National Health Service

Japanese: 国民保健サービス - こくみんほけんサービス(英語表記)National Health Service
National Health Service
The system implemented in the UK under the National Health Service Act in 1948 aims to provide comprehensive health care free of charge to all residents. It is also called the National Health Service (NHS). There are two main methods of health care insurance: the social insurance (health insurance) method, which is rational in covering medical expenses, and the health service method, which is more suitable for covering health care itself, including prevention and rehabilitation. There are few examples of the latter method being adopted in developed capitalist countries, and the UK's system is a prime example of this.

包括的な保健医療を全住民に無料で提供することを目的に,イギリスで1948年から国民保険サービス法に基づき実施されている制度。ナショナル・ヘルス・サービス,NHSともいう。医療保障の方法には,大別して医療にかかった費用の保障に合理性を発揮する社会保険(医療保険)方式と,予防やリハビリテーションをも含めた保健医療そのものの保障に適した保健サービス方式とがあるが,先進資本主義国で後者を採用する例は少なく,イギリスのこの制度はその代表例となっている。
