Prevention is better than cure. Researching and treating diseases is too costly so it would be better to invest in preventive measures. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Recently, governments all over the world started to put more effort

This
means that if governments focused on raising awareness of the public and added some education subjects to the students’ curriculum at schools about the health hazards of drinking, smoking, or eating fast food, there would be a significant decrease in death rates.
For example

Moreover
, the research to create a new medication to fight a certain disease costs too much money and the end results may be unsatisfactory. Recently, due to covid19 pandemic, most medical

Thus
