Public health care refers to a system where health services are provided to the population by the government or public entities. This system aims to ensure that all individuals have access to necessary medical services, regardless of their financial situation. Public health care often includes preventive care, treatment for illnesses, and health education. In many countries, public health care is funded through taxes, allowing for a more equitable distribution of health resources. Services may include hospitals, clinics, and vaccination programs, which work together to improve the overall health of the community and reduce health disparities.
