Aneurin Bevan was a Welsh politician and a key figure in the establishment of the National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom. Born on November 15, 1897, in Tredegar, Wales, he became a member of the Labour Party and served as Minister of Health from 1945 to 1951. Bevan's vision was to provide healthcare for all citizens, regardless of their financial situation. Bevan's work in the post-World War II era helped shape modern British welfare policies. He was also a prominent advocate for social justice and workers' rights, contributing to the development of the welfare state. His legacy continues to influence healthcare discussions today.
