It is true that prevention plays an integral role. I think that prevention doesn’t guarantee the avoiding of diseases; however, this reduces the chances of diseases.
On the one hand, investing in prevention is crucial. Prevention will reduce the number of infected persons and will eliminate some diseases. However, this can’t fully avoid us from these diseases, and because of investing the major part of money in prevention, there will be a lack of money for cure. In consequence, the number of people who died from diseases will increase. So, I think the government should divide the budget equally in order to hold the balance.
On the other hand, investing in prevention can create a healthier population over generations, so this will reduce the long-term healthcare costs. By implementing measures, such as vaccinating programs, health education, and initiatives promoting healthy lifestyles, individuals are less likely to develop chronic diseases, such as diabetes or heart diseases. This approach leads to a healthier population, where fewer people suffer from preventable diseases. As a result, pressure on the healthcare ministry will reduce, and hospitals and medical professionals will not be overwhelmed with these illnesses. Moreover, a healthier population leads to better productivity in the country, which is very essential for the government.
“In conclusion, investing in preventative measures is an almost correct decision, but it can lead to an increase in the number of people dying from diseases.”
