Government has several essential roles in the implementation of an urban health agenda. Government acts as a direct agent in the financing and delivery of services, as a rule maker for the financing and provision of care by others, and as a forum for political debate. Discussions of access to care, control of health care costs, and the maintenance of quality all include a role for government. A period of apparent rejection of comprehensive governmental health care policy has nevertheless included numerous examples of the persistence of government's many roles.
政府在实施城市卫生议程方面发挥着几个至关重要的作用。政府作为服务融资和提供的直接主体,作为其他各方医疗保健融资和提供的规则制定者,以及作为政治辩论的论坛。关于医疗服务可及性、医疗保健成本控制和质量维持的讨论都涉及政府的作用。然而,一段明显排斥全面政府医疗保健政策的时期仍包含众多政府诸多角色持续存在的例子。
