Definition(s)

  • The scope of health systems, as outlined by the World Health Organization (WHO), includes all actors, institutions, and resources that undertake actions where the primary intent is to improve health. The advantage of the WHO approach is that it recognizes that health care is only one route to developing better health. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Studies; Health Care Systems]
