The Healthcare System of the United Kingdom of Russia, Athens, Puerto Rico and Snelly

The Health Care System of the United Kingdom of Russia, Athens, Puerto Rico, and Snelly is the largest health care system on the planet of Gaban. Both incorporating privatized health care companies as well as free universal health care coverage covered by the budget that the Imperial Senate offers the Ministry of Health of the United Kingdom of Russia, Athens, Puerto Rico, and Snelly. A complicated and rigourous system, it works to offer free coverage to all citizens of the United Kingdom regardless of Sex, Race, or Athenian Religious Custom. Whether or not a citizen takes advantage of the system is a much heated debate both religiously and morally by the government.

History
Before the Unification of the United Kingdom, each kingdom had established it's own health care system. Some much more advanced than the other. For instance in the Kingdom of Russia, the Health care system was inept to cover all of it's citizens. Thus after the unification leaders in the Imperial Senate sought out the health care system that had exsisted in the Athenian Empire and made it much larger. Today it is the healthcare system that the United Kingdom sees.

Structure
The Constituion of the Empire of Gaban has the distinction of stating that the Health of the Nations Citizens is the Health of the nation in total. With that in mind the system is managed by the Ministry of Health of the United Kingdom of Russia, Athens, Puerto Rico, and Snelly. Within the structure are several regional systems of healthcare based on each of the constituent countries of the United Kingdom. Each Kingdom has it's own system of hospitals publicly and privately supported to offer medical care to all citizens. By Law all Citizens of the United Kingdom are offered free healthcare and health insurance. This includes all forms of medical care including dental, vision, and hearing.

Education
The Imperial Ministry of Health has a contractual obligation with the Imperial Ministry of Education to further the education of Doctors and would be doctors to provide further healthcare through out the United Kingdom. Together the two ministries regulate how many years of education are required and how licensing to practice medicine are ordered and required. Hippocrates Anatomy of the Shinto Body. is published by the Imperial Ministry of Health of the United Kingdom of Russia, Athens, Puerto Rico, and Snelly. Within it are the basic core principals of teaching students. Medical Education for Doctors are as follows: General Practice 4 years, Dental 3 years, Visual 2 years, General Surgery 5 years, Speciality Surgeries 8 years. These of course do not include the system of residencies in which new doctors practice under more experienced doctors.

Healthcare Facilities
All major cities within the United Kingdom have state run hospitals as well as private hospitals. Smaller cities and villages have clinics or traveling clinics which provide checkups and healthcare services across the United Kingdom.

Religion and Healthcare
Athenaism is the official state religion of the United Kingdom. As such religion and medicine play hand in hand with one another. Medicine is worshipped and practiced as a holy and divine part of life. Many Gods and Goddesses are dedicated to Medicine and as such faith is never a question in medicine. However Tellawowism strictly prohibits medical practice as it believes it goes against all moral judgment to go against the will of the Gods if someone is to die. Athenaism doesn't believe in those principals.
