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?

It is often claimed that governmental expenditures on the treatment of diseases are too big,

while

health education is not financed at all. I disagree with

this

and tend to think that national governments spend quite big sums on their propaganda. It is undeniable that the world coped with the pandemic COVID-19 successfully not only with the use of modern drugs but self-isolation. Governments all around the world

with each other. There were a

lot

of informational campaigns devoted to self-isolation.

Moreover

, there are a

lot

of

people

who wear special medical masks nowadays. It was

also

a part of governmental propaganda against the spread of COVID-19.

In addition

, national ministries of health all over the world spent a

lot

of money on the prevention of venereal illnesses.

This

type of disease cannot be treated,

therefore

the only way to save

people

is to explain to them the importance of being accurate with different sharp tools.

This

campaign in the USA led to a reduction in the percentage of ill

people

.

However

, there is an opposite point of view.

It is clear that

African

countries

are extremely poor ,

consequently

, they do not have enough budget to create special educational programs devoted to prevention. Their first priority is to cope with existing but not hypothetical problems.

Moreover

, a

lot

of citizens of developing

countries

do not even have a TV to watch educational programs.

To sum up

, developed

countries

have an advanced system of prevention and provide their citizens with actual and useful educational programs,

while

developing

countries

do not have the ability to finance it.
