Healthcare systems refer to the organized processes and structures through which medical services are delivered to populations. These systems encompass various components, including healthcare providers (such as hospitals, clinics, and practitioners), funding mechanisms (such as insurance programs), regulatory bodies, and the policies that govern healthcare delivery. The aim of healthcare systems is to improve the health and well-being of individuals and communities by providing access to necessary medical services, promoting health education, and ensuring quality in care delivery. Different countries have varying healthcare systems that can be categorized into models like public, private, or mixed systems, reflecting their approaches to financing, governance, and the distribution of healthcare services.
