Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Regional organizations such as the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) are actively involved in addressing health issues within their region. PAHO serves as the WHO regional office for the Americas. The WHO has a total of six regional offices to facilitate achieving its goals and objectives; Africa (AFRO), Europe (EURO), South-East Asia (SEARO), Eastern Mediterranean (EMRO), Western Pacific (WPRO), and the Americas (AMRO, which is PAHO).

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 5

Countries with a national health insurance system include elements of the Beveridge and Bismarck models. These health systems use private-sector providers who receive payments from a government-run insurance program that everyone contributes to. Out-of-pocket health systems are based on the ability of the person seeking health care to pay for the services he or she receives. Veterans Administration is not a type of health insurance.
