Impact Assessment: 

• Analyze the policy's impact on population health outcomes. Discuss how the policy has affected health access, equity, and the management of emerging diseases. 

Identification of Gaps: 

• Identify specific gaps or shortcomings in the policy that may hinder its effectiveness. Discuss the implications of these gaps for the target population.
