Medical Talk Wk 3- Public vs Private Healthcare Systems

Source

Hello my lovely steemians I believe we are all doing great. Thank you @hive-168205 for this amazing medical talk program which has given someone like me the floor to share my opinion.

Healthcare system are those provisions which includes facilities, staff, buildings etc made by either the government or private establishment to oversee that the health of citizens is paramount.

The public healthcare system are organizations owned by the government of a country to render health related services, which a great part or total of the bills are covered by the government including services like immunizations and free check ups.

Whereas the private healthcare system provides services which are being funded mainly by patients, as the entire system is financed by individual owners, thereby the need for funds for staff salaries and maintenance of the establishment.

Therefore the public healthcare system is more likely to provide access to healthcare for everyone in the society regardless of income.

The role of government in a public healthcare system I will say is greatly commendable as provision are made for a sustainable and reliable good health of all and sundry.

As compared to the private healthcare system which apart from saving lives, maximizing profit is also the aim for the smooth running of the healthcare system.

In my opinion, I will say the public healthcare service is more affordable for individuals and families as it is pocket friendly and accessible to citizens because of the finances which has been taken care of already by the government.

The quality of healthcare in a public system compared to that in a private system are similar. But in most cases public healthcare system tends to employ a good number of experts who attend to patients and also, proper equipment are provided by the government for sound treatment.

In conclusion, both public and private healthcare system have their pros and cons but share similar goal, which is providing maximum health services to citizens.

A citizen has the liberty to a private healthcare system if he is financially buoyant and ready to single handedly foot the hospital bill or if being referred there also, he can choose to visit a public healthcare system which the bills are greatly covered by the government.

It's only but a matter of choice and life condition. Optimum health remains the goal no matter which ever healthcare system is chose.

I appreciate you all for finding time to go through my post. I'm inviting @megareigns, @clarence25 and @fombae to partake in this contest.
