Find Your Perfect Plan TodayBupa - which stands for the British United Provident Association - was established on April 3, 1947, initially aimed at "the prevention, relief and cure of sickness and ill-health of every kind.” Prior to the launch of Britain's National Health Service in 1947, the health care system was partially voluntary and partially state funded. The health system model was founded on Provident clubs from the early 1920s. An example of these clubs was the British Provident Association, organised by notable doctors and hospital administrators aimed at providing healthcare insurance in the UK for industrial workers and those on limited incomes during sickness.
