Primary Prevention
Primary Prevention involves taking proactive steps to prevent diseases before they start. This includes actions like getting vaccinated, changing unhealthy behaviors such as poor diet and smoking, and avoiding substances that are known to cause health problems. By addressing these factors early, we can stop diseases from developing in the first place.
Secondary Prevention
Secondary Prevention focuses on early detection of diseases, identifying them at their initial stages even before symptoms appear. This is achieved through screening methods like mammograms for breast cancer and routine blood pressure checks. These measures help catch diseases early, when they are often easier to treat and manage
