Health Care Provision

Introduction

B 1948, in 1948, after more than a century and after the reform of public health and the centennial of the first law on Public Health, was established by the service. It takes a unique position in British society because, firstly, ensure social welfare of the very large group of people, exercising care to them at all stages of baking life, and secondly, more than any other public institution implements the principle of welfare - care in the form of a solo service rather than a market commodity.

Profession, where success is associated with high technical achievements, is not attractive for aspiring doctors unable to contribute to scientific progress.
