Abstract

The present study delves into the multifaceted realm of healthcare financing models and their profound impact on health outcomes. Healthcare financing models serve as the cornerstone of any healthcare system, dictating how resources are allocated and services are delivered. This paper examines various healthcare financing models, including public, private, and mixed systems, their economic implications, and the resultant health outcomes for patients and populations.
