We will also attempt to identify the weaknesses, their dissatisfactions factors of all parts, and their challenges during the post covid19 pandemic period, which has put the national health system under severe strain, and clearly revealed its vulnerability. Finally, we will conclude with recommendations that would remind us of the important and urgent reconstructions and help us to have a new vision for developing strong, overall and sustainable health policy.
