A private health organisation is one that is owned by a person or persons, or partners, or corporations. It usually operates with a business frame of mind: i.e. it has to make profit to survive, the sick people are the customers, and what you charge them is your revenue.

A public health organisation is one that is owned by the government. It operates with a socialistic frame of mind: to serve the people in need of medical service.

With public health organisation, rich people, technically speaking, cannot skip the line and pay more to get served instantly: the idea is that the health organisation is there to serve everyone and so regardless of your social status, service is based in who needs it most and who was here first.

With private organisation, supply of medical professional services v.s. demand of such services from the sick will play a part in the pricing of the service. The hospital needs to make money and so will sometimes serve the highest bidder.

Private organizations are more efficient in a lot of ways because they aren't open to the entire population, as it will only serve those who can afford it. Public health organizations are open to the public and so lineups are notoriously long.
