Establishing Universal Standard of Healthcare
Category: Healthcare | Strength: Significant
Proposing Nation: Kravonija
Draft 07092020-1
The General Assembly,
Knowing that members and non members of the World Assembly maintain a standard of care appropriate to their nation and region.
Concerned that the standard of care may differ between nations in the following ways;
Terminology.
Diagnostic and Treatment.
Clinical Practice.
Such variances decrease the quality of care from a lack of continuity in the medical field resulting in preventable further injury or death.
Believing that a single, universal standard would resolve this situation,
Noting that the purpose is not to establish universal healthcare but to define a common language within the medical field.
Convinced that the World Health Authority (“WHA”) is suited to establish and enforce health standards as per GAR#31.
Seeking to implement a universal standard of healthcare (“universal standard”) with practical and national sovereignty concerns:
I. Requires the WHA to establish a council of expert medical professionals to review medical publications before approving it for use as a universal standard.
II. Requires Medical terminology to have Latin origin in cases of international collaboration.
a. Defining “Terminology” to be the body of terms used with a particular technical application in a subject of study or profession.
b. Clarifying that nations operating inside their borders, without transfer of care to another nation, shall be except from this clause.
III. Mandates a minimum clinical experience hours to be set for all types of medical professionals.
a. Establishes the minimum for licensure requirements, ensuring successful practice and gain of experience in the field.
b. Clarifying that individual nations may impose additional requirements for medical personnel.
IV. Requires the WHA to establish and maintain a central database of blood types and their similarities.
V. Requires the WHA to establish and maintain a comprehensive database of medications detailing.
a. Indications
b. Contraindications
c. Composition
d. Origin

f. Mortality

a. Anatomy
b. Biology
c. Chemistry
d. Psychology
e. Gynaecology
f. Obstetrics
g. Paediatrics

i. Neurology
VII. Mandates WHA to create and maintain a central database of treatments from various member nations and indication of WHA approval.
VIII. Mandates the WHA to assist with training, education, and continuing of medical professionals to adhere to changes in the universal standard.
IX. Requires WHA created databases to be regularly maintained and accessible to member nations with the purpose of;
a. Education
b. Treatment
c. Research
d. Diagnosis
X. Encourages nations to share and contribute to research in order to improve the quality of care in the universal standard.
XI. Emphasises that Individual nations medical care system is not adversely impacted by the universal standard but imposes a set minimum of care, guaranteeing patient care is uniform, peer-reviewed, and approved throughout WA members.
XII. Guaranteeing that individual nations medical research is not restricted or penalised by the WHA in regards to contributing to the universal standard unless in instances of gross breach of an active General Assembly Resolution.
XIII. Requires WHA and it’s division and organisations to adhere to the universal standard
XIV. Preserves the right for individual nations to impose a higher standard of care.
XV. Requires that any nation choosing to impose a higher standard of care must do so without contradicting the Universal Standard and breaching active General Assembly Resolutions.
