Beveridge model

The Beveridge model is a healthcare system where the government funds and runs most health services, providing care free or low-cost to residents. Funded primarily through taxes, it ensures equitable access regardless of income, with hospitals and doctors often employed by the government. Countries like the UK, Spain, and New Zealand follow this system. It aims to provide universal health coverage, emphasizing public health and cost control, while maintaining high standards of care through government oversight.
