Beveridge Model
The Beveridge Model is a healthcare system where the government provides and finances healthcare services for all citizens. This model is named after Sir William Beveridge, who designed it in the United Kingdom after World War II. In this system, healthcare is funded through taxation, ensuring that everyone has access to medical services without direct charges at the point of care.
In the Beveridge Model, healthcare providers are often government employees or operate within a government-run system. This approach aims to reduce administrative costs and ensure equitable access to healthcare. Countries like United Kingdom, Spain, and New Zealand utilize variations of this model to deliver healthcare services to their populations.
