Answer 2

$\tt\huge{\blue{Answer:-}}$

Governments play an important role in health development. The dramatic changes during the last four decades of the 20th century have greatly affected and led to a repositioning of the government’s role in health as well as other social sectors. As market forces fail to address properly the health needs of populations, governments have an obligation to intervene in order to improve both equity and efficiency, to carry out public health functions and to produce vital public goods which have bearing on health development. The Regional Committee is invited to discuss ways in which to strengthen health systems functions with particular focus on governance, financing and service delivery, in order to protect the social role of government in health development.
