POLICIES, POWER AND POLITICS 3
Introduction
The term paper presented is based on the advocacy of the current health policy which has
been formulated by the non-governmental organization situated in South Korea due to
continuous health challenges. The advocacy for the new health policy has been a major challenge
in the country as practice of the policy by the government has become challenging due to the
financial requirement (Abel-Smith, 2016).
Red Cross organization based in Donghae in central province of South Korea is advocating
for the provision of the cholera vaccines to the people residing around the city. The Red Cross
society organization deals with the emergency health issues in the area like an outbreak of
diseases or occurrence which threatens the lives of the residents of the central province of South
Korea (Ali, et al, 2017).
The objectives of the organization that is Red Cross organization is to ensure better living
standard of people in the central province that is Donghae town since they are neglected by the
national government of South Korea. To ensure better living of the residents of Donghae city
thus central province, the organization has implemented some of the health policies for the
residents of the region like creating awareness to the people about some infections which often
affect the residents by providing some of the prevention measures or the predisposing factor
(Arnold, 2017).
To eradicate some of the common diseases causing organisms in the area is also an objective
of the Red Cross organization. The organization's main agenda for the people living in the central
provision of South Korea is to ensure that they completely eradicate some common disease-

causing organism in the area which has imposed a health problem in the area and even resulted
to the loss of lives to the victims when not properly treated (Azman, et al, 2016).
Eradication of the disease-causing organism in the area is only possible through community
participation in the process by embracing and putting into practice some of the formulated health
activities like maintaining cleanliness in their homes, using mosquito treated nets to prevent and
control malaria cases in the area and also building of the pit latrines in their homes and schools
and practicing personal hygiene which are the predisposing factors of most infections affecting
members of the community (Breurec, et al,2016).
The values of the Red Cross society based in the central province of South Korea is the
service to the community for better health care provision. The slogan that is Service to the
community has been the driving force for the volunteers to offer their support to the members of
the community so as to meet the set organization's objectives of ensuring better living to
members of the society (Snyder & Ravi, 2018).
Provision of the cholera vaccines policy by the local government is in line with the
organization's values and objectives due to frequent cholera outbreak cases during the rainy
season which always claims many lives (Riggirozzi, 2016).
