Is prevention really always better than the cure?
before giving answer of this i would like to ask few question to you
1. Why let harm run its course when it could be avoided?
2. Is preventing harm really always the right thing to do?
Yet it can be a struggle to entirely accept this. we surely can't prevent every problem. For example we may always need some form of A&E to help plaster cast broken bones, or life boats to rescue people stranded at sea.
Take chicken pox for instance. There are vaccinations available for childhood chicken pox but these are not available everywhere or we all r not aware of it. The reason being is that it is better for children to contract it when they are still young rather than to increase the risk of the more severe shingles in adulthood.
3.There is also a rather more philosophical point, which is, who defines "harm" and who decides when to prevent it?
4. Equally, whose responsibility is it to do so?
At cmax health care centre we greatly welcome the calls for greater preventive investment, but we would argue that alongside this we need to have a much more nuanced understanding of how much spending we actually could and should divert to prevention and what our strategy should be for other areas of potential harm.
To help untangle some of these challenges and to enable the benefits of preventive investment to be realised, we are developing a strand of work to examine the innovations in prevention. This involves making the case for prevention, as well as practical resources, tools and methods to help make it a reality in different areas of public policy.
