Definition
- The term health planning refers to conscious efforts to assess the current and future health-related needs of a population and identify ways to best meet those needs effectively and efficiently with limited resources. However, there is no consensus on this definition, perhaps because planning is a practice-based discipline rather than a theory-based one.
