Week 5: Journal

I found that that Week 5 was a very interesting week because we were able to go even in more depth into the needs of the people who have access to different clinics. I liked building on last week’s assignment by breaking down the users and needs further. I think that this gave me a better understanding as to what are the different situations people could face.

What I understood from this assignment was that different facilities provide different levels of care, meaning that people will be able to get basic care from somewhere like the Francis Nelson clinic, a choice that is more affordable. But should they need more advance treatment options they will be able to go to a large hospital like Carle. This is also similar to the videos that described the facilities in Africa.

I think that with more people understanding how important health care is, there are more people whoa re sponsoring hospitals with the equipment, supplies and technology that is required to run a successful and reliable environment. With that being said, it is really important to spread this message so that people in all communities know that they have options and they should look out for them so they can get the level of care and attention that they need.
