The National Health Service
The foundation of the National Health Service on 5 July 1948 was a momentous development in the history of the United Kingdom.

Today more than ever, all eyes are on this beloved institution as it continues to innovate and adapt to meet the challenges of providing national healthcare in the modern world.
