n Chapter 12, the author states “much more money is spent on the cure and control of disease than on the prevention of disease i
n the first place.” Write a letter to the editorial board of your local newspaper or to your local politician either defending or rejecting that expenditure, citing the ramifications of choosing one over the other.
With due respect, I would like to say that in our society there are little measures taken to prevent diseases as compared to the measures taken for curing of diseases. We shall realize that the curing of diseases will become a lot lesser if we apply effective strategies to prevent diseases. If just the water supply to our house-hold comes clean, then this preventive measure will stop different kinds diseases to occur which will not have to be cured then. On the whole, the cost of prevention of a disease is lot lesser than the cost of cure of a disease. Hence, I will request you to kindly take measures on cleanliness and prevention of diseases in our society.
