ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Health policy

Health policy is like a bunch of rules that help us stay healthy. It's like a set of directions that tell us how to take care of ourselves and stay healthy. For example, health policies can tell us what kinds of food to eat and how much exercise we should do. They can also tell us about things we shouldn't do, like smoking or drinking too much alcohol. Health policies also tell doctors, nurses, and other health professionals how to care for us.
