The health system is the set of measures, procedures and facilities that make up the system of organisation of health care and provision of public health. Health care means the prevention, treatment and management of disease and the protection of mental and physical health, using the services of medical, nursing and auxiliary personnel. According to the World Health Organisation, health care can affect the health of 20% of the population. Other influences such as lifestyle, environment and harmful habits affect 80 % of the population's health.
