People's health is very different in other parts of the world. Health problems are different and health systems are different. People living in separate countries are in very different positions depending on where they live: in rich or poor countries, in developed or developing countries. In this assignment I will write a presentation of the healthcare systems in three different countries: Finland, the United Kingdom and Ethiopia. The United Kingdom represents a developed country while Ethiopia is a developing country. Finland is a country in Northern Europe. In 2012, the Finnish population was 5.4 million people and annual population growth is close to 0% (World Bank 2013). In 2012 the population increased by 25,407 people and 87% of these spoke a foreign language as their mother tongue (Tilastokeskus 2013). Life expectancy in Finland is 77 years among men and 84 years among women (World Bank 2013). The United Kingdom in Western Europe is made up of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. In 2012 the UK population was 63.2 million people and annual population growth is approximately 1% (World Bank 2013). Life expectancy in the UK is 79 years among men and 83 years among women (World Bank 2013). Around 1/5 of people in the UK will be aged 65 or over by 2030 (European Observatory on Health Systems and Policy 2013). There has been a lot of immigration to the UK for a long time in history, and today there are many different cultures in the country (Ulkoasiainministeriö 2013). Ethiopia is Africa's oldest independent state and one of the poorest countries in the world. In 2012, Ethiopia's population was 91.7 million people, and annual population growth is approximately 3%. Life expectancy in Ethiopia is 61 years... middle of the paper... not to get rid of it. Old age and the elderly are not as respected in Western cultures, as in some neighboring communities, where people care for each other and respect life experience. How does this affect our happiness in life? In any case, with our modern knowledge of healthcare, highly educated healthcare professionals, well-developed healthcare systems, skills, opportunities, medicines, vaccinations and prevention reaching all citizens, we have reduced the number of diseases, improved health and they extended life. Scientific knowledge, the right information and know-how are the things we should give to those who don't have it. Working methods for disease treatment and prevention should be shared with developing countries, in terms of culture, living conditions, needs, wealth and opportunities, so that their resources can be used effectively.
