Preventive medicine is more important than curative medicine in the long run.It saves more lives, dramatically reduces suffering, and is far more cost-effective.
Most major causes of death (heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, COPD) are heavily preventable through lifestyle, early screening, and vaccination. Treating advanced diseases is expensive, painful, and often only partially successful.Key comparison Prevention: high impact, low cost per life saved
Treatment: high cost, lower overall population health impact
Modern public health history proves that clean water, sanitation, vaccines, and tobacco control have saved hundreds of millions more lives than all hospitals combined.Related websites
