Health systems are the intricate networks of organizations, people, and actions whose primary intent is to promote, restore, or maintain health. These systems encompass everything from the hospitals and clinics we visit, to the health insurance policies that help cover costs, and the public health initiatives that prevent disease. Understanding health systems is crucial not just for those working directly in healthcare, but for anyone interested in societal well-being and development.
