Prevention is better than cure. Out of a country’s health budget a large proportion should be diverted from treatment to spending in health education and preventive measures. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is a fact that preventing from being sick is more beneficial than

treatment

.

Governments

by increasing the budget for training healthy lifestyles and investing in

this

sector will be benefited rather than spending on caring for and curing patients.

Firstly

, investing in

health

education and public awareness, help to reduce diseases and save money. Costs of

treatment

and hospitals are high in most countries,

additionally

,

treatment

has a huge cost for

governments

too. Because

governments

want to equip hospitals with sophisticated medical technologies and equipment.

Therefore

, these tools put a huge burden on

governments

.

For example

, the number of diabetics is increasing, in my country, while awareness and education can prevent or keep the speed of incidence of diabetes or heart disease.

Such

steps toward

health

education will help to reduce the cost of

treatment

and the number of patients in near future.

Secondly

, Several

governments

combat some diseases

such

as poor sanitation, viruses, and heart diseases. While prevention help to reduce the infection of

such

problems

,

Remove the comma

apply

show examples

if

governments

do some actions.

For example

, some

governments

can make more parks, gyms and fitness buildings with lower costs rather than making more

health

centres. The more people exercise, the fewer heart disease and diabetes will happen.

This

may enable informing and educating the public about their

health

, and above all, by allocating a portion of the budget to preventive measures to heighten public awareness. In conclusion, I agree with increasing the budget for educating people having a healthy lifestyle and doing preventive measures rather than spending on equipping hospitals and

treatment
