Healthcare

Healthcare refers to the organized provision of medical services to individuals and communities to maintain or improve health. It encompasses a wide range of services, including prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of illness and injuries. Healthcare systems can include hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, and laboratories, as well as the professionals who work in them, such as doctors, nurses, and allied health personnel. The goal of healthcare is to ensure that people have access to services that promote physical and mental well-being, prevent disease, and mitigate health issues. Healthcare can be delivered through various models, including public, private, and mixed systems, and it is influenced by factors such as economics, policy, and social determinants of health.
