Answer:
ANS.2 Governments play a major role in health care financing by mobilizing the necessary resources through public budgets and other contributive mechanisms, pooling resources allocated to health development, guiding the process of resource allocation and purchasing health services from various providers.
ANS.3 The public health service is a chain of health centres and hospitals run by the government. ... Private health facilities are not owned or controlled by the government. 2. It is meant to provide quality health care services either free or at a low cost, so that even the poor can seek treatment.
ANS.4 Communicable diseases, also known as infectious diseases or transmissible diseases, are illnesses that result from the infection, presence and growth of pathogenic (capable of causing disease) biologic agents in an individual human or other animal host.
ANS.5 Costa Rica, located in Central America between Nicaragua and Panama, is roughly the size of West Virginia with a population of a little less than 4 million. This tiny country contains 750 miles of coastline bordering the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans, the average temperature ranges from 70 to 90 degrees F, making it a prime location for a tropical vacation.
Tourism flourishes in Costa Rica and has quickly surpassed coffee and bananas as the top grossing national export (Bell, 1998). The people of Costa Rica enjoy one of the highest standards of living in the Southern Hemisphere, free health care and education, and the country has the highest literacy rate (98%) of all of the Americas. All of these things combine to make Costa Rica a well equipped community for handling tourism.
Costa Rica has virtually become the poster child for ecotourism as it is the most ecologically diverse country in the world, and environmental conservation is part of the national identity. Costa Rica contains 5% of the world's plant and animal species in only .035% of the earth's surface (Honey, 1999). In addition, close to 35% of the country is protected in some way, either through the National Parks System, biological reserves, and private wildlife preserves.
Although Costa Rica seems to be handling her tourism boom quite nicely, there are some very evident harmful impacts. Still, more than one third of the population is living below the poverty line and much of the tourism generated income is going home with foreign business owners (Blake &Becher, 1994).
