who have fought with Covid, and they survived then it is very important for them that they must get good health care services so that they

Covid 19 and Brexit
 • Brexit has serious implication on the health care sector of entire UK, which is totally
dependent on European Union for the entire workplace and suppliers.

made to protect people from the shortage of health care staff, medicine and other health care
equipment.

International and global context:
 Global health refers to the prevention on the population level and it is essential for maintaining global health safety and security.
 Global health care is very important as their main aim is to improvise health of people throughout the glob.
 Global health is an umbrella term which cover all the healthcare so that they may provide quality services, and in the scenario of Covid
19, this disease spread all over the glob.
 International health and various healthcare believes that all the health care of the entire glob should focus on providing effective services
to the customers so that they do not have to face difficulties.

Conti..
 In the international context it is important that all the countries must share technology and equipments which is necessary to fight with
covid. As this crisis states that there are many big organization available who are providing heath care services, but they have faced many
down turns in the technology.
 So the international context it has been seen that there are various big organizations available who provide funding and donations to small
health care organizations so that they can run effectively, and they may provide quality services to the patients.

Nationals
 • Stakeholders are those who have keen interest in the organization and its working.
 • The major stakeholders of healthcare are patients, physicians, employees, insurance companies and government.
 • Regulatory bodies also play a vital role in the organization as their main objective is to protect the interest of patients and
provide them better services so that they can save their lives and survive for long.

Conti..
 • On the other hand government is also an important stakeholder as there are much health care present which gets funding
and rebate from government. Along with government provides various grants to some heath cares so that they can purchase advanced
technology and tools.
 • National media also plays a great role in the overall development of health care. As this the main objective of national
media to disclose all the information which is being hidden by the organization and which is necessary for people to know.
 •So it is the responsibility of national media that they find out the truth and present it towards the nation.

Recommendations
 After analysing the entire report it has been recommended that at present all the major heath care organizations are
facing huge problem,
 As they are not having proper tools and equipments so that they can fight with covid but the health care sectors are
going their best to save the lives of patients.
 It has been recommended that the government should avoid Brexit for some time, and they should tell health care to
give the best treatment to all people in the entire world.
 Besides this, another recommendation will be that all the regulatory bodies should keep0 en eye on the activities of
heath care so that no one can take undue advantage of patient and their situation.

Conti..
 • Along with this, the major responsibility of regulatory body is to make sure that all the rules and regulations have been
followed by the health care organization. So it is being recommended that the regulatory bodies must prepare some new rules and
policies, and they should regulate that all the policies and rules should strictly follow by health cares.
 • On the other hand the major stakeholder of heath care is their employees because they are the one who provide services to
patients and treat them effectively so the patients can get rid of their disease.
 • It is the moral responsibility of employees that they must share all the necessary information to their patient sand
especially those which is necessary for them.
