healthcare regulations

Healthcare regulations are laws and guidelines set by government authorities to ensure that medical care and facilities are safe, effective, and ethical. These regulations govern various aspects, including licensing of healthcare professionals, quality of care, patient privacy (like HIPAA in the U.S.), and the approval of medications and medical devices. They aim to protect patients, ensure fair access to services, and maintain high standards within the healthcare system. By regulating healthcare, authorities work to build trust and safety in medical practices for everyone involved.
