Introduction: Health promotion is the highest level of human sensitivity directed to break down differences and produce equal opportunities for unselected people to enjoy the best health care potential. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of the assistance provided to immigrants by Italian general practitioners (GPs), the level of satisfaction declared by migrants, and the perception of GPs about the needs of migrants. Methods: A survey was conducted. Both immigrant patients (regular and illegal) and some Italian GPs filled a questionnaire. Ten GPs were selected among those available to perform the study by a convenience sampling method; the immigrants were consecutively included among those attending the medical offices. Results: Over 90% (n = 66) of immigrants declared to be fully satisfied with the overall assistance provided with easy access to care. GPs declared no problems in assisting even illegal immigrants and suggested the accurate evaluation of patients’ needs to provide successful care. Conclusions: These findings indicate the importance of promoting health and education as provided by Italian GPs. The satisfaction declared by the interviewed immigrants is mainly attributable to the model of assistance provided in Apulia, which includes interventions for any health problem.

Background: In daily practice, physicians encounter many health risks. Multiple studies have found that physicians are finding it difficult to access health care, and often resort to self-diagnosis and treatment. Methods: Cross-section analytical observational study. A non-random convenience sampling technique using a preexisting self-administered validated questionnaire. Results: Most of the factors represented a low-to-moderate or neutral level of difficulty, although 42% of respondents said that finding the time to access care was a high priority. Career threatening illnesses were not a significant problem (72 of 456 respondents, or 15.8%), but 54.4% of respondents reported that they had a colleague with a career-threatening illness. Conclusion: The results indicate the need for policy makers and employer to make a greater effort to meet physicians' health care needs. One of the main weaknesses of this study was the sample, as it cannot be considered to be representative of physicians working in Saudi Arabia. The majority of respondents were general and family physicians, so the results may not apply to other specialties that were not represented equally in our sample.

This paper is the assessment of the women’s perception towards the quality of services they received during their maternity time and examining their level of satisfaction with the intention to revisit the same hospital for future services. Primary quantitative data through the distribution of questionnaire from 150 respondents using convenience sampling from five hospitals viz Nagarik Hospital, Teaching Hospital, Thapathali Hospital, KMC and Patan Hospital were collected. Majorities of the respondent were satisfied enough to return to the hospital and would happily recommend others as well. This study found that human and physical resources have the lowest average. Implying that most of the respondent felt that it was the most important factor while choosing the hospital followed by privacy, cognition, physical abuse, denial of requested care, confidentiality, emotional support, involvement of family member and finally respect, dignity and equity scores last. It means that no matter which hospital respondent went they found it most obvious to be treated with respect. It clearly shows the reason on why the hospital is investing more on the infrastructure rather than innovating and delivering higher service quality. On the serious note, a case of physical and verbal abuse also came into light during the investigation. Not much of research based policies are seen to protect such critical case.
