Health Policy refers to the decisions, goals, and actions undertaken by governments, organizations, or institutions to influence the health of individuals and populations. It encompasses a wide range of issues, including access to healthcare services, quality of care, funding for health programs, healthcare regulations, disease prevention, and public health initiatives. Health policies are developed to address specific health problems, improve health outcomes, and ensure the sustainability and efficiency of healthcare systems. They can be implemented at various levels, including local, national, and international, and often involve collaboration between stakeholders like health professionals, policymakers, and the community. The ultimate aim is to create an environment that promotes health equity, enhances health and wellbeing, and reduces health disparities among different populations.
