Health Systems and Financing

Health systems refer to the organized efforts and resources that countries use to deliver healthcare services to their populations. This includes hospitals, clinics, health professionals, and policies. Financing in this context relates to how these health services are funded, whether through government budgets, private insurance, out-of-pocket payments, or international aid. Effective health systems and financing are crucial for ensuring that everyone can access quality healthcare, which is essential for improving public health outcomes, reducing inequalities, and promoting economic stability within nations and globally.
