In the United Kingdom, NHS stands for National Health Service.

They are government owned health providers and hospitals which provide free healthcare to British citizens (including English, Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish and overseas British territories).

The NHS is paid for through public British taxes. For that reason, foreign nationals cannot receive free healthcare (as of 2014) in the UK unless they have health insurance because they do not pay British taxes.
