Abstract

Background: Health is influenced by numerous factors that affect the health service system and health status of the people in every country. This article aims to compare the determinants of the health service system and the health status of the people in Thailand, the Lao PDR, Vietnam, and Cambodia; and to recommend policies that impact the population's health and the country's development. Methods: A comprehensive search of the literature from a variety of online search and academic databases, and synthesis of previous study was used in this paper. Data on country indicators were taken from published online databases of the Ministry of Public Health of Cambodia, Lao PDR, Thailand,and Vietnam; the World Health Organization, and the World Bank.

Results: In Thailand, the determinants of the health service system and health status of the people are medical information and technology because of the government initiatives to improve the quality of healthcare services through the use of modern technology. In Vietnam, the society and culture, and the strengths and weaknesses of the hospital significantly affect the health status and health service system there because of the religious beliefs of the people. However, in Cambodia, the strengths and weaknesses of the hospital are the primary determinant of the health service system and health status of the people due to the condition of the hospitals, the availability of new medical devices, and the number of healthcare professionals. In the Lao PDR, trade and investment, and medical information and technology, significantly influence the health service system and health status of the people because of the government efforts to outsource capital expenditures and medical technology.

Conclusion: The strengths and weaknesses of the hospital are the key determinants of the health service system and health status of the people in all GMS countries. Understanding the determinants of health is essential in order to develop policies and programs that impact the population's health and the country's development.

大湄公河次区域(GMS)卫生服务体系决定因素与居民健康状况比较
背景:健康受到许多因素的影响,这些因素影响着每个国家的卫生服务体系和人们的健康状况。本文旨在比较泰国、老挝人民民主共和国、越南和柬埔寨卫生服务体系和人民健康状况的决定因素;并提出影响人口健康和国家发展的政策建议。方法:综合检索各种在线检索和学术数据库的文献,并综合前人的研究成果。国家指标数据取自柬埔寨、老挝人民民主共和国、泰国和越南公共卫生部公布的在线数据库;世界卫生组织和世界银行结果:在泰国,卫生服务系统和人民的健康状况的决定因素是医疗信息和技术,因为政府的举措,以提高医疗服务质量,通过使用现代技术。在越南,由于人们的宗教信仰,社会文化和医院的优缺点对那里的健康状况和卫生服务体系有很大的影响。然而,在柬埔寨,由于医院的条件、新医疗设备的可用性和医疗保健专业人员的数量,医院的优势和劣势是卫生服务系统和人民健康状况的主要决定因素。在老挝人民民主共和国,由于政府努力将资本支出和医疗技术外包,贸易和投资以及医疗信息和技术对卫生服务系统和人民的健康状况产生了重大影响。结论:医院的优势和劣势是决定GMS国家卫生服务体系和人民健康状况的关键因素。了解健康的决定因素对于制定影响人口健康和国家发展的政策和方案至关重要。
