Natural health is a recently developed discipline acknowledging the significant influence natural elements have on human well-being. Policies that consider how outside events influence people's health must be consistent in order to reduce risks and enhance general well-off. This paper examines environmental health policy of many healthcare systems. It demonstrates the variations in policy frameworks, legal procedures, and public health protection capacity among them. From those with universal coverage to those with privatised systems, the research examines several nations with various healthcare systems. Its aim is to identify the most important legislative projects addressing environmental health issues including waste management, water quality, air pollution, and climate change adaptation. The paper examines how various nations handle environmental health concerns within their own healthcare systems. It achieves this by means of both qualitative and quantitative research approaches, including policy evaluation, statistics on health outcomes, and interaction with important legislators and health professionals. The research mainly examines the variations between the regulations in countries like the US depending on commercial health care models and those in Scandinavia with robust public health care systems. It looks at how these systems use environmental health studies to plan and make policies for healthcare and the problems they face when trying to balance health and environmental goals. At the end of the study, the best practices from the different healthcare systems are highlighted, problems with putting policies into action are pointed out, and suggestions for change are made. To get long-lasting health results, it is very important that environmental health strategies are well integrated into healthcare systems. The results show that working together across sectors, making policies stronger, and making people more aware are all important for improving the health of the environment and reducing its effects on people who are already weak. Also, encouraging international cooperation and learning from different healthcare systems can help shape future policies that aim to improve health around the world and protect the environment.
