Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Private sector health services are complementary and supplementary to government health agencies, but this is not a difference between the two types of agencies. Private sector health care agencies usually meet the needs of people with special needs (rather than public sector health care agencies that focus on the entire population within their jurisdiction). Private sector health care agencies are less constrained than public sector health care agencies in developing innovations in health care. A part of the reason for the development of private sector health care agencies is the impatience or dissatisfaction with government (public health) programs.
