"Prevention is better than cure." Out of a country's health budget, a large proportion should be diverted from treatment to spending on health education and preventative measures. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

In the past years, there is an opinion that prevention is more useful than healing people. In my own point of view, the national health budget should be diverted equally: for medicine and
also
for educating people to prevent various types of illnesses.
To begin
with, in a quickly evolving world, diseases
also
evolve and bring new characters. Because of environmental pollution and ,overpopulation some simple illness
such
as sore is mutating and becoming more harmful to human beings.
For example
, many individuals thought that COVID-19 was a trivial sore.
However
, researchers have found that
this
can be dangerous and can lead to death.
Subsequently
, unpredictable viruses
such
as COVID-19 need finances to find a cure and do laboratory research.
Therefore
, different types of viruses and diseases appear
due to
a lack of hygiene. Some developing counties are not educated enough to know basics of the hygiene.
For instance
, several African counties do not aware of significance of the hygiene
due to
a lack of an educational system where students learn how to wash their hands and how it is important to clean groceries before consumption.
Therefore
, infection
such
as cholera attends in their life. In conclusion, In my opinion, counties health budget should be spent both, to improve medicine and to prevent various types of diseases.

Word Count

IELTS says that you should write a minimum of 250 words in writing task 2. If you go under word count you will lose marks in task response.

A very long essay will not give you a higher band score.

Aim for between 260 to 290 words in writing task 2. This will ensure a concise essay and will be realistic in terms of time management. You have only 40 minutes to write the essay and you need around 10 minutes of planning time, so you will not be able to write a long essay in 30 minutes.
