Does aPOE influence vasospasm and cognition of noncomatose patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage?

It is obvious that while the provision of curative health care can be left to the hands of the private suppliers, that of preventive health care needs strong government involvement. It is suggested that deliberate efforts be taken to shift resources from curative to preventive measures. One way in which such a strategy can be attained is for the government to set, as a condition for private operators, a minimum level of preventive measures to be provided by every operator before a permit is issued. However, caution should be taken to ensure that such deliberations do not discourage investors in the health sector.
