Instruction:Read the scenario and answer questions belowIn early 2025, following Donald Trump’s re-election as U.S. president, his administration announced sweeping reductions in foreign aid, including substantial cuts to health programs in South Africa. The decision affected funding for HIV/AIDS initiatives under PEPFAR (the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief), leading to disruptions in antiretroviral (ARV) treatment for thousands of patients. Clinics in rural and township areas struggled to provide care, and community outreach programs aimed at preventing new infections faced closure.Amid these policy changes, Trump made derogatory remarks about the LGBTQIA+ community, reinforcing his administration’s stance against inclusive health policies. His public mockery of a viral video from Lesotho that depicted local advocacy for LGBTQIA+ rights further fueled tensions. Activists in South Africa condemned the remarks, warning that such rhetoric, combined with funding cuts, would deepen the crisis for marginalized groups, particularly LGBTQIA+ individuals living with HIV.1. Discuss how the exclusion of LGBTQIA+ individuals from health policies and funding priorities contributes to health disparities under the following headings:a) Access to healthcare (4)b) Mental health outcomes (3)c) Disease prevention efforts (3)2. Illustrate how the ethical principle of non-maleficence apply to the U.S. decision to cut health funding to South Africa and other African countries under a Trump administration? (10)

3.1. Instruction:Read the scenario below and answer question 3.1.1, 3.1.2, AND 3.1.3. A study was done among 1353 Jordanian women using a self-administered questionnaire and the results and the conclusion were: Although Jordanian women had an acceptable level of knowledge of breast cancer, the screening rates for mammography were low. These findings suggest that there is a need to provide extra awareness programs for Jordanian women to improve their breast cancer knowledge and practice.(Accessed from Al-Mousa, D. S., Alakhras, M., Hossain, S. Z., Al-Sa’di, A. G., Al Hasan, M., Al-Hayek, Y., & Brennan, P. C. (2020). Knowledge, attitude and practice around breast cancer and mammography screening among Jordanian women. Breast Cancer: Targets and Therapy, 231-242.) 3.1.1. Do you agree with the analysis of the findings. Give reasons for your answer? (3) 3.1.2. Apply a more appropriate communication strategy that would increase the screening rates. (4) 3.1.3. Develop one questions for each aspect of knowledge, attitude, and practice that you put in a questionnaire for a similar study in your community. Note that the total number of your questions should be three, each of which covers the above aspects. (6) 3.2. Instruction: The images below talk about traditional approaches.
