future pandemics. Because many are aware of various diseases and necessary preventive actions these days, I believe that government should rethink before splitting the allocation to invest in the education of the public and delegating force to take preventative measures.
Firstly

, nowadays many are striving to be healthy and investing a lot of energy and money to stay away from unhealthy situations. As per a recent study during the pandemic, the public depended more on the traditional treatment and prefered home remediations, rather than consulting the doctors and
this

led to a decrease in the number of people who visited Hospitals or medical centres drastically.
Hence

, I strongly believe that there is no point in shifting some percentage of the health account to other activities

as bringing awareness to the public and actions to prevent diseases.

Therefore
