    (2022) Rispel, Laetitia Charmaine
    A health system is defined as “all organisations, people, and actions whose primary intent is to promote, restore, or maintain health. This includes the organisation of people, institutions, and resources (also known as the building blocks) that deliver health care services, as well as intersectoral action to address the determinants of health” (WHO, 2007, p. 2). The core goals of health systems are to improve population health outcomes, ensure responsiveness to communities, and make efficient use of available resources (WHO, 2000).
