Need of the day - Government's role in health care

Need of Government's role in health care

Health means more than the absence of disease. It means that people remain healthy and free from diseases if they have access to clean drinking water and live in an area which is free from all types of pollution. Every individual would like to live and work in an atmosphere which is free from all pollutants and people also like to be active, energetic and live in good spirit.

Health and Hygiene

Good health is not all about a disease free healthy body but it refers to sound mental state also. In order to enable all citizens to have good health, the government has taken a lot of health care services.

In spite of the positive observations which prove that care is taken for maintaining the health of the public, there is a dark side too.

• There are countless malnourished children in our country who get very less food to eat.
• Waterborne diseases like hepatitis, cholera and diarrhea spread fast in the country due to the lack of clean drinking water.
• Millions of cases of the patients affected by malaria and tuberculosis are reported every year, which is evident that diseases like malaria and tuberculosis are wide spread.

The rural areas are more affected than the urban areas due to lack of clinics, hospitals, transport and communication, nonavailability of medicines in time, and delayed treatment of patients. All these lead to the death of people in villages. Let us find out why such situations exist and how government is tackling such scenario.

Lot of public health centers are set up in cities, towns and villages. Multi-specialty hospitals are set up in all metro cities. Some of the hospitals provide free medical services and low priced medicines. Other facilities like scanning, conducting tests are also provided for the public.

Steps have been taken to prevent contagious diseases like chikungunya, H1N1 virus, jaundice and dengue.In spite of all these facilities we find that the goal is not achieved.

Need of the day - Government's role in health care

It is necessary that the government should play a more active role in providing the health care services to all its citizens in all corners of the country.

Medicines and medical facilities have to be provided by the government. Efficient doctors, nurses and various professional must be appointed. Different types of illness must be prevented.

Government should ensure that health centres, hospitals, laboratories for testing, ambulance services, blood banks, maids and nurses are to be provided for all the people. It is essential that government should take the above steps seriously because a nation progresses only when its citizens are hale and healthy.
