Bupa (pronounced /buːpə/) is a large British healthcare organisation, with bases on three continents and more than ten million customers in over 200 countries. It is a private healthcare company, in direct contrast to the UK's National Health Services, which are tax-funded healthcare systems and do not require private health insurance in order to gain access to hospitals and medical services. Bupa also runs its own hospitals, which are medically accessible only to those in the UK who hold private health insurance policies or who can pay.
