ABSTRACT
According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), “health is determined by a number of factors, one of which is healthcare. Healthcare … is defined as the combined functioning of public health and personal medical services” (Kelley and Hurst 2006). Healthcare corporations are defined in this chapter, accordingly, as those corporations that manufacture and sell products and services that are used by the public health system and by personal medical services.
