Unfortunately, the western world is moving toward a more right wing approach to solving problems and that does not bode well for the NHS. A slow but steady decline in government support for the NHS has done great damage coupled with Covid, and of course a lack of forethought when it comes to training enough young people to go into the medical profession. Modern medicine, and healthcare systems are suffering across the globe to be honest. What Americans along with other first world countries failed to understand is that we need to keep investing in our systems, but capitalism encourages the opposite. Thus, the glories of becoming a first world country are beginning to diminish as we struggle to stretch our antiquated systems to meet the needs of modern societies.
