Prevention is a term that is used very widely. In as much as the great
majority wants to prevent disease it comes, sad to admit, at a great cost.

Currently, our country has revolved around the health-care system that has
greatly depended on out of pocket costs as compared to other countries with
better health-care systems as they are built around government spending.

Sometimes we forget that medicine is an act of charity dependent on art and
skill. But I guess nowadays medicine has become more of a business and it
has become more defensive, which is saddening because this comes at the
costs of patients.

There is a need to make a stand regarding proper health-care system
delivery both in the clinician's point of view and as a national issue, to
make health-care more available to people at a lesser cost and to make
health-care unique/tailored to the needs of an individual and the nation.
