Staying healthy
Protecting your health is mainly a matter of understanding what causes disease and other problems so that you can take appropriate steps to avoid them. Modern techniques of immunization and screening offer protection against a wide range of illnesses. By taking advantage of these and combining them with a healthy lifestyle, you can safeguard your health not only for the present but for the future as well.
Health care throughout life
As well as treating disorders, primary health care providers are responsible for two important elements in preventive health care: checkups carried out during childhood and later in life, and screening tests to identify risk factors and early signs of disease. The past 50 years have seen an explosion in public knowledge about the causes of disease and a growing emphasis on health care that prevents as well as treats disease.
