    Question

    In the healthcare system, an activity or service that is organised by an individual or company is known as:

    A.

    A co-operative medical facility

    B.

    Private health care

    C.

    Medical tourism

    D.

    Public health care

    Correct option is B


    Sol. Private health care refers to health services that are provided and managed by individuals, companies, or organizations, rather than by the government. These facilities operate on a for-profit or not-for-profit basis and may include clinics, hospitals, diagnostic labs, and specialty care centers. Access usually requires out-of-pocket payment or health insurance. Private healthcare often offers faster services and more personalized care compared to public health facilities.
    Explanation of each option:
    · (a) A co-operative medical facility – Incorrect. Co-operative facilities are managed by a group of people or a society where profits and responsibilities are shared. Though private in nature, these are not solely run by one individual or company.
    · (b) Private health care – Correct. These services are owned and operated by individuals or corporate entities. They offer treatment, diagnosis, and management of diseases with various levels of amenities, typically on a fee-for-service basis.
    · (c) Medical tourism – Incorrect. This refers to patients traveling to another country to seek medical treatment. It is not defined by who organizes the facility, but by the travel component involved in seeking care.
    · (d) Public health care – Incorrect. Public health care is funded and managed by the government, providing services either free or at subsidized rates. It is not operated by individuals or private companies.
