"Prevention is better tha cure". Researching and treating diseases is too costly so it would be better to invet in preventive measures. To what extent do you agree.

Healthcare

systems around the world are burdened by the ever-growing population number of those with non-communicable diseases

such

as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, which is more so for developed countries where food habits are much unhealthier compared to developing countries.

This

bares a huge

cost

on any economy and

hence

prevention is certainly better than cure

however

, research is required to determine the best treatment methods and

this

is a

cost

that cannot be avoided. The

Cost

of

Healthcare

can become quite burdensome on a country

furthermore

, it is the role of governments to encourage the healthy living of its citizens, by means of encouraging preventive

healthcare

systems. Few countries around the world as Sri Lanka have a free

healthcare

system where it encourages people to keep healthy at almost no additional

cost

,

this

in return has a direct positive impact on the

healthcare

sector.

Furthermore

, I believe it is of the utmost importance that workforce stress levels are minimized as

this

is known to cause a number of other complications.

This

could be done by means of encouraging society to get help when required without having to hide emotions and building stress levels due to various reasons both in the workplace and in their personal lives. In conclusion, good health is a basic human right and a government needs to provide the most basic facilities its people require to live a healthy life, be it food habits, agriculture, managing work stress etc. Managing these could help drastically reduce the burden of

healthcare

as a whole.
