含义: The National Health Service; Britain's publicly funded healthcare system.

国民健康服务（英国公共医疗系统）。

Servicio Nacional de Salud (sistema sanitario público británico).

国民保健サービス（イギリスの公的医療制度）。

국민보건서비스; 영국의 공적 의료 시스템.

The NHS is more than a healthcare system—it's a British institution, a source of national pride, and a perpetual political battleground. Founded in 1948 on the principle of healthcare free at the point of use, it employs 1.5 million people and treats millions annually. Brits have a complex relationship with the NHS: frustration with wait times coexists with fierce defence against perceived privatisation. 'Saving the NHS' is a reliable political rallying cry.

NHS是英国的免费医疗体系（就诊时免费）。'On the NHS'意味着通过公费医疗。'Going private'与NHS形成对比。NHS是英国人的国民骄傲。

El NHS es el sistema sanitario británico gratuito en el punto de uso. 'On the NHS' significa sanidad pública gratuita. 'Going private' contrasta con la atención del NHS. El NHS es motivo de orgullo nacional.

NHSはイギリスの受診時無料の医療制度。「On the NHS」は公的医療で無料という意味。「Going private」はNHSではなく民間医療を利用すること。NHSはイギリスの国民的誇り。

NHS는 단순한 의료 시스템 이상이다—영국의 제도이자 국가적 자부심의 원천이며, 끊임없는 정치적 논쟁의 장이다. 1948년 '진료 시점에서 무료 의료'라는 원칙하에 설립되었으며, 150만 명을 고용하고 매년 수백만 명을 진료한다. 영국인은 NHS와 복잡한 관계를 맺고 있다: 대기 시간에 대한 불만이 민영화에 대한 강력한 반대와 공존한다. 'NHS를 살리자'는 언제나 통하는 정치적 구호다.

起源与历史

The NHS was established on 5 July 1948 by Health Minister Aneurin Bevan, implementing the vision of the 1942 Beveridge Report. It was revolutionary—comprehensive healthcare for all, regardless of ability to pay. Bevan famously said he had to 'stuff the consultants' mouths with gold' to get doctors to accept the system.
