Policy review basically provides a background understanding of what the health entitlements of the citizens are along with providing an understanding on what comprises the health system, human resources and infrastructure of health, health insurance provisions, allocation to health in the budget, besides providing information on role of civic body (Municipality) and local governments in provision of health.
