A person’s health is their own responsibility rather than the government’s responsibility. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

In these days, people do have more concerned about their

health

than before. There is a notion that everyone needs to take care of their

health

personally, while others believe

this

should be belong to

government

’ s responsibility. In my opinion, I strongly agree with the view that citizens should be aware of their

health

instead

of the authority.

Besides

, the

government

should

also

be responsible for the environmental factors and supporting

health

care services.

First

of all, the

government

need to be aware of the environment in their country.

For example

, in a developing country

such

as India, they need to assess the pollution level in the air where is nearby a factory or industrial area.

This

is quite essential as the

government

is the only one who has the power to stop illegal actions from factory if they do harm to the environment. It is not only about air pollution, but water

also

can be contaminated poisons, which affect seriously to people around that area.

On the other hand

, the

government

cannot take duty for caring

health

of everyone, but they have provide an array of choices for them to ensure a healthy life.

For instance

, the authorities use taxes to build hospitals, clinics and various services to serve their citizens. People will have to be aware of their

health

and the ones who understand clearly their physical body.

Therefore

, they can pick the most suitable service

instead

of appointment from the local authority.

This

will be more reasonable for patients having wide options than the enforcement from the

government

to treat their citizens. In conclusion, I believe that the

government

needs to take action to control pollution levels and other factors which may harm to citizens’

health

.

However

, it is important that every person is required to have a personal

health

check to ensure a healthy life by using a variety of services provided by the

government

.
