GCH 205 October 30, y Understanding The world is made up so many different places with so many different cultures and religions and ethnicity's. The vastly different populations of the world live their lives according to their cultural and spiritual environment of specific regions in which their population exist. Although populations differ vastly they all have one common goal and thats to survive. The most important factor to survival of their people is the implementation of some form of health care system to ensure the well being of their people and ultimately the survival of their people. Because the world is so different in so many ways people tend to have different views and perceptions about their particular health care system others. Some health care problems may be consider important to their survival and others may be not. The person I chose to interview for this assignment I felt would help to increase my knowledge about foreign health care systems and the factors that directly influenced the way their specific cultures way of practicing medicine, and the affects of peoples social economics status on the quality of their health care experience within that part of the world.

was at higher level of society in India. Nisha lived half of her life India where she attended college and attained two masters degrees from the University of Delhi. After finishing school in India she immigrated to the United States of America. The process of gaining her citizenship was taking far longer then expected so she enlisted in the US Army as means to speed up the process of attaining her citizenship and further her education. To initiate the interview I begin by asking Nisha what was the worst infectious disease she and her family experienced while growing up in India. She begin by saying that she really hates mosquitos and have a deep fear of a certain kind of mosquito the tiger mosquito. She told the that the worst disease she and her family experienced was Dengue Fever. Deng fever is similar to malaria and is delivered by the tiger mosquito but unlike malaria their is no preventable vaccine for this viral infections. I asked nisha what would happen when she or some one in her family would get sick. she begin to explain to me that her family. depending in the servility of the case where being acute care of chronic care would determine the specific means of dealing with the illness. she told that her family don't believe in administering medacine and that the use of natural herbal supplements from the earth to deal with most illness. but when all of the herbal supplements failed they would consult the means of a physician. Because of their social economics status she or her family members would never have to leave here house to seek medical attention. Her family would have the doctor come to their home.

nishas experience with the health care system in America in her opinion was not of same quality as the health care she recieacd back home in India, because of the lack of natural herbs and certain plants that could on be found and in her home country and the remedies to heal the body could only be practiced by members of her family with the experienced and knowledge of her culture. she had to abandon her old practice and rely on the American way of practicing Medicine which involved pills and over the counter medicines which in her opinion made her body immune system weaker and more susceptible to infections and disease. This assignment has increased my knowledge about other countries and their beliefs in the way medicine should be practiced. i learned that people have a many different ways in caring for their sick. i believe that after conducting this interview it has opened my mind to explore medicine a different way i will begin to do research on ways of practicing medicine the natural way and using herbal supplements to heal the body and not to rely on dugs to rid my boy of illness. this assignment has brought me closer to my good fielded who I've the honor of serving in the army with to become much closer in our friendship because of my understanding of her culture and their perspective of certain thing
