health ministry
Government healthcare agency
A health ministry is the government department responsible for public health policy, healthcare systems, and medical regulations in a country.
Most nations have one, though the exact name varies: The health ministry issued new vaccination guidelines.
In the United States, this role falls to the Department of Health and Human Services rather than a ministry.
