4. Types of health policies: Macro-policy : includes global health policy which ‘‘implies consideration of the people’s health needs of the whole planet above the concerns of particular nations’’ . Global and national policies focus on what the policy is all about and sometimes leave out details of how government offices or healthcare facilities should implement the policy (the procedure). Micro health policies: are usually developed in relation to macro health policies. In terms of scope, macro-policies have a larger impact than micro policies. Micro-policies affect a particular sector, organization, service or process . micro-policy is a broad guide for organizational members to observe in their behaviors or performance of their management or operational responsibilities
