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?

There is no doubt, that only person can make a decision regarding what kind of lifestyle follows,
However
, the
government
should provide all different kinds of facilities to promote healthy routine. In my opinion, a decision to be healthy has to be made by a person, while the authority should support the good health of

the resident
.
To begin
with, it is a personal choice to drink alcohol or to smoke, as well as, eat healthy food and do regular exercise. Take,
for example
, cities where the park has free access, it does not matter for a person who did not choose to be fit. It means, that's a personal decision cannot be changed by the
government
. But it can stimulate a willing to be healthy.
Nevertheless
, even the
government
cannot take responsibilities for the right choice of the citizen, they can motivate by providing needed facilities, like parks, a sports complex, gyms.
For instance
, if there is no place in the city to do exercise or buy healthy food it is impossible for people to keep following a healthy path.

, the UAE
government
is giving money and valuable prizes for

inhabitant who lost weight, as there is high-level obesity among local people.
That is
a great example of people manipulation of a better life. Taking everything into consideration, I believe, that the main responsibilities of personal health belong to individuals but can be manipulated by the
government
.
Furthermore
, the
government
should stimulate a desire of keeping citizen healthy and help inhabitant to follow the right lifestyle.
