Answer:
Answer: (a) Public health services are run by the government while private health services are managed by the individuals or companies. (b) Public health services provide health care facilities either free or at a low cost so that even the poor can seek treatment easily.
The government can take steps to provide healthcare for all by:
Increasing the number of hospitals, healthcare centres and family welfare centres.
Organising free camps for check up of general public.
Organising Pulse Polio campaigns.
Spreading health awareness among common people through different means. Workshops, seminars and training camps can also prove to be effective ways.
