Summary on Improving Access to Malarial Healthcare by Eliminating Bureaucracy in Healthcare

Introduction

Over the years, it has been a planned initiative to improve the care and treatment of the patients, who are suffering from malaria, where successful malaria treatment and care is effective to provide proper treatment and quality support to the people in Nigeria. The study focuses on discussing in mitigating bureaucracy and improving the access of malaria treatment for social development. The study discusses the reduction of user fees which is effective initiative, where the people can access the health care service for living a healthy life. In this regard, bureaucracy refers to the non-elected government officials and administrative policy making group in the country, where the decisions are taken by state officials rather that the elected representatives. There is serious influence of bureaucracy in the health and social care system, in Nigeria, in innumerable ways including slow growth in health care, lack of quality in providing health, slow problem solving and decision making phase, discouraging innovation and diverting huge amount of time in politicking and working the system. In this regard, it has been found that, the health care professionals such as doctors, nurses and GPs, and other staff at the hospitals in Nigeria are engaged with many paper works during serving the patients and they concentrate on paper work and formalities rather than developing effective care plan for treating the patients, suffered from malaria. It deteriorates the quality of treatment and care and it is necessary for the health and social care professionals to reduce this bureaucracy of routine work, where the patients care needs to be maximised through delivering the quality care rather than concentrating on paperwork. Here, the NHS focuses on paperless health care provisions to improve efficiency of providing suitable health and social care treatment irrespective of focusing on the unnecessary paper works in the UK as compared to the practice in Nigeria, and it further provides a scope to improve the capacity of the social workers and health professionals to treat the patients with quality care and efficient treatment (Kosack, Page & Klatser, 2017). In the medication system, the smart device has been launched to store and manage the computerised data and NHS recently focuses on managing the data in order to resolve the issue of long waiting time and patient mismanagement and it in turn improves the quality of health and social care service (Brunette, 2017). The activities such as increasing the numbers of efficient suppliers who can manage the availability of drugs, awards, laboratory and equipment, managing the behaviour and attitude of the health care providers while serving the patients, managing timeline of the service providers, so that the waiting time of the patients can be resolved well and enhancing fair treatment by appointing experienced and efficient care professionals including doctors and nurses, so that the malaria patients in Nigeria can get the public and private facilities including qualified personnel, availability of drugs and laboratory services, are effective to mitigate the challenges of routine work regulatory bureaucracy including lack of services available, inequality and poor quality of care (Hopkins & Cunningham, 2019). In this regard, the study is effective to evaluate the activities that improves the quality of care and treatment in the context of serving the patients, who are suffering from malaria in Nigeria, where the report focuses on proximity to patients, lower cost of services, positive manner of providers, and timeliness of services and availability of medicines to eliminate routine work bureaucracy and deliver quality health care service to the patients.
