Preventative Health
Preventive 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 slows down the deterioration of the disease. Regular check-ups, screening tests, and immunization can help prevent diseases. Prevention is 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.
