Securing financial support for addressing global health issues is vital in bringing about sustainable improvement in a population’s health status. Additionally, understanding a specific country’s health system allows for more practical and feasible implementation or proposed solutions to global health challenges.

Based on the population of South Africa, summarize the structure of the health system:

1. What are gaps in the system that may contribute to the spread of the selected disease?
2. Recommend a strategy for addressing the selected disease within the structure of the health system.
3. What are some options for financing your strategy internally and globally?

Length: 2–3 pages (excluding the cover page and reference list), double-spaced.

Technological advances have enabled media to provide near-instantaneous coverage from every corner of the world. This first became apparent during Operation Desert Shield in 1990, when the public was exposed to images of U.S. military operations in Kuwait and Iraq with minimal delay. The technology continued to evolve, and during Operations Iraqi Freedom in 2003 and Enduring Freedom in 2001, broadcasts were real-time, and many 24-hour news networks now existed. Images of violence such as suicide bombings and firefights inundated the daily lives of Americans. 

As you have already learned, terrorism depends on the ability to inspire fear. In the past, this influence was limited by an individual’s proximity to the event and word of mouth regarding the act. Today, although media outlets are rarely at the attack site during an attack, they usually broadcast the destruction that ensues. The media’s ability to report on these events increased the terrorists’ audience exponentially. Western media coverage has ironically created a false proximity that has proven to be effective at spreading fear to the masses.

For example, Spain’s decision to withdraw support for the Iraq War followed extensive media coverage of the Madrid train bombings. It has been said that the media coverage of the attack strongly influenced public opinion against the Iraq War to such an extent that government policy shifted. 

For this assignment, you are the public relations officer for the International Security and Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan. ISAF is the military command under the North Atlantic Treaty Organization responsible for security, stability, and reconstruction in Afghanistan. Your commander has indicated that the Taliban insurgents have been gaining in popularity primarily through their effective use of the media. He believes ISAF needs to develop a better relationship with the media to help mitigate the insurgents’ attempts to gain support and positive public sentiment through their media efforts.

You have been selected to lead the media campaign for ISAF. Through extensive liaison, you have been allowed to write 1 article that will run simultaneously in the major news publications throughout the United States, Europe, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

Your commander has given you the freedom to write what you feel is necessary, so long as it contains the following at a minimum:

Your supervisor, the president of a major nonprofit global health organization (you can use any of the ones mentioned in the PowerPoint), told you she wants to partner with an organization in the United States (do some research to identify one) to address a problematic health policy related to children’s health.

 

Your supervisor asks you to prepare a summary report showing: 

(1) Table of possible partner organizations, 

(2) description of each organization’s mission/vision/values/priorities, and 

(3) possible areas of collaboration related to children’s health.

 

Based on this summary report, select one of the organizations that seems most suitable, and write a formal letter to the select organization explaining to them why they should partner with your organization to tackle this issue.

The letter should include a description of the population and the health issue, how it relates to the other organization’s mission statement, the policy you want to change or enact, and the benefits of creating this partnership.

In order to earn full credit, this letter has to be persuasive.
