Morphology
The meaning 'a service that provides medical care' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'healthcare' (medical services) with 'service' (assistance/work). This simple noun–noun composition follows a common, compositional pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Healthcare service comes from the words health (being well) and care (help from someone). Imagine a nurse or clinic helping a sick person, so it means 'a service that helps people stay healthy or get better'.
