Prevention refers to the actions taken to avoid or reduce the likelihood of a disease or condition from occurring. Prevention is more effective and less costly than treatment. There are three main types of prevention: Primary prevention: involves taking steps to prevent a disease from occurring in the first place Secondary prevention: involves early detection and intervention to prevent a disease from progressing Tertiary prevention: focuses on rehabilitation and management of a disease or condition to minimize its impact and prevent complications.
