Regulatory Bodies
Regulatory bodies are important in healthcare. Because there are so many laws, rules, and organizations that monitor the healthcare industry, it can be hard to understand them all.

These bodies check that hospitals, clinics, and doctors are keeping patients safe and delivering quality care. By monitoring these practices, they help protect everyone’s health and well-being.
