Health systems are organizations and resources that deliver healthcare services to meet the health needs of populations. They include hospitals, clinics, insurance providers, government agencies, and public health organizations that work together to provide care, manage resources, and ensure public health.

Their goal is to improve health outcomes, increase access to services, and promote the overall well-being of communities.
