Healthcare
常作不可数名词，指行业、制度或服务总和；英式亦写作 health care（两词），美式倾向连写 healthcare。
- “Rural areas still struggle with access to affordable healthcare.” (农村地区仍难以获得负担得起的医疗服务。)
- “She chose a career in healthcare after volunteering at a clinic.” (在诊所志愿服务后，她选择了医疗保健行业。)
- “The debate focused on funding models for universal healthcare.” (争论集中在全民医保的筹资模式上。)
古英语 hælth（完整、健康）与 care（关心、照料）复合，指维护与恢复健康的一整套安排。
复合词 “health” + “care”；作定语时常连写，如 “healthcare worker”。
各国制度差异大，报道中常出现 Medicare、NHS、医保报销等语境；职场统称医护人员为 healthcare workers。
- 固定搭配: “healthcare system” (医疗体系), “healthcare provider” (医疗服务提供方), “primary healthcare” (初级卫生保健)
- 变体拼写: health care
health（健康）+ care（照料）→ 为健康提供照料的一整套服务。
“During the crisis, healthcare workers faced long shifts and emotional strain.” (危机期间，医护人员面对长时间轮班与情绪压力。)
