Bismarck did create the first public health system back then and the model is called the Bismarck Model. The NHS is nothing like that though and is based on what's called the Beveridge Model after the man who proposed it:

Modern public health (which is sanitation essentially) was rolled out across the UK much earlier than anywhere else.

It is perhaps a mark of public health's incredible success that both replies think I was talking about the NHS.

Also, Bismarck invented the modern industrial state long before anyone else had realized this stuff was important.
