What do you mean by a public health care system?

A health system, according to the World Health Organization, is made up of all organisations, individuals, and actions whose main goal is to promote, restore, or preserve health.

This covers both initiatives to alter health determinants and more direct acts to promote health.

The public health system of a country is made up of all organised efforts aimed at avoiding disease, prolonging life, and increasing people's health and productivity.

The Indian healthcare system has a long history of prioritising medical treatment over public health.

Hence, a health care system is made up of all organisations, individuals and has a goal of promoting and restoring health. And, the collection of all organised actions that aims at preventing disease, extending life, and improving people's health and productivity is known as the public healthcare system.
