British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to reveal a comprehensive 10-year strategy on Thursday aimed at revitalizing the National Health Service (NHS), which he describes as being in crisis.
The state-funded NHS has struggled in the aftermath of COVID-19, experiencing annual winter pressures and labor strikes, resulting in long queues for elective operations.
Starmer emphasizes reform to manage the costs of an aging population without tax hikes, planning new health centers to alleviate hospital burdens and reduce waiting times while navigating challenges with the pharmaceutical sector and potential healthcare staff strikes.
