    Healthcare is the maintenance or improvement of health via the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of illness, injury, disease, and other physical or mental
    impairments. Healthcare includes dentistry, psychology, nursing, medicine, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and more. Access to healthcare varies
    across countries, municipalities, and individuals and is largely influenced by economic and social factors.

    According to the World Health Organization, a well-functioning healthcare system requires a steady financing mechanism, a properly-trained and adequately-
    paid workforce, well-maintained facilities, and access to reliable information to base decisions on. Having access to healthcare is seen as a basic human right
    by many people. Lack of quality healthcare can result in a poor quality of life and lower life expectancy than countries with a stable and accessible healthcare
    system.

    How is the quality of healthcare determined? Several factors determine the level of healthcare quality in each country. These include the care process
    (preventative care measures, safe care, coordinated care, and engagement and patient preferences), access (affordability and timeliness), administrative
    efficiency, equity, and healthcare outcomes (population health, mortality amenable to healthcare, and disease-specific health outcomes).
