Some people think governments are responsible for peoples health, others believe its an indiviuduals responsibility. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

    Healthcare remains a very crucial part of out basic amenities. The topic of whether or not people or the
government
should be held accountable for issues
partaining

pertaining
to
health
,  remains very controversial. In my opinion, the
government
should be solely in charge of the
health
of its citizens at all times.     On one hand,
health
care as well as the funding for the research into cures and vaccines are expensive. Private firms and singular entities cannot bear the burden alone.
Furthermore
, the cost of hospital admissions, investigations and medications would cripple the finances of the individual without
governemt
the organization that is the governing authority of a political unit
government
aid and policies. All fingers are not equal,
therefore
, the
government
plays a huge role by providing subsidized care to patients in its publicly funded facilities.
For example
, data from a survey carried out by the World
Health
Organization

in Nigeria

,
in 2013, revealed that many Nigerians depend entirely on the
government
to access excellent medical care.     
On the other hand
, people are the masters of their bodies. Most diseases in the world today are preventable,
that is
, they are mostly caused by poor lifestyle choices. Individuals should

inculcate
the habit of proper diet, exercise and regular medical checkups to keep fit and
also
  to detect illnesses

in
the early stages.    In conclusion, while some are of the opinion that governments should be responsible for
health
, others are of the school of thought that it rests on the individual. I believe that it is the  responsibility of governments to cater for the
health
of all its nationals.
