EQUITABLE CARE

EQUITABLE CARE

Health is not distributed equally and thus a health care system should strive towards equity in health care for the entire population and it should prioritise those with the greatest need. It should also be oriented towards prevention and health promotion

EFFICIENT HEALTH CARE

EFFICIENT HEALTH CARE Efficient health care means optimal

utilisation of the recources available in order to achieve desired goals. Efficient health care can therefore be said to have a high level of target attainment in relation to the recources utilised
