Health systems
Health systems, also known as healthcare systems, are large organized groups of doctors, nurses, healthcare professionals, institutions, and resources. These entities work together to deliver health care services to a community. Effective health systems aim to improve the patients experience, enhance the health of the community, and reduce healthcare costs.
