Homework p.50 ex.4

1) Russia is colored orange on the graph.
2) In Russia we have some health inequalities, unfortunately. For example, fee-for-service medicine allows us better service and treatment but you have to pay lots of money to get medical help you want. That's why people usually get free but not so good treatment.
3) Some diseases could be prevented easily. For example, if you don't want to catch a cold or a flu you should strengthen the immune system. There are lots of ways to do this, they are: hardening, prophylaxis and also some simple rules like washing your hands after coming from the street. You should also have a healthy lifestyle because a risk of different diseases decreases.
By the way, it's likely to have regular check-ups to prevent dangerous diseases such as tuberculosis.
4) The government can do lots of things to improve health.
The government should hold regular compulsory population's check-ups.
Personally, I think that it should propagandize healthy lifestyle. There are lots of methods to do that: holding sport events, holding lectures in schools, banning TV commercials which are connected with drugs, alcohol, cigarettes,
opening more cafes where we can eat healthy food not junk.
5) To improve health people should, firstly, decide do they want to do that or they don't. That's to say, people should choose the right lifestyle. Drinking alcohol, smoking, taking drugs are things which healthy lifestyle can't stand so people should give up bad habits. Also they should do more exercise, have necessary treatment from the first day of malaise or especially an illness, have regular check-ups.
