Prevention of diseases
What are the benefits of preventing diseases?
Many diseases can be prevented. Some are prevented with vaccines (polio,
diphtheria, whooping cough, hepatitis, measles), others with hygiene of people
and housing (dental caries, diarrhea, intestinal parasitism) and others require
special care (sexually transmitted diseases, Infarction, AIDS, accidents) but in
all cases prevention depends more on what you do or stop doing than on what
doctors and health services do.
Preventing is much cheaper than curing; But also, with prevention, it avoids
losing days of work, vigor and energy, the permanent damages that many
diseases cause and above all, to lose life.
Remember: prevention of the most serious diseases depends on yourself. Next,
let's show you which diseases you need to pay the most attention to and how
to prevent them.

preventive actions needed to protect and improve health; establish how to do
the actions and determine when and where.
