Subsystem 2: doctors (left) and PCWs (right) accumulate “power” in the form of earnings. A public fund (center bottom) is allocated to public payments to doctors (arrow pointing left) and public payments to PCWs (arrow pointing right). There are also two non-governmental organizations (NGOs) named NGO-D, which donates to doctors, and NGO-P, which donates to PCWs. Consultation fees (bottom left) in proportion to the number of patients with disease A also supplement doctor’s earnings.
