“Prevention is better than cure”. Out of country’s health budget, a proportion should be diverted from treatment to spending on health education and prevention measures. To what do you extent do you agree or disagree?

We have often heard

this

phrase from childhood that "Prevention is better than cure" for having a healthy life. In the same way, people

also

feel that the same approach applies to

country

's

health

budget where not all the money should be invested on treatment

instead

certain funds should

also

be allocated for medical education and precautionary measures to tackle pandemics. I completely agree with it as a

country

needs to have a strong

health

care system and

health

education system in order to be ready when difficult situations arise.

Firstly

, when there is no proper

research

being done on a disease it gets highly difficult to find a medicine to cure it and in turn loss of lives continues.

For example

, various types of cancer exist in today's world where still there is no medical treatment to cure them and many doctors try to treat them without proper

research

but eventually patient suffering from it dies.

Hence

, it's very important that the government should set-up new medical institutions where

research

on non-curable diseases can be performed to save precious lives.

Secondly

, preparedness to handle worst-case situations during the time of pandemics is

important step to safeguard citizens during that phase.

For instance

, when Covid-19 started to spread in India it was

this

time when people realized how poor medical infrastructure is to deal with

this

menace. Lack of facilities in hospitals like limited oxygen supply, no proper beds, few doctors to treat affected people ,etc were some indicators to show the helpless

health

care system of the

country

.

Therefore

, a

country

should always keep aside certain funds to improvise preventive measures. To conclude, many people lose their close ones because of various unknown diseases and some due to lack of medical help during the time of pandemics.

Hence

, the government should spend more towards constructing new medical facilities where

research

and treatment go together and

this

also

increases employment opportunities for entry-level doctors.
