Governments around the world spend too much money on treating illnesses and diseases and not enough on health education and prevention. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

It is universally acknowledged that governments use an extensive amount of their budgets to finance the

health

care system and the efforts made on trying to prevent

health

problems are no sufficient. I totally agree with

this

statement. Reasons to support

this

opinion will be stated in the

next

paragraph. On the one hand, though I agree governments blow enormous sums of money in medical management, I understand that it is quite difficult not to spend

this

money when saving

people

's lives. Primary care is a fundamental right and it should not be denied to anyone,

hence

a significant proportion from a country budget goes to guarantee

this

right.

For example

, diseases

such

as cancer can cause the death of thousands of

people

as it impairs different major organs of a human being and

this

is rather difficult to prevent.

Therefore

, it is essential to have a proper system that can support the community when affected by one of these illnesses and

this

is possible only with a high volume of money invested.

On the other hand

, there is a general consensus in raising

health

awareness together with prevention plans could greatly benefit the national economy and society's well-being.

Although

despite knowing about the importance of

this

fact, some governments are still not making enough efforts in providing resources to ensure everybody is aware of

health

dangers.

For instance

, vaccines were created in order to protect individuals from future diseases,

nevertheless

Add a comma

,nevertheless

show examples

due to some economic reasons, some countries can not guarantee that every child in the country is vaccinated as it corresponds.

Moreover

, the government should enforce that the population is well-informed about the dangers of unhealthy eating habits and an inactive lifestyle. The merge of these factors might lead to a significant decrease in sick

people

and

subsequently

, to a lower number of hospitalizations and use of medical facilities. In a nutshell, there are grounds for believing that local authorities prioritize the healthcare system in the national budget rather than focusing more on trying to prevent and aware

people

of the detrimental conditions that some unhealthy habits can place them in.

Although

a transition from the former to the latter is highly recommended,

this

is a major challenge for all.
