What is disease prevention?</h3>
Disease prevention is defined as targeted, population-based, and individual-based treatments for primary and secondary (early detection) disease prevention with the goal of reducing disease burden and risk factors.
Primary health:
Actions aimed at preventing the onset of a disease are referred to as primary prevention (this may include actions to improve health through changing the impact of social and economic determinants on health; the provision of information on behavioral and medical health risks, alongside consultation and measures to decrease them at the personal and community level; nutritional and food supplementation; oral and dental hygiene education; and clinical preventive services such as immunization and vaccination of children, adults and the elderly, as well as vaccination or post-exposure prophylaxis for people exposed to a communicable disease).
Ways to promote health awareness:
- Vaccination of children, adults, and the elderly, as well as post-exposure prophylaxis;
- Information about behavioral and medical health concerns, as well as strategies to mitigate those risks at the individual and population levels;
- Disease prevention programs, such as access to preventive services (for example, counseling), should be included at both the main and specialty levels of health care.
Supplemental nutrition and food; and Oral health services and dental hygiene education.
