Шаблон:Use dmy dates Henry Gluckman (1893-1987) was a South African politician. He served as Minister of Health from 1945 until 1948. He was the country's first Jewish cabinet minister.[1] He was first elected to Parliament in 1938, representing the United Party.[2] A member of the party’s liberal wing, Gluckman was a proponent of racial equality and generous social spending.[3][4] Between 1942 and 1944, he chaired the National Health Services (NHS) Commission. He proposed the free provision of medical care to all South Africans. The NHS would be financed by a health tax. Although his proposal wasn’t ultimately adopted by government, it has influenced healthcare policy in the country.[5] He criticized his successor A.J. Stals, who he believed, had mismanaged the Directorate of housing, causing a shortage of sufficient shelter.[6]
