Necessary conditions for a socialist health service.
A socialist health service in a non-socialist society may be forced to stress care and rescue rather than prevention, health maintenance or the promotion of better health and more equal health status. A socialist health service ought to be 'integrated'. A socialist health service ought to provide universal and comprehensive care.
