It is the responsibility of the government to prevent and treat illness and provide proper health facilities like health centres, hospitals, laboratories for testing, ambulance services, blood banks and so on for all people.
These services should be within the reach of every patient from the remotest corners. But doing all this on a large scale is a herculean task in a huge state like Uttar Pradesh, which is why the government has come up with the innovative solution of setting up Arogya melas in each district.
