National Health Service (UK)

The National Health Service (NHS) in the UK is a publicly funded healthcare system established in 1948. It provides a wide range of medical services, including hospital care, general practitioner visits, and emergency services, mostly free at the point of use for residents. Funded primarily through taxation, the NHS aims to ensure that all individuals have access to essential healthcare regardless of their financial situation. Over the years, it has become a crucial part of British society, reflecting the country’s commitment to public health and well-being.
