The Saturday, 4 August 2007 New Orleans Advocate reported that while the city is still facing the same significant healthcare needs and large racial disparities in health that existed prior to 2005's Hurricane Katrina, the storms also had a leveling affect across many health access and utilization measures, creating new access to care barriers for many still living in the region.
The basis for the article is the recently released report by the Kaiser Family Foundation, "Health Challenges for the People of New Orleans," that acknowledged that Katrina has made life more difficult for everyone in the area.
The Kaiser report is the result of a door-to-door survey of 1,500 residents in Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard, and Plaquemines parishes in Fall 2006.■

Health challenges everywhere....and less interest of the health care authorities to look after the needful.So how long are we going to be a prey to this unjustified law and culture?

Can you name a city which is not going through such a crisis...disastrous medical facilities...horrid goof ups and negligent medical staff...but all talk and no improvement...what is the solution to this really?

There are health challenges in every city and there are not enough committed medical staff to take care of it.The profession has become a business without care and affection and concern.And I hope that all the health departments are pondering on this issue after being hit by HINI or swine flu so badly.
