As a manager, you have been chosen to present information on two choices for your company’s new health insurance carrier for employees. Assume you are also able to use an insurer within the Gulf Cooperation Council. Research the various providers in Saudi Arabia and choose one that meets the needs of your company. Then, choose another country within the Gulf Corporation Council and locate a similar insurance provider option. Create a comparison analysis presentation about both insurance providers. Be sure to include the following:
The different benefits available to the employees through their health insurance plan;
The responsibility of the employer in terms of premiums;
The advantages and benefits of both plans;
How Saudi Arabia and the other GCC country you chose fund national health services; and
How moral hazard plays into a company’s health benefit plan.
Your presentation should meet the following structural requirements:
Organized into five slides, plus the title and reference slides.
Employ professional themes and transitions.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on various aspects of global health, highlighting the importance and implications in the domains of global health as public health and health equity.
**Global Health as Public Health**
The COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized the critical role of global health as public health. It has demonstrated that infectious diseases do not respect borders and can rapidly evolve into global crises. The pandemic has exposed vulnerabilities in public health systems worldwide, prompting a reevaluation of preparedness and response strategies. It underscored the need for international cooperation and a coordinated approach to address emerging infectious diseases effectively (Cash & Patel, 2020).
The pandemic has also showcased the significance of surveillance, early detection, and data sharing as crucial components of global public health. Countries with robust surveillance systems and effective public health responses have generally fared better in managing the pandemic. The global community witnessed the importance of timely and transparent information sharing to prevent the spread of misinformation and to facilitate evidence-based decision-making.
**Health Equity**
COVID-19 has illuminated the stark disparities in health equity on a global scale. Vulnerable populations, including racial and ethnic minorities, lower-income communities, and marginalized groups, have experienced a disproportionate burden of the disease. These disparities reflect deep-rooted social determinants of health, such as income inequality, access to healthcare, and systemic racism.
The pandemic has prompted discussions about the need to address health equity as an integral part of public health responses. It has led to calls for targeted interventions to reduce disparities in healthcare access, testing, vaccination, and treatment. Health equity has become a central theme in the global response to COVID-19, emphasizing the importance of addressing the needs of marginalized communities to achieve a more equitable distribution of resources and healthcare services.
In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the vital role of global health as public health and has shed light on the pressing issue of health equity. It has served as a stark reminder that addressing global health challenges requires collaboration, preparedness, and a commitment to reducing disparities to ensure a more resilient and equitable world.
