INTRODUCTION
The concept of a citizenship refers to a political community that is being gained through
meeting certain legal requirements of a country, state or of a local government. Under citizenship
a person is granted with some privileges or rights in against of complying by the laws of such
nation. The healthcare is denoted with efforts that a professional from medical field makes to
restore the mental or the physical well-being of an individual (Ahmed and et. al., 2017). The
health citizenship or citizenship health care is stated as a knowledge of health which integrates
the balance of health related knowledge among people of a country. This integration is being
converted in a health actions like health care programs, planning, and policies of
communications. The present report includes a discussion upon certain social risks which are
being distributed to different groups, the kinds of organisation of healthcare welfare, the policies
of society, and many others. Lastly, the report talks about the forms of healthcare welfare
provisions that helps in the expression of particular healthcare values along with their relevance
in the conceptions of citizenship.
MAIN BODY
The social risks this form of welfare provision is intended to insure against, how these are
distributed among different groups, and ways in which they may be changing
The concept of social protection is being denoted with a combination of certain policies
or programs that are being designed to minimize social vulnerability & poverty. This is done
through promoting the efficient labour markets, reducing the risk exposure among people along
with enhancement in their potential with respect to self-protection in against of income loss or
hazards. The social risk involves a threat of social insurance, micro & area based schemes, child
protection and social assistance (Barnes‐Daly and et. al.., 2018).
Social Welfare policy
The policy of social welfare comprises of empowerment, healthcare, housing & different
other programs that are directed towards the assistance of poor, marginalized as well as the
unemployed peoples in society. These kinds of programs comprises of women, children and
infants, veteran program, aids for families along with their children, Medicaid and various
others. The policy of social welfare includes community, policy development and the
3

organisation, violence & victimization, system of care for family, children and elderly. This also
includes gender, race, class and the prevention for mental health. By learning the policy or by
complying with each healthcare rule a citizen can be able to determine their social welfare
policy. A citizen can also check their governmental regulations or the changes to the present
healthcare rules (Benetoli, Chen and Aslani, 2018).
A policy related to the social welfare can be contributed by a citizen through researching
or publishing upon the subjects that a person cares about, determining & indicating the scope in
which the policy is required to be drafted. Through developing communication with their
colleagues or working with high potential by volunteering the meetings of policy can be helpful
by citizen for themselves as well as for whole nation.
Social risk and their assessment or reduction measure
The social risk is being categorized into different groups that is poor, for households, for
public and private sectors.
In respect to the social risk that are associated with poor people it includes lifecycle,
economic, environmental and social risk as main categories. It includes risk of hunger, disability,
old age, death, end of livelihood sources, unemployment, economic crisis, low income, flood,
earthquake, drought, corruption, domestic violence, exclusion and the political instability.
In context to the households or the informal mechanisms this includes savings depletion,
extended family community support, and migration, debt, minimized consumption of essential
goods, maintaining the community networks, community pressures, etc.
The social risk can be reduced by public or private sector through providing health
nutrition services, protecting children, social assistance, providing fund to education & training,
promoting good governance & practices (Bonvicini, 2017). On the other hand the private sector
can reduce the social risks through providing life insurance, reinsurance, generating employment
or agricultural activities, providing micro finance to the poor sector through banks, activities of
CBOs and NGOs, etc.
Social protection priorities
It is highly important to protect the social risks of citizenship within all regions of
country in order to have better health care. A strategy which sets different parameters depended
upon the principles of minimizing poverty as well as the vulnerability can be helpful in
4

strengthening the nation’s focus through developing partnerships or alliances with private sector
and development agencies. This could be done by determining the nation’s needs for their
citizens in respect to effective health care, finding the available resources, collaborating with the
existing institutions and reforming the political economy of country (Burch, Rizzoli and Loder,
2018).
The form of organisation & delivery of particular welfare services of interest
The different forms of healthcare organisations are mentioned below with their service
interests:
 Hospitals: Hospitals are those who performs hard work to stay out of different types o0f
dangers or clinical emergency. As insurance organisations pay less amount of the
patients’ invoices & more clients are lining up in respect to medical care, it is harder &
harder now a days to earn a profit and provides large healthcare services to the patients.
One manner to reduce medical expenses without losing anything in context to patient's
care is with information technology outsourcing or social policy. They could be able to
handle huge responsibilities for client's data storage, security, backups, hardware &
software, as well as other costs. Through social policies a client can be able to have better
treatment and the well care for his or her health (Fikar and Hirsch, 2017). Doctors’ Clinics: A doctor might visit a patient at their home or a patient can visit
doctor's home or clinic in order to diagnose & treat the illness of their client. He or she
might also periodically analyse the home healthcare needs of patients on continuous
basis. They comes under private organisations who can charge some amount of money
for their services. Specialists’ Offices and Clinics: If a doctor practices is within a particular area of
medicine such as orthopaedic surgery, oncology, cardiovascular or could be any another
medical specialization, a doctor can take assistance form country's social policy in order
to treat patients more in context of services without having much expenses. The social
policy provider or an associates could establish a patient portal in which the patients
could log in, check their appointment times, schedule appointments, up-grade their billing
data, checking upon their insurance payments & even make payments via all online
5

channel. For patients who are already suffering from cancer or recovering from tier
surgery, this special treatment would be beneficial and helpful.
 Nursing Homes and assisted Living Facilities: Keeping the thought of valued patients
as well as residents secures is one of the numerous difficult dimensions of running a
home nursing & the assisted living services. With IT outsourcing or contribution of social
healthcare, a patient can stay 100% in HIPAA needs through having their data stores
safely & securely, along with shifting the responsibility in context to regular follow-ups
through such social healthcare associations (Mekaroonkamol and et. al.., 2019).
Aim of social health care policy
The social policy is related with the manners societies across the globe satisfies human
needs for security, health & well-being. Social policy represents how states as well as societies
responds to the international challenges of demographic, social as well as the economic change,
& of migration, poverty & globalisation. Social policy evaluates the various roles of country's
governments, civil society, the family, the market as well as the global level organisations in
offering the services & support throughout the life course that is right from childhood to old age.
Such services & the support comprises of child & family support, housing & neighbourhood
renewal, income maintenance as well as poverty reduction, unemployment support & the
training,health & social care, pensions and many more (Palumbo, 2017).
The main aim of social policy is to determine & analyse scope of minimizing inequalities
in respect to services as well as support among social groups that is sated by socio-economic
status, ethnicity, race, gender, migration status, disability, sexual orientation or age, that is within
as well as between countries.
The different objectives of social health care policy are mentioned below:
 The whole objective for social health policy is to develop the better conditions for good
& equitable health within the whole country's population, & to mitigate avoidable health
inequalities in a generation.
 The aim of narcotics, alcohol, doping & tobacco policy is to make a society free from
narcotics as well as from doping, with a precaution in medical & social harm which is
caused by alcohol or a degradation in the use of tobacco.
6

 The objective of society’s estimation as context to the addiction of gambling so to reduce
the hazardous effects of high gambling.
Significance of healthcare ideologies
As in any dimension of socio-economic reality, the ideological interpretations encourages
the understanding for matters to health as well as health policy. Ideologies clarifies &
compromises different issues. Though social movements, ideologies & the social researches is
related to every other in difficult way, & there is also a presence of innovative & creative
elements into this relationship. The ideologies could be in context to radical dominant & the
subordinate within the class societies as much of this is significant, by analogy, to the area of
health care. Different explanations to health care & ill-health are categorized as main focus by
social health policy. Whereas the capitalist socio economic firms has without any doubt had
unfavourable healthcare effects the capitalist societies are not in uniform or in differentiated as
Marxist evaluation. likewise, there is an exaggeration in healthcare description in respect to the
ills of healthcare industry (Paul, Chakraborty and Mandal, 2019). Though his dimension of the
medication of healthcare provides significance to determine how the ruling conception of
medicine as well as ideologies is dominant in between the health professionals communication to
develop institutions that is also in broader areas of health care. This helps in expressing the
physicians power & beneficial elites. This effects is specifically acute in citizenship societies. As
in regard to the problems & their achievements in healthcare of socialist citizenships such are
highly presented by rose coloured glasses, hence disturbing a real significant assessment of
different social healthcare policies for moving towards healthcare current situation organizing a
shift & contradiction, specifically with context to the ideas of 'political and citizenship will'.
The ways in which different forms of healthcare provision be express or produce particular
meaning & values
This context provides an overview of the integrated as well as cyclical procedure which
allows health care to be served based on to the patient requirements & the doctor's or hospital,s
scope of services. The health care procedure might occur among different hospitals or it might be
limited to specifically the healthcare institution itself. The difficulty of offering care, health
treatment & services by this procedure generally demands for the collaborative and the
7

interdisciplinary reach & a combined effort between such involved to co-ordinate healthcare in a
way which is conducive in context to optimal patient results, quality, & the safety (Rafferty and
et. al.., 2018).
The provision of healthcare treatment & services is comprises of four different essential
components within the healthcare process that is mentioned below:
Evaluating patients demands,
Planning healthcare treatment & services
Providing healthcare treatment & services
Co-ordinating effective healthcare treatment & services
Within the above mentioned essential processes, the healthcare activities indulges the
below mentioned aspects:
Assisting access to different levels of health care & disciplines significant to satisfy the
patient's requirements.
Services based on the plan of healthcare, comprising the awareness or instruction to patients
in respect to their healthcare treatment & services.
Co-ordinating healthcare to encourage continuity in last healthcare or at the time of patients
are categorized as discharged or transferred.
A large variety of employees & licensed independent doctors will act upon these
healthcare practices. Therefore, interaction, collaboration & co-ordination are the highly
essential work practices which should be practised to ensure effective healthcare treatment &
services must be provided at the effective level.
Social Stigma
The concept of social stigma refers to the disapproval of or discrimination in against of a
single or group basis upon perceivable social traits which serves to differentiate them from each
other within a society. The social stigmas are generally concerned to personal healthcare, gender,
culture, socio- economic class, race, ages, body image, sexual orientation, intelligence, as well as
the health. Stigma could also be in against of oneself, stemming within a unfavourable viewed
personal characteristics which results in a spoiled identity, though the suicidality is generally the
result of stigma, it is again a fact that stigma might be the result of suicidality. The individuals
who has created the suicide in their life are concerned to identical procedure of stigmatization &
8

social distancing, insurance policies comprises of an exclusion identity in against of death by
suicide and also suffers with bad health. Concerns with a personal expertise of depression as well
as the suicide highly endorses a thought of self-stigma. Those individuals who has attempted self
suicide are generally ashamed as well as embarrassed by their own behaviour & tends to hide the
action as much as they can (Rothenberger, 2017).
CONCLUSION
From the above report it can be concluded that healthcare and its awareness is highly
important for a nation as well as for its citizens. The health-care is an important element which a
country must focus upon. There are different typologies of health-care and are different with
each other. A social wealth policy helps associations or patients to be aware of their health rights
and different regulation of the country. There are different ways in which healthcare can be
treated or can be expressed. The significance of stigma plays a very important role in proper
healthcare treatment and service.
