Public Healthcare

Public healthcare refers to medical services provided and financed by the government, ensuring that all citizens have access to essential health care regardless of income or social status. Funded primarily through taxes, it aims to promote overall population health, prevent diseases, and provide treatments such as vaccinations, hospital care, and preventive services. Public healthcare systems prioritize equitable access and cost containment, offering affordable or free care to reduce health disparities. While the quality and availability of services can vary between countries, the core goal is to ensure that everyone receives necessary health care without financial hardship.
