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.
