Healthcare Systems
According to the World Health Organization (2021), a healthcare system is composed of people, organizations, institutions, and resources that work together to meet the health requirements of the individuals who use it. There are numerous healthcare systems throughout the world. They are created to address the needs and diversity of a specific geographical location. Healthcare systems worldwide share similarities in that their primary goal is to provide wellness to their people; however, they also differ due to technology, resources, culture, and people’s needs. Furthermore, all healthcare systems are constantly evolving because the world is currently in the fourth industrial revolution, in which humans must collaborate with technology (Ćwiklicki, 2020). The healthcare systems of the three highly industrialized countries, the United States of America, Germany, and Canada, are highlighted in the table below. The table will show the differences and similarities between the healthcare systems of the three countries.

The three countries’ healthcare systems play a significant role in their economies (Blümel et al., 2020; Jindal & Overton, 2021; Samuelson-Kiraly, 2020).
