“Prevention is better than cure”. Researching and treating diseases is
too costly so it would be better to invest in preventive measures. To what
extent do you agree?
Today medical research and
treatment is so costly that often people strongly suggest that we should
prevent these diseases from occurring instead of treating them after happening.
Up to certain extent I agree with the above view but also think that we should
continue our medical research to tackle some new diseases that have no
treatments yet.
To begin with, it is not at all
possible to prevent all diseases. Some of the developed countries are still
suffering from poverty and often people eat unhygienic food so there are more
chances of sickness among them. It is almost impossible task for any country to
completely prevent these diseases. As a result, it would be always beneficial
to treat them and do some research so that we can at least have some valid
method and treatment for each and every illness. One best example of this is
recently happened Ebola outbreak in Africa. No one had ever imagined it and it
was quickly spread to some of the African countries. If we had proper research
and treatment of this disease then we could save thousands of lives. So we
should invest our time and money in the medical research and treatments to
tackle such life threatening illnesses.
On the other side, we should also
take necessary steps to prevent these diseases. We all know that, today medical
treatment cost is so high that even middle class person cannot afford it.
Furthermore, some diseases progress to other people using various medium and as
a result it is really hard to stop them. Apart from this, by preventing
diseases, we can save people from severe experiences of these diseases. One of
the best examples of how we can prevent diseases is Polio. By proper,
systematic, and well-defined plan, now most of the countries of the world
become Polio free. Even India and China who are the world’s most populous
nations also have got success on it.
In conclusion, medical research on
diseases and preventing them to occur, both have equal importance and we should
equally focus on both areas to make our lives healthier, livable and enjoyable.
