"We've always been the party who founded the National Health Service and would do everything we can to secure the future of the National Health Service," Balls, who lost his seat in the Morley and Outwood constituency, said.
Balls underlined that the Labour Party will reemerge in the coming weeks and months, despite the tough night after elections, as the party lost 26 seats.
"We now face five years where questions will arise about the future of our union, about whether or not we can stay as a member of the European Union," he said, expressing other concerns about jobs, investment and the NHS.
Balls claimed that his party is internationalist, as they solve issues by working with other countries.
The UK general elections were held Thursday, and the election results are still being declared by constituencies nationwide. The Conservative party, Labour's main rival, is leading the vote, while Labour is second.
The NHS has been one of the hotly-discussed topics prior to the elections, as the vast budget cuts for NHS over the past year became a crucial issue.
