"Prevention is better than cure". Researching and treating diseases is too costly. So it would be better to invest in preventive measure To what extent do you agree?

There are two competing philosophies in the

health-care

the preservation of mental and physical health by preventing or treating illness through services offered by the health profession

healthcare

and pharma industries. One is to spend enough resources on both

cure

and

prevention

and the latter is to concentrate mainly on the

prevention

part as it yields long term benefits.

However

, in my opinion

,

Accept space

,

while I agree that

prevention

is a better long term strategy, there must be sufficient expenditure on the

cure

Suggestion

curative

aspect as well.

Also

, it would be cost effective as well.

Firstly

, there are millions of people who are already suffering from existing ailments, some of which are fatal. If most of the resources are spent on preventive measures for which there could be cheaper alternatives (for

exampe

an item of information that is typical of a class or group

example

Condoms for HIV),

then

millions of patients who are already suffering will meet a certain death.

Secondly

, preventive medicine

also

needs a

back up

an accumulation caused by clogging or a stoppage

backup

of

cure

. There were instances of failure on the preventive medicine part. Considering

this

, to completely eliminate a disease, wherever possible, a strategy with a combination of

prevention

and

cure

should be deployed.

Thirdly

, it is not cost effective to deploy all the eggs in one basket as well. Invested by organizations or not, the public expenditure would grow exponentially if a

cure

is not found in time.

In addition

to

this

, valuable productive hours of

working class

Suggestion

the working class

would be lost. Compared to

this

, the research spending would be much lesser. To conclude, while preventive medicine is a better way of dealing with a disease in the long run, investing in a

cure

for it definitely augments the welfare of patients and it will be cheaper as well.
