Mid-East Hospital Mngmnt.

In many Third World and/or developing countries, providing quality, medical care to the many individuals in need is often woefully inadequate. Often, the main problems are a lack of trained health care workers (including physicians, surgeons, nurses and others), a lack of equipment and sanitary, modern facilities, a lack of proper training and education among current health care personnel and, as is especially true in countries like Yemen, poor hospital or health care facility management:

Hospitals and health centers in urban areas are overstaffed, yet there are shortages of doctors and other health workers in rural areas and not enough money for supplies, drugs and equipment and maintenance. The physical conditions with hospitals and health centers fall below levels of acceptability. It is common to find broken water and sewerage systems. A recent report on diagnostic services indicated that not a single laboratory in Yemen meets basic international standards. It is no exaggeration to state that in the current conditions in hospitals it is almost impossible to practice good medicine and to provide modern standards of care. Some of the problems are caused by a lack of funding, but perhaps 50% of what little there is available is lost through theft, wastage and inefficiency attributable to poor management. There needs to be radical change.

The PFP works with the Yemeni people and health care personnel in order to help train them, help them manage health care facilities and to supply much needed equipment, supplies and educational materials such as textbooks and training videos. In Yemen in particular, but like many developing countries, there are many more people in need of health care per health care professional so the management of these hospitals and care facilities is in need of continual expansion and improvement. These types of health care efforts which are more focused on practice than on operations and management are crucial in the coordinated effort to improve management on a local or district basis, because without the proper training, education and equipment and supplies all the management in the world will not improve the level of health care. Nonetheless, major efforts are underway where hospital management is concerned. For example, the Minister of Health in
