Preventive Healthcare

Preventive healthcare is an approach that focuses on identifying and addressing health risks before they escalate into more severe conditions. It includes activities such as regular checkups, screenings, vaccinations, and lifestyle modifications to maintain optimal health and prevent chronic diseases.

The importance of preventive healthcare cannot be overstated. By taking a proactive approach to health, individuals can avoid costly and debilitating medical conditions that negatively impact their quality of life. Furthermore, preventive healthcare can maximise on savings as there is significant potential to reduce healthcare costs associated with chronic disease management, hospitalisations and emergency services.

Enforcing regular check-ups will provide for early detection, allowing for timely intervention and more effective-prone treatments, which can prevent complications and potentially save lives.

These are NCDs that account for 71% of global mortality rates, some of which include:

In essence, preventive healthcare empowers individuals to take charge of their health and wellbeing more proactively, allowing them to lead a more fulfilling life.
