UK’s National Health Service (NHS)
The UK's National Health Service (NHS) is a publicly funded healthcare system providing medical services to residents free at the point of use, funded mainly through taxation. It offers a wide range of services, including GP visits, hospital care, emergency services, mental health support, and preventive care. The NHS aims to ensure accessible, high-quality healthcare for everyone regardless of income, prioritizing health needs over profit. Managed by government departments and NHS organizations, it operates across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, with some variations in each region.
