Preventive Medicine... Way Forward!

A professor of mine once said, "we are moving away from the era of curative medicine, into an era of preventive medicine". I believe him, for it makes sense.
The science of preventive medicine is so real and logical that when you understand it, then it cuts down the "overhead cost", attributable to curative medicine.

Preventive medicine, unlike curative medicine, is proactive in principle. It involves the staying away from the aetiologies or causes of disease condition.

In developed world, there are 3 levels of prevention. But in developing countries, there are actually 5 levels of prevention viz;

-General Health Protection
-Specific Protection
-Early Diagnosis and Prompt Treatment
-Limitation of Disability
-Rehabilitation

The proper implementation of these prevention options, would to reduction of preventable morbidity and mortality in regions, where standard hospital services are either not sufficient and affordable, or not existent. This is the way forward!!
