. Lack of training, infection control and protection equipment thereby prevailed in several municipalities. Although in effect for limited periods of time, the Corona Act, which allowed for fairly severe restrictions, received mixed responses in the public sphere. Critical perceptions towards the Corona Act were not seen as a surprise, considering that Norwegian society has traditionally relied on its ‘dugnadskultur’ – a culture of voluntary contributions in the spirit of solidarity. Government representatives at the frontline of communication were also open about the degree of uncertainty coupled with considerable potential for great societal damage. Overall, the mitigation policy in Norway was successful in keeping the overall infection rates and mortality low, albeit with a few societal and political-administrative challenges. The case of Norway is thus indeed exemplary with regard to its effective mitigation measures and strong government support to mitigate the impact of those measures. However, it also goes to show how a country with good crisis preparedness systems, governance and a comprehensive welfare system was also left somewhat underprepared by the devastating consequences of the pandemic.

Strategic assessment of reproductive health in the Dominican Republic. Population Council, 2002. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh2002.1003.
Full textAbstract:
This report documents the findings of a strategic assessment of reproductive health in the Dominican Republic (DR), carried out by the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (SESPAS) and the Dominican Social Security Institute with support from the Population Council’s Expanding Contraceptive Choice (ECC) program and its Latin American and Caribbean regional offices, and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The USAID/DR has been working closely with SESPAS to understand the major reproductive health problems in the DR. To better assist SESPAS and to plan the country’s Reproductive Health Strategy for 2002–2007, USAID asked the Population Council’s ECC program to conduct a strategic assessment of reproductive health in the DR. This participatory study was designed to identify strengths, prioritize problems, and work with community, governmental, and nongovernmental stakeholders to develop recommendations for strategic interventions to improve reproductive health in the DR.

District level baseline survey of family planning program in Uttar Pradesh: Nainital. Population Council, 1995. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1995.1011.
Full textAbstract:
In 1992, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the United States Agency for International Development, New Delhi, began the Innovations in Family Planning Services Project (IFPS) under the management of the State Innovation in Family Planning Services Agency (SIFPSA), Lucknow. The goal was to reduce the fertility rate in Uttar Pradesh by expanding and improving family planning (FP) services. To achieve this, the IFPS project will support service innovations in the public and nongovernmental sectors and through contraceptive social marketing mechanisms. The Baseline Survey in Uttar Pradesh (BSUP) is being undertaken as one important component of the IFPS project. The BSUP is designed to provide information on fertility, FP, and maternal and child health care that will be helpful in monitoring and evaluating population and family welfare policies and programs. SIFPSA has designated the Population Council as the nodal organization responsible for providing technical guidance for the survey. The Indian Institute of Health Management Research, Jaipur, will conduct the survey in the district of Nainital.

District level baseline survey of family planning program in Uttar Pradesh: Kanpur. Population Council, 1995. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/rh1995.1008.
Full textAbstract:
The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW) with financial support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has sponsored the Innovations in Family Planning Services Project (under the management of the State Innovations in Family Planning Services Agency, Lucknow). The project aims to reduce fertility through increasing accessibility, improving quality, and generating demand for family planning services. It attempts to achieve its objectives by supporting service innovations in the public and nongovernmental sector and through social marketing of contraceptives. These intervention strategies are expected to increase the couple protection rate of the state in general and of Kanpur Nagar in particular. One of the prerequisites is to carry out a baseline survey in selected districts of Uttar Pradesh. The BSUP is primarily a household survey with an overall target sample size of 37,000 ever married women ages 13–49 years. The Population Council has collaborated with a number of Indian Consulting Organizations (COs) for survey implementation. Each CO has carried out the survey in one or more districts. The baseline survey was initiated in 15 out of the state’s 63 districts. This report pertains to district Kanpur Nagar.
