The Ministry of Health has established policies that are more favourable to the poor
to focus more on health services for the poor, underprivileged, disadvantaged and remote

ability to deliver the promised service quickly, accurately and satisfactorily.
Responsibility is the ability to help customers and the willingness to serve customers well.
