Health care
1. Medooc is a search engine for researching medical
information
2. Health care (or healthcare) is the diagnosis,
treatment, and prevention of disease, illness,
injury, and other physical and mental
impairments in humans.
Health care is delivered by practitioners in
medicine, chiropractic, dentistry, nursing,
pharmacy, allied health, and other care providers.
It refers to the work done in providing
primary care, secondary care and tertiary care, as
well as in public health.
3. Access to health care varies across countries,
groups and individuals, largely influenced by social
and economic conditions as well as the health
policies in place.
Countries and jurisdictions have different policies and
plans in relation to the
personal and population-based health care goals
within their societies.
Health care systems are organizations established to
meet the health needs of target populations.
Their exact configuration varies from country to
country.
4. In some countries and jurisdictions, health care
planning is distributed among market participants,
whereas in others planning is made more centrally
among governments or other coordinating bodies
In all cases, according to the World Health
Organization (WHO), a well-functioning health care
system requires a robust financing mechanism; a well-
trained and adequately-paid workforce; reliable
information on which to base decisions and policies;
and well maintained facilities and logistics to
deliver quality medicines and technologies.
5. Health care can form a significant part of a country's
economy. In 2008, the health care industry consumed
an average of 9.0 percent of the gross domestic
product (GDP) across the most developed
OECD countries. The United States (16.0%), France
(11.2%), and Switzerland (10.7%) were the top
three spenders.
6. Health care is conventionally regarded as an important
determinant in promoting the general health
and well-being of people around the world. An
example of this is the worldwide eradication of smallpox
In 1980—declared by the WHO as the first disease in
human history to be completely eliminated by
deliberate health care interventions.
