Medical personnel are very well trained and healthcare in the country is to all the citizens and those who are as a registered long-term resident. Norway has both public health care system and private health care system. The private health care system is limited in Norway. The Ministry of Health is controlling the healthcare policy and it’s looking after the state system. Healthcare policy is run by five health provinces and the municipalities.I chose Norway because the health care system is committed to providing health care services for all citizens regardless of income and to the principle of equal access to services.Accordingly, the health status of Norwegians is one of the best in the world, ranking much higher than that of the United States.

Rasmussen K, Bratlid D. Quality or equality? The Norwegian experience with medical
monopolies. BMC Health Services Research. 2007;7:20. doi:10.1186/1472-6963-7-20.
This article reviews a historical move in the Norwegian healthcare system, which was
significant in ensuring that every citizen in the country was able to access quality
healthcare services. Rasmussen takes into consideration the fact that the country had a
scattered population hence was a challenge to ensure close proximity of each citizen to a
reliable healthcare facility. This prompted the country to introduce healthcare monopolies
which would focus on localized geographical areas in the country. However, the results
obtained were contrary, where not every citizen was able to access healthcare. At the end,
the country settles for duopolies healthcare facilities which ensured that all individuals
were able to easily access healthcare services.
This resource is significant to my paper, seeing that it contains critical information
pertaining the history of the current healthcare system implemented in Norway. The
resource also provides insights into the status of the healthcare system in the country.

increase in infection and mortality.
This resource is instrumental in that it will contribute to providing information pertaining
to current healthcare statistics with respect to Tuberculosis. It also provides information
on the current challenges the healthcare system is facing in the country.

This journal seeks to identify and analyze one of the biggest challenges that the
Norwegian healthcare sector is facing, a lack of collaboration between healthcare
practitioners and the patients. Aspects discussed in the article are findings of projectbased researches that were conducted seeking to shed some light on the topic of

challenges in different scopes of...
