Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

Partnering with the private sector

Empowering more health and allied health professionals with education and infrastructure is crucial in overcoming the shortage of medical professionals. Unfortunately, there is a lack of sufficient funds in the health sector. So, the government should prioritise increasing its expenditure on healthcare. The government can also partner with private entities and speed up the process of resolving the problem.
