This book was released on 2022-11-16 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Project Report in the subject Leadership and Human Resources - Leadership, , language: English, abstract: The overall objective of this study is to assess the level of job satisfaction among the workers of the Koforidua Regional Hospital. To achieve this broad objective, the following specific objectives have been formulated: To determine the extent to which staffs are satisfied with job performed and duties. To establish if the work itself, recognition, opportunity for growth, and working conditions determine job satisfaction in the hospital. To establish the extent to which participation in decision-making affects the level of job satisfaction among staff of the hospital. To assess the relationship between job dissatisfaction and output among staff of the hospital. The work environment has changed greatly over time in response to the advancement of technology and the world becoming a global village. In the traditional work environment, employees were employed and every decision taken for them, while they had to obey the instructions of their superiors. Today, this is being replaced with greater employee involvement in order to increase an effective workforce and productivity. Khainga (2005) in her study on job satisfaction and organization commitment, noted that this major shift from being docile recipients of instructions to being part of the decision-making process has affected the level of employee participation, making and degree of satisfaction and commitment. Secondly, the employee today is more literate and empowered and more inclined to be heard. There is much documentary evidence that involvement in the decision-making process among staff leads to employee commitment, decreased absenteeism and reduced employee turnover. It ensures committed staff and stable workforce, which reduce cost of recruitment and training. Despite all these provisions that increase organisational efficiency, Koforidua Regional Hospital seems to have a gap in terms of highly qualified personnel to deliver on the mission and the vision of the hospital as a result of job unsatisfaction. This practice has led to dissatisfaction of services delivered to clients of the hospital.

Download or read book The World Health Report 2006 written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2006-03-23 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2006 World Health Report focuses on the chronic shortages of doctors, midwives, nurses and other health care support workers in the poorest countries of the world where they are most needed. This is particularly true in sub-Saharan Africa, which has only four in every hundred global health workers but has a quarter of the global burden of disease, and less than one per cent of the world's financial resources. Poor working conditions, high rates of attrition due to illness and migration, and education systems that are unable to pick up the slack reflect the depth of the challenges in these crisis countries. This report considers the challenges involved and sets out a 10-year action plan designed to tackle the crisis over the next ten years, by which countries can strengthen their health system by building their health workforces and institutional capacity with the support of global partners.

Download or read book Countering the Problem of Falsified and Substandard Drugs written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-06-20 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The adulteration and fraudulent manufacture of medicines is an old problem, vastly aggravated by modern manufacturing and trade. In the last decade, impotent antimicrobial drugs have compromised the treatment of many deadly diseases in poor countries. More recently, negligent production at a Massachusetts compounding pharmacy sickened hundreds of Americans. While the national drugs regulatory authority (hereafter, the regulatory authority) is responsible for the safety of a country's drug supply, no single country can entirely guarantee this today. The once common use of the term counterfeit to describe any drug that is not what it claims to be is at the heart of the argument. In a narrow, legal sense a counterfeit drug is one that infringes on a registered trademark. The lay meaning is much broader, including any drug made with intentional deceit. Some generic drug companies and civil society groups object to calling bad medicines counterfeit, seeing it as the deliberate conflation of public health and intellectual property concerns. Countering the Problem of Falsified and Substandard Drugs accepts the narrow meaning of counterfeit, and, because the nuances of trademark infringement must be dealt with by courts, case by case, the report does not discuss the problem of counterfeit medicines.

Download or read book Human resources for medical devices the role of biomedical engineers written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2017-05-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication addresses the role of the biomedical engineer in the development, regulation, management, training, and use of medical devices. The first part of the book looks at the biomedical engineering profession globally as part of the health workforce: global numbers and statistics, professional classification, general education and training, professional associations, and the certification process. The second part addresses all of the different roles that the biomedical engineer can have in the life cycle of the technology, from research and development, and innovation, mainly undertaken in academia; the regulation of devices entering the market; and the assessment or evaluation in selecting and prioritizing medical devices (usually at national level); to the role they play in the management of devices from selection and procurement to safe use in healthcare facilities. The annexes present comprehensive information on academic programs, professional societies, and relevant WHO and UN documents related to human resources for health as well as the reclassification proposal for ILO. This publication can be used to encourage the availability, recognition, and increased participation of biomedical engineers as part of the health workforce, particularly following the recent adoption of the recommendations of the UN High-Level Commission on Health Employment and Economic Growth, the WHO Global Strategy on Human Resources for Health, and the establishment of national health workforce accounts. The document also supports the aim of reclassification of the role of the biomedical engineer as a specific engineer that supports the development, access, and use of medical devices within the national, regional, and global occupation classification system.

Download or read book Contemporary Issues in African Sciences and Science Education written by Akwasi Asabere-Ameyaw and published by Brill / Sense. This book was released on 2012 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this careful articulation of science, the editors provide an intellectual marriage of Indigenous science and science education in the African context as a way of revising schooling and education. They define science broadly to include both the science of the natural/physical/biological and the 'science of the social'. It is noted that the current policy direction of African education continues to be a subject of intense intellectual discussion. Science education is very much at the heart of much current debates about reforming African schooling. Among the ways to counter-vision contemporary African education this book points to how we promote Indigenous science education to improve upon African science and technology development in general. The book also notes a long-standing push to re-examine local cultural resource knowings in order to appreciate and understand the nature, content and context of Indigenous knowledge science as a starting foundation for promoting African science and technology studies in general. It is argued that these interests and concerns are not mutually exclusive of each other but as a matter of fact interwoven and interdependent. The breadth of coverage of the collection reflect papers in science, Indigeneity, identity and knowledge production and the possibilities of creating a truly African-centred education. It is argued that such extensive coverage will engage and excite readers on the path of what has been termed 'African educational recovery'. While the book is careful in avoiding stale debates about the 'Eurocentricity of Western scientific knowledge' and the positing of 'Eurocentric science' as the only science worthy of engagement, it nonetheless caution against constructing a binary between Indigenous/local science and knowledges and Western 'scientific' knowledge. After all, Western scientific knowledge is itself a form of local knowledge, born out of a particular social and historical context. Engaging science in a more global context will bring to the fore critical questions of how we create spaces for the study of Indigenous science knowledge in our schools. How is Indigenous science to be read, understood and theorized? And, how do educators gather/collect and interpret Indigenous science knowledges for the purposes of teaching young learners. These are critical questions for contemporary African education?
