UK healthcare

UK healthcare is primarily provided through the National Health Service (NHS), funded mainly by taxation. It offers nearly free medical services such as GP visits, hospital care, and emergency services to residents. Patients can access primary care with a GP (general practitioner) and receive specialist treatment if needed. The NHS aims to ensure health equity and comprehensive care, though adjustments are ongoing to manage funding and resources. Private healthcare is also available but is used by a smaller proportion of the population and operates alongside NHS services.
