What Is Preventive Healthcare?

Preventive healthcare, also known as preventive medicine, focuses on the health of individuals and communities with the goal of preventing diseases, disabilities, and death. It emphasizes early intervention, regular screenings, and healthy lifestyle choices to stop health problems before they start.

Types of Preventive Care

01
Primary Prevention
Avoiding the development of disease (e.g., immunizations, lifestyle changes).
02
Secondary Prevention
Early disease detection to improve outcomes (e.g., cancer screenings).
03
Tertiary Prevention
Reducing the impact of an already established disease (e.g., rehabilitation programs).

Why Preventive Healthcare Matters?

Reduces Healthcare Costs

Chronic diseases like diabetes and heart conditions are long-term and costly to manage..

Improves Quality of Life

Detecting diseases early often allows for faster treatment and improved health outcomes.

Boosts Community Health

When more people in a community engage in preventive care, public health improves.
