Preventative Health
Preventative health is the key to staying healthy. It focuses on the disease that can be detected early to reduce the patient’s suffering from the illness, and also to slow down the deterioration of the disease. Many ways can be used to prevent diseases, such as regular check-ups, screening tests, and immunization. Prevention is more superior to treatment; therefore, we need to be conscious of the concept of preventive health and take early action to avoid disease and improve the quality of life.
