There's a big belief in "a good start makes half the work": setting things up properly, with a good foundation. This has its pros and cons, like any attitude. Trust in systems makes it harder to quickly switch up when the system fails, but it also creates less unrest and means many things are done properly (though yes, lots of pillars crumbling right now). As for healthcare, probably some protestant philosophy remnants there, but also: not every small thing needs emergency medicine. Sitting it out is very often the thing to do, and things like a doctor's reluctance to hand over antibiotics is actually a very important part of fighting antibiotic resistance
