ETHICS AND STANDARD OF CONDUCT FOR NURSES
PART A
Q1) Five key components of a well-functioning health system as suggested by the World
Health Organization in 2010
A health system or a healthcare system is an association of individuals, resources and
associations that aims to provide healthcare services to come across the health essentials of
target populace. Quality, efficiency, equity and acceptability are some of the factors of the
well-functioning health system (Wager, et.al., 2017). Following are the five key components
of a well-functioning health system which responds in a controlled way to populaces’
essentials and expectations.
 Improving the well-being of individuals, families and communities.
 Protecting individuals against the financial consequences caused by health factors
 Supporting people to partake in decision influencing their health
 Equitable access to people-centric care
 Shielding populace against the factors that threaten health (WHO, 2010).
Q2) Macro and Micro approaches to the concept of health
Health care system systems are organized into three main levels, Micro-, Macro, &
Meso- respectively. These levels are segregated according to patient interaction level,
community level, and healthcare institutional level. Subsequent are the description of Macro
and Micro approaches to the concept of health.
Macro-level approach to health
The macro level approach to health concerns with the decisions made regarding
resource allocation, utilization of resource in a region, hospital or an organization. Resources
provided to healthcare are fragmented to several sections of healthcare such as insurance
companies, regional governments, and so on. This perspective reflects society. The macro
level perspective addresses the type of treatments and medications that would be useful to
cure to maintain the health of a population (McCormack, et. al., 2017).
Micro-level approach to health
