Health

The north/the south divide in health implies the difference between the production of health services in developed countries, which are in the north divide and the developing countries which are in the south divide. The provision of health services in the two divides is different, thus leading to major differences between these countries (Mphande, 2016). The north divide consists of countries which are able to provide healthcare services without any problems at all. On the other hand, the south divide consists of countries which face a lot of challenges in the provision of healthcare services.

The leadership of developing countries can take a lot of steps in ensuring the provision of healthcare services becomes easy (Mphande, 2016). The first step can be through the provision of mobile clinics. Mobile clinics can be very effective, due to the issues of poor transport and infrastructure in developing countries. A mobile clinic can move from one area to another, thus ensuring the provision of healthcare becomes smooth, particularly in areas where there are no hospitals.

Secondly, the government through the ministry of health can reach people through workshops, whereby people will be taught on how to conduct first aid, in case of a health problem. In addition, the workshops will also teach the society on the importance of seeking medical advice (Mphande, 2016). Finally, most people will be able to see the need to seeking medical advice, in addition, they will also be able to provide assistance to the sick through first aid, before reaching the hospital. In general the developing countries will be able to provide medical support to most people through the mobile clinics and the workshop, hence improving the health of the nation.
