Information about the Ghana Health system and insurance system.

Health system is the structure created to organize and provide health services of a country or society. The health system includes health care financing, health professionals, health institutions and health policies. In many countries, the healthcare system is supported by both the government and the private sector. The government implements many policies and programs to finance, regulate and deliver health services. The private sector, on the other hand, has health institutions that provide health services. The health insurance system is a system in which individuals pay premiums to insurance companies to cover their health expenses. Insurance companies assume financial responsibility and finance health services if individuals benefit from health services. The health insurance system can be divided into two main categories: private health insurance and public health insurance. Private health insurance is a type of insurance that individuals purchase at their own discretion. Public health insurance is an insurance system managed and financed by the state. Public health insurance systems are usually organized as compulsory insurance and cover health services to all citizens or a specific group. These systems make access to healthcare more widespread and facilitate access to healthcare for financially disadvantaged groups. The healthcare system and insurance system have a major impact on a country's or society's access, quality and sustainability of healthcare. Therefore, healthcare system and insurance system policies and regulations play a major role in meeting the health needs of society.
