Healthcare is a fundamental imperative to any progressive civilization. Even the most ostensibly primitive of civilizations have had there interpretation of health care and promotion. Granted, these were all based on their relative, contemporaneous understandings of health and welling. But the truth is still the same. Asgardia needs to a functioning Department of Healthcare and respective Ministerial staff.
Therefore, it is crucial to consider Article 11) 5 of the constitution, which states "Asgardia shall support its citizens in leading healthy lifestyles". Would it not be fair to assert that organising a system of at least primary healthcare is a constitutional right? For all Asgardian citizens?
Therefore I propose the creation of, initially, at least a Minister for Health. Who will prioritise the collection of evidence-based health related data, and make this information easily available to the citizens.
Furthermore, the Minister shall also seek to create a charitable arm of the Government, which in keeping with Article 17) 4) c. of the constitution, will at its core establish charitable and philanthropic healthcare to fellow citizens. Healthcare professionals, within Asgardia should seek to volunteer their time and resources to promote this effort. I myself, as a Registered Nurse, would happily forward the common good of Asgardia.
Unfortunately, we here many stories of people being unable to reach/access or afford even the most basic forms of healthcare. Bridging this gap would prove to the world, not our genuine resolve for the common good of man. Let us lead by example.
The world has so much bad news these days, and people searching for a compassion, that certain institutions of belief have failed to offer these days. Well let's make them believe in us, in the future. In, Asgardia!
