Social Security: Health

“Health is wealth”, but today there are millions of Indians who are being exploited, robbed of this special wealth. Yes we are in a situation where endemic epidemics, mass unawareness and barbaric exploitation have gripped our nation. It certainly questions our position of being the golden bird of the world. Have not our golden wings been snatched away? There are billions of people who are fed by those farmers who work to the best of their ability and produce crops for us, and thus, it's obviously our responsibility to care for those farmers also. We in turn, can at least give them social security. But, how selfish we are that besides, not providing them social security, we also exploit them in such a way that they suicide, farmers are just a single example in this seemingly endless list.
We live in a society of interdependence and thus it's the sole responsibility of this population of billions to take care of every individual of the society. At least proper health care food and quality education should be provided to every Indian so that he or she may proudly say, "Yes, I am an Indian".
Although we have various government hospitals and many projects and programs for the poor but they are not implemented. The hospitals look as a hell of despair and thereby not a single individual wants to get treated there. We need to have proper maintenance of the hospitals and to root out corruption which has crept into every sphere of life. There should be an easy access to free medicines and the required quality should be necessarily maintained. Further more, the approach should be more oriented to wards a healthier society rather toward treatment of different disease. Yes, if in the worst case, somebody is affected by some kind of disease, proper healthcare facilities should always be there.
Last but not the least, every individual should make it clear in their minds that, for any epidemic as a problem, there is a panacea and that is quality education. Thus, we should always rely on the last, "Educate all and you'll see a change".

Is our education System ensuring today, that people like Amit Kumar do not get MBBS degrees? What virtues are those people made of who all have been an accomplice in this heinous crime? Can this education ensure that if not evry product of it but atleast 50 percent will act with moral integrity when they grow up to hold key positions in the society. Doctors who are perceived to be next only to God, are acting with such barbaric attitude towards fellow beings. In the scenario, where can an ordinary citizen find the Social Security of Health? can we sit back at home and be rest assured that the doctors which this education system is producing deserve to hold such a revered positon like this.

“Health is wealth”. In our vast country India many people suffer from one health problem to other. Many children die before their fifth Birthday. How can you expect a child to perform up to the expectation if he is not fit? Health is the basic social security and right of the people. Are our so called ‘Educated’ ministers, so helpless that they are not able to provide proper hospitals and health facilities to people?
