Class7 role of the government in health
This document discusses the role of government in providing public health services in a democratic country. It explains that people expect the government to ensure access to clean water, a pollution-free environment, adequate food, and mental well-being. The government provides public health services like primary health centers and district hospitals to treat illnesses for all citizens at low cost through tax revenue. While private health services are more expensive and available mainly in urban areas, the government has a duty to ensure everyone's right to life and access to necessary treatment.
