Pública y privada

"Publica" (public) and "privada" (private) refer to ownership and management of resources or institutions. Public entities are owned and operated by government or community organizations, serving the general public’s interests, often funded through taxes. Private entities are owned by individuals or companies, operated for profit or specific goals, and funded privately. For example, a public hospital is government-funded and accessible to everyone, while a private hospital is operated by a private company, potentially requiring payment or insurance. The distinction influences access, funding, and governance of services and resources.
