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 services, 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. This approach can help reduce health disparities and improve overall community health by providing essential services to everyone, including vulnerable populations like the elderly and low-income families.
