What is the nhs in Britain?
NHS stands for Britain's National Health Service.

Its main purpose is to provide free, fair and efficient medical services for British residents. As one of the largest institutions in Britain, the mission of NHS is to provide high-quality medical services for everyone, regardless of social status, wealth, race, gender, age and other factors.

The history of NHS can be traced back to 1948, when the Labour government established the NHS to provide free medical services and health care for all residents. Since then, NHS has become one of the most popular public services in Britain and a part of British culture.

The NHS is managed by the Ministry of Health of England, and is responsible for formulating policies and plans for the NHS to ensure its normal operation. The NHS is funded by state taxes, so it has enough funds to provide various medical services, including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and dental clinics.

Primary health care: called primary health care, it is the main body of NHS and consists of family clinics and community clinics. 75% of NHS funds are used for this part.

Secondary medical care: refers to the hospital, which is responsible for the serious illness and surgical treatment, as well as the overall deployment of medical resources. At the beginning of its establishment, NHS played a very active role in improving people's health and was widely welcomed by the society. However, the problems and contradictions faced by NHS are more and more prominent, and the lack of funds and inefficiency have become the most important problems.

With the increase of population and the improvement of health quality requirements, NHS medical services are far from meeting people's medical needs. However, the huge organization has caused a serious waste of internal resources in NHS, low efficiency, a serious decline in the enthusiasm of medical staff, and people's dissatisfaction with NHS is increasing day by day.
