preventive healthcare
Wellness before illness
Preventive healthcare refers to medical practices aimed at avoiding disease rather than treating it after onset.
This includes vaccinations, screenings, regular checkups, and lifestyle counseling.
The approach emphasizes early detection and risk reduction: Preventive healthcare saved her life—the mammogram caught the tumor early.
