SOHAW: Systems of HealthCare Around the World

Welcome!

Systems of Healthcare Around the World (SOHAW) is a site aiming to summarise the foundations of health care models that are employed globally, with some more details on a few exemplar countries.

There are four main types of health care models which are the basis for the organisation and distribution of health care in countries around the world, where each model may be implemented slightly differently.
