HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS

health care
Health care system is such a system which is targeted to meet the needs of people. There are a wide variety of health care systems around the world. In some countries, the health care system has evolved and has not been planned, whereas in others a concerted effort has been made by governments, trade unions, charities, religious, or other co-ordinated bodies to deliver planned health care services targeted to the populations they serve. However, health care planning has often been evolutionary. Mostly,it is done by health care providers.

Health care providers are trained professional people working self-employed or as an employee in an organization, whether a for-profit company, a not-for profit company, a government entity, or a charity. Organisations employing people providing health care are also known as health care providers. Examples are doctors and nurses, dentists etc.
Some special health care systems are:

1] Occupational safety and health
2] School health services
3] Military medicine etc.

There are generally five primary methods of funding health care systems:
1] direct or out-of-pocket payments,
2] general taxation,
3] social health insurance,
4] voluntary or private health insurance, and
5] donations or community health insurance

In this way health care system is done to enhance the health level of the people.
