Health policy can be defined as the "decisions, plans, and actions that are undertaken to achieve specific healthcare goals within a society".[1] According to the World Health Organization, an explicit health policy can achieve several things: it defines a vision for the future; it outlines priorities and the expected roles of different groups; and it builds consensus and informs people.[1]
