The institutions involved in a universal health care system includes: Schools, Mental health coaching institutions, Governments, Emergency medical services, Civilian groups, Home care, Association of physicians, Hospitals, Treatment/rehabilitation centers and Laboratories. Three main resources issues in hospitals are: Resource allocation issues, Resource management issues, and Generation resource issues.
