Health in Britain

  • Health care, is the prevention, treatment, and management of illness and the preservation of mental and physical well being through the services offered by the medical, nursing, and allied health professions. According to the World Health Organization, health care embraces all the goods and services designed to promote health, including “preventive, curative and palliative interventions, whether directed to individuals or to populations”.

    In the UK, the
    National Health Service in the United Kingdom was the world's first universal health care system provided by government. It was established in 1948 by Clement Atlee's Labour government. Alternatively, compulsory government funded health insurance with nominal fees can be provided. Moreover, the government support and invest much fund to build the facility and train the doctors and nurses recent years. There are more million employees to work in the NHS, and the cost has rocketed. Consequently, the British government must reform the original system and build the fair and suitable health system to every citizen. No matter what they are different region, social class, gender, ethnicity and allocate of resource, the government must guarantee the every citizen the suitable right.

    No matter how, we believe that the British government will try their best to service the British citizen health. The NHS will be very well in the future.

Hi Alex

I can see you've done some research on the NHS. However, you haven't answered the questions on the blog!
