Actors and responsibilities
The 2023 country profile provides reported system context, rather than assigning every operational responsibility to an actor.

How the health system is organized
This profile follows the organizational chain from national institutions and subnational authorities to purchasers, provider organizations, referral networks, and people using services.

Methods, evidence, and data
Source traceability, coverage, citations, locators, source versions, and annotation materials are grouped here so the organizational synthesis remains the primary reading flow.
Directly mapped computable objects
Source-linked mappings drive the visible country synthesis and remain open for annotation. Canonical registries are reported separately so a zero in that publication layer is never mistaken for absent evidence.
| Object | Count | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Source-linked analytical mappings | 10 | Cited mappings rendered across the organization, decision, delivery, network, autonomy, and reform views. |
| Source-linked analytical object rows | 18 | Named graph nodes and edges, function assignments, decision cells, autonomy cells, pathways, and reform events supplied by those mappings. |
| Actors | 0 | Actors with explicit identity, territory, time, and evidence lineage. |
| Relationships | 0 | Evidence-backed actor-to-actor or actor-to-provider edges. |
| Decision rights | 0 | Actor, function, decision, and role assignments. |
| Provider organizations | 0 | Named or typed providers with evidence-backed ownership and management. |
| Autonomy records | 0 | Decision-domain authority paired with an autonomous-from actor. |
| Accountability records | 0 | Accountable-to actor and mechanism. |
| Referral designs | 0 | Formal referral, choice, bypass, and counter-referral arrangements. |
| Observed flows | 0 | Observed referral, bypass, mobility, or network flows. |
Source traceability and coverage
These six documentation measures describe the traceability available for displayed materials: domain coverage, public URLs, exact locators, source versions, and typed mappings. They do not measure health-system performance, source truth, institutional quality, or country success. A zero never means that an actor, authority, relationship, service, or activity is absent.
Documentation status: Explicit analytical mappings. All six source-traceability measures meet or exceed 80%. Materials remain open for annotation and country-specific refinement.
