Abstract:   (23 Views)

Health governance is recognized as one of the fundamental pillars of modern healthcare systems. This concept refers to the set of structures, processes, and norms that guide decision-making, resource allocation, and service delivery in the health sector [1]. Health governance is an interdisciplinary field that uses knowledge from social, political, legal, economic, and ethical sciences to provide appropriate solutions for improving health and enhancing efficiency, transparency, accountability, and equity in the health sector. When designed and implemented transparently, participatively, and responsibly, health governance can increase the legitimacy of health policies, strengthen equitable access to services, and improve resource utilization efficiency. In this way, not only does the quality of healthcare services improve, but both individual and social health outcomes are also enhanced. In the current context, where health systems face challenges such as emerging pandemics, climate change, demographic inequalities, and limitations in human and financial resources, the importance of efficient governance is more critical than ever [2]. On the other hand, effective governance creates the necessary foundation for sustainability, resilience, and responsiveness to the changing needs of populations.
