Abstract:
The ultimate goal of the Health sector is to maximize the population’s health, reforming health services must be part of broader package that recognize the impact of the wider social, physical and economic environment on Health status and vice versa. Public Policy in health is successful if it is leads from one side to the main health challenges facing today including income distribution, employment, education, transportation and agriculture and from the other side the ability to asses health care needs and to identify, develop and implement appropriate services in response to them. As we mention above the characteristics of health system are the results of a mix of economic, social, political and historical factors outside and the system itself. One important factor that have a great impact on health care reform is the involvement of the state in overall policy that includes: levels of decentralization of a public health infrastructure as well as the presence of a public health impute at decision making level.
