Despite organizing awareness camps and educating people on the importance of prevention, many remain reactive to diseases. For instance, while everyone is aware that visiting the dentist every six months to a year can help prevent problems, most only go when they are in pain.
It’s important that we change this mindset.

Absolutely, if after taking preventive measures at primary level, one can prevent himself or herself by various diseases then why not!?
Yet it is undervalued. As it is pattern of most of the individuals that they react when something happens instead of taking actions earlier.
It can only be done by aware the people about health education and specific preventive measures. Along with that, early diagnosis by regular diagnostic and screening tests for early interventions.

You’ve hit on such a crucial point. Our system often feels reactive, waiting for illness. Shifting to proactive prevention through screenings, counseling, and risk reduction is absolutely essential. It’s about empowering healthier lives before problems even begin.

Yes, our healthcare system is often reactive. Greater emphasis on screenings, counseling, and risk reduction can prevent diseases early. A proactive approach promotes long-term health and reduces the burden on healthcare systems.
