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.

Some people argue that the

government

of a nation is not responsible for public

health

, and it is a personal

responsibility

. I believe it is a duty of both. It is necessary that a person should look after its

health

;

however

, the

government

has a role to play in the well-being of the nation. At the onset, a healthy lifestyle is a personal duty, as nothing will work until you work. In a day-to-day life, there are many easy ways to keep yourself healthy and higher authorities have no control over it.

Firstly

, eat healthy home cooked food and avoid fast food.

Secondly

, fitness experts suggest at least thirty minutes of exercise a day can keep many chronic illnesses away.

Lastly

, have a required amount of shuteye at night. In the aforementioned suggestions governance has no role, they can only underpin it, but it is a personal

responsibility

.

For example

, a gym in all parks has been constructed by the Indian

health

ministry;

it will not help until people use it on their own. At the opposite end of the spectrum, the

health

sector of a nation requires its ruler's attention. When it comes to serious threats, expert supervision of doctors is most sought after. Invariably, having ill-managed public

health

sector,

then

citizens may not be healthy, no mater how hard they try.

Moreover

, moderate earners are unable to afford the fees of doctors and they die. It is a

government

responsibility

that they provide fellow citizens with the high-class hospitals and qualified doctors at a nominal fee. To illustrate, in India many dispensaries are established merely for the weaker sections of Indian society. In conclusion,

although

leading a healthy lifestyle is an individual's personal duty, a

government

should provide citizens with a basic and affordable

health

care system.
