Morphology
The meaning 'organization and provision of health services' is directly derivable from combining 'health' (state of being well) and 'care' (services/treatment) with 'delivery' (the act of providing). This compositional pattern (X delivery = the provision of X) is common and likely to be understood by a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
The phrase health care delivery paints a clear picture: like a delivery driver bringing a package to your door, but the package is health and care brought to people. So it means 'arranging and giving health services' to people or communities.
