What Is Preventive Healthcare?
Preventive healthcare involves medical practices, screenings, vaccinations, lifestyle interventions, and health monitoring designed to prevent disease before it develops or to detect conditions at their earliest and most treatable stages.
Rather than focusing solely on treating illnesses, preventive medicine emphasizes maintaining good health, reducing risk factors, and improving long-term outcomes.
