Health policies outline the strategies, decisions, and activities to meet the objectives. Infectious illness prevention and management posed a difficulty in my neighborhood and national community. At the beginning of the world pandemic, COVID-19, the economy was crippled.  Public spaces and other forms of social interaction were closed off. I was presented with an opportunity to help people understand the problem and how to take preventative actions. Individuals were instructed to maintain their distance from one another, cover their faces with masks, and frequently wash their hands with soap and water (Rahman et al., 2021).

People were also required to spend as much time as necessary in their homes and away from public gatherings. Moreover, vaccinations were used to lessen the likelihood of people being infected. These precautions were successful since they slowed the spread of Covid – 19. These efforts helped to minimize the possibility of developing the illness, and there was a corresponding drop in reported cases (Vitiello et al., 2021).

Propose an area of your political competency that needs further development and an action you could take to become more politically competent to impact your selected population.

I want to enhance my networking abilities to establish connections with additional national political figures. It will make it easy to persuade them and facilitate the adoption of the prevalent health policy efforts to improve the efficacy of healthcare delivery (Myers, 2020). I believe that my ability to network will aid me in pursuing better availability of clinical resources, which are necessary for providing patients with the all-encompassing care they need to achieve positive health outcomes. Facilitating development initiatives within the clinical domains to ensure clients obtain fast and good healthcare will be simple with the help of politicians.
