Conclusion:
There are communities in the country who do not have an accessible health care service
which result to poor health and lifestyle of an individual, family, and even community as a
whole. Government and even non-government officials play a vital role when it comes to health
aspect of a community. As stated on the study of Tang et. al. (2004), there were different roles of
the government that should be done in relation to health care aspect such as provide health care,
ensure access and monitor the quality of health care especially to vulnerable populations,
develop the healthcare workers, and etc. In Philippines, concerns regarding access to quality
health care should give an attention by the government and non-governments officials and
address related issues. The story of Rosario is just one of the situations that people living in poor
and marginalized area are experiencing.
The story of Rosario depicts the life of poor and marginalized community when it comes
to accessing healthcare services. Different factors affect their ability to consult and got to
healthcare facilities when having a disease such as financial status, accessibility of healthcare
facilities and availability of resources that can be afford by poor communities. Rosario’s family
was not able to get a quality healthcare service, primarily because of their economic status. In the
healthcare field, it is important to give attention to people who seeks medical attention,
unfortunately, some people can’t afford to have a quality healthcare service and the family of
Rosario are just one of them. Even though that their family wants to seek medical attention due
to their current conditions, one thing that stopping them are the expenses they will spend once
they consult with healthcare professionals reason why they will just choose not to go to check
their conditions which may worsen due to lack of action to prevent and treat their illnesses. The
story showed me that not all family or even community are privileged enough to provide for a
quality healthcare service due to different factors and of these is their economic status. Programs
that prioritize the poor people must be done and promote by the leaders to improve the health of
the population in our country. One of the ways to help people cope up with their condition is the
duty of nurses to guide and help them in facing their health problems, one of it is through
creating an effective nursing care plans wherein it will be attainable and effective for the patient
considering their status and capabilities. In making a nursing care plan, it should be specific,
measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound for the client to achieve their goals. Nursing
care plans plays an important role in achieving wellness of an individual and it is the duty of
nurses to provide this plan for their patient which can be done in either independent and
collaborative way. Everyone deserves to be treated fairly and must be given the right to access a
quality healthcare services no matter what status they have in life because life is important and
precious that it should be taken care well. The story of Rosario should be an eye-opener to our
leaders and even to healthcare providers that they should prioritize and give rights to poor people
to have access to quality healthcare services.
