Factors that I consider as essential for good leadership

Leadership would not be efficient until the issues are correctly addressed. Health systems, after years of ignorance, are now extensively renowned as a key element in the worldwide efforts to make progress in health outcomes for the world's population. Support for health systems growth has developed extremely; it is the most constantly mentioned priority in World Health Organization (Moran, 1992, pp. 475-488).

Genders and Sex play a vital role in identifying a male or female's leadership style.

There were no test to confirm the symptoms of the patient's condition and the patient was not in a condition to wait for test results. However, I immediately transferred the patient to ICU for analysis of her condition. The location indicates the possibility of kidney pain, and I assure to make provisions for instant relief.
