Every country should have a free health service, even if this means that the latest medical treatments may not be available through the service because they are too expensive. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Many people believe that free

medicine

should be available in every

country

, even if it is impossible to carry out advanced procedures. I disagree that

medicine

should be free because it will lead to a

lack

of quality treatment in remote cities, creating a demographic crisis.

Firstly

, if medical

care

is free, the state would more than likely not be able to provide medical services in all cities, and people would have to travel long distances to large cities to treat even minor diseases.

For example

, even in

this

day and age, in some regions of the Russian Federation, there are places where only basic treatment is available, and for advanced surgery or screening, you need to travel for a few days.

This

situation

also

rings true for many countries that are not fully developed. In parts of Africa, Asia and South America,

health

care

can be a very long way from where you live.

Additionally

, with free

health

care

, a government, which funds everything from the taxes it collects, will not be able to attract qualified medical staff or acquire the necessary equipment.

This

lack

of comprehensive

health

care

makes more advanced countries more appealing, and people will consider emigrating to other countries.

Additionally

, without adequate funding and salaries, there will be no young people who want to study to become doctors. They would prefer to practice

medicine

in countries that could afford to pay them. Even foreign doctors will not seek work in a

country

that has insufficient finances for their

health

care

system and because of poor working conditions and

lack

of required instruments.

Moreover

, medical institutions will not be able to provide necessary operations due to a

lack

of needed operating and outpatient rooms.

For instance

,

this

lack

of medical equipment and personnel could lead to a situation similar to that in Africa, where, according to the World

Health

Organization's latest data, every 15 seconds a person dies. In conclusion, a

country

's full development is possible only with paid

medicine

so that people from all over the

country

can get quality services, and the state can reduce mortality.
