HAFANI HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS

Hafani Mission Prologue:

We are here to serve! We are here to save lives. We are poised to re-invent the pristine principles of “being our brothers and sisters keepers”. That is our motivation! It's our priority to work closely with the community we live in and earn our living so as to create a mutually beneficial local relationship while providing the necessary resources to expand essential healthcare services, professional care and technology. It has been the ultimate objective of this team of dedicated research scientists to have a holistic perspective of health both in theory and in practice. Thus we started off the first TRIPARTITE CONSULTATIONS in world history, whereby a patient is seen contemporaneously by three specialists in the triangular prism of health care delivery, viz: the PHYSICAL. SOCIAL and MENTAL dimensions or levels  of optimum health that each person is entitled to. It may be difficult to attain, but we have been doing it for a decade now. All it costs us is HUMANITARIAN PRINCIPLES that ignore capitalist orientations. We are doctors without borders; no social class nor religious compartmentalisation is our motto!

A single voice can change the world. Whether the voice describes a new scientific theory, tells the stories of a culture or speaks for a previously voiceless group of people, it can reach across national borders and across time to influence a wider world and transform the world that follows. The 20th century is nearing an end. Great changes have occurred in the past 100 years, so that science, art, politics and society, as they approach the year 2000, are markedly different than they were in 1900. Powerful ideas, such as non-violent political protest and the theory of the unconscious—developed by unique thinkers such as Mohandas Gandhi of India and Sigmund Freud of Austria—have altered humanity, increased understanding between individuals and cultures and helped define our present world. 1]

The voices of all the patriotic health professionals and friends of Dr J. K. Danmbaezue who are the foundation members of this interdisciplinary team are being added in this millennium in the areas of Human/Social Medicine and Psychometrics in finding Alternative Management

Strategies for Halting the pandemic of HIV-AIDS, by Re-education of the Youths through Pre-Marital counselling  and Existential Family Therapeutics. We need your intellectual, moral and financial support to translate these objectives into meaningful and practicable programmes to benefit the less-informed masses that pro-create profusely in the hinterlands of our nations in Sub-Saharan Africa for now, and later to all the developing nations of the world!             

******** Mission Statement of Danmbaezue J. K. (11th March 2001) ***************

HAFANI IS HUMANITRIAN PRIVATE NOT-FOR-PROFIT COMMUNITY BASED NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION

Health care providers are institutions or individuals providing health care services. Individuals including health professionals and allied health professions can be self-employed or working as an employee in a hospital, clinic, or other health care institution, whether government operated, private for-profit, or private not-for-profit (e.g. non-governmental organization). They may also work outside of direct patient care such as in a government health department or other agency, medical laboratory, or health training institution. Examples of health workers are doctors, nurses, midwives, paramedics, dentists, medical laboratory technologists, therapists, psychologists, pharmacists, chiropractors, optometrists, community health workers, traditional medicine practitioners, and others.

[edit] Financial resources

There are generally five primary methods of funding health systems:^[8]

1.                 general taxation to the state, county or municipality

2.                 social health insurance

3.                 voluntary or private health insurance

4.                 out-of-pocket payments

5.                 donations to charities

Most countries' systems feature a mix of all five models. One study ^[9] based on data from the OECD concluded that all types of health care finance "are compatible with" an efficient health system. The study also found no relationship between financing and cost control.

The term health insurance is generally used to describe a form of insurance that pays for medical expenses. It is sometimes used more broadly to include insurance covering disability or long-term nursing or custodial care needs. It may be provided through a social insurance program, or from private insurance companies. It may be obtained on a group basis (e.g., by a firm to cover its employees) or purchased by individual consumers. In each case premiums or taxes protect the insured from high or unexpected health care expenses.

By estimating the overall cost of health care expenses, a routine finance structure (such as a monthly premium or annual tax) can be developed, ensuring that money is available to pay for the health care benefits specified in the insurance agreement. The benefit is typically administered by a government agency, a non-profit health fund or a corporation operating seeking to make a profit.^[10]

Many forms of commercial health insurance control their costs by restricting the benefits that are paid by through deductibles, co-payments, coinsurance, policy exclusions, and total coverage limits and will severely restrict or refuse coverage of pre-existing conditions. Many government schemes also have co-payment schemes but exclusions are rare because of political pressure. The larger insurance schemes may also negotiate fees with providers.

Many forms of social insurance schemes control their costs by using the bargaining power of their community they represent to control costs in the health care delivery system. For example by negotiating drug prices directly with pharmaceutical companies, or negotiating standard fees with the medical profession. Social schemes sometimes feature contributions related to earnings as part of a scheme to deliver universal health care, which may or may not also involve the use of commercial and non-commercial insurers. Essentially the more wealthy pay proportionately more into the scheme to cover the needs of the relatively poor who therefore contribute proportionately less. There are usually caps on the contributions of the wealthy and minimum payments that must be made by the insured (often in the form of a minimum contribution, similar to a deductible in commercial insurance models).

In addition to these traditional health care financing methods, some lower income countries and development partners are also implementing non-traditional or innovative financing mechanisms for scaling up delivery and sustainability of health care, such as micro-contributions, public-private partnerships, and market-based financial transaction taxes. For example, as of June 2011, UNITAID had collected more than one billion dollars from 29 member countries, including several from Africa, through an air ticket solidarity levy to expand access to care and treatment for HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria in 94 countries.^[11]
