Supply of Health Services

Supply of health services refers to the availability and organization of medical care and treatment within a healthcare system. This includes hospitals, clinics, healthcare professionals, and technology. It is influenced by factors such as government policies, funding, workforce availability, and infrastructure. When supply is high, patients may have better access to care and shorter wait times, while low supply can lead to overcrowding and delays. Understanding this balance helps policymakers ensure that everyone can receive necessary health services efficiently and effectively.
