The spectrum of healthy living involves many aspects, such as mental, social, physical, and spiritual. Some say the Government has a role for preventing sickness by reducing environmental pollution . In my opinion, I am in between the notion the Government can work by setting up policies to reduce pollution drastically and should also face the healthcare sector.
Foremost, preventing illnesses can be achieved by setting up policies that would curb pollution. The Government should place more taxes on companies that produce fumes in any production. Also, policies that ban companies from setting up their offices in residential areas. For example, in Pakistani, due to the high volumes of production in oil in surrounding there has been a high rate of cancer patients. I believe this can be reduced by implementing laws to cushion the effects.
Furthermore, the Government should also be involved in improving the healthcare sector. As human beings, we tend to have a breakdown of body systems due to different factors. I believe that having a standardized healthcare facility will go a long way in preventing illnesses. For example, most developed countries have low mortality rates due to immediate response to emergencies and accessible healthcare facilities.
In conclusion, I believe that the Government should not only focus on reducing pollution and housing problems by implementing rules. But it should also be directed towards having a world-class healthcare facility to curb diseases.
