Prevention & Checkup

The word “prevention” is derived from the Latin verb “praevenire” meaning “to anticipate”.
In healthcare, the term prevention refers to all steps taken to prevent, delay or mitigate damage to someone's health. A distinction is drawn between different types of prevention: primary prevention includes generally useful measures such as health education, hygiene and vaccinations. The goal of secondary prevention is to identify diseases in risk groups at an early stage, and it includes such measures as prevention of cardiovascular disease and mammography and colonoscopy screening.
