Hi
@cansha, please review and guide; thanks
"Prevention is better than cure". Researching and treating diseases is too costly so it would be better to invest in preventative measures.
To what extent do you agree?
It is often believed that researching and treating diseases is too expensive so it is wise to invest in preventative measures. I strongly disagree that only investing in preventative measures is optimal. However, it will be beneficial to spend money in research to save money for expensive treatments, and overcoming serious global healthcare issues where a specific disease is spread on the larger scale.
To begin with, thoroughly investigating diseases is more likely to save money and time while treating chronic diseases where treatment costs are generally higher. In other words, cost of treating any disease depends upon available medicines and procedures. However, if there is no treatment available there will be higher medical bills for people because of multiple treatments in the wrong direction. Nowadays, for instance, people who are suffering from HIVs have proper access to extensive range of cheap medicines which, on the other hand, was impossible if people had not invested in research.
Another reason of spending money in research and treating diseases is to excel well in the medical field. Where finding a cure means an advancement in healthcare. Therefore, we are fixing our common health related issues. For instance, people all over the world have successfully reduced the cases of Polio and Malaria. Due to these severe diseases number of people had got killed in the last few decades. Only because of researching the in-depth root cause of these issues opens up new opportunities to reduce or completely vanish these problems. Hence, this money invested for a good cause will surely be beneficial on the longer run.
Finally, at any point, diseases can spread widely among people, leaving many of them sick. In such scenarios, it is impossible to take care of each and every one. However, if we have a treatment for that specific disease. It is easier to overcome such global issues without further wasting money in the wrong treatment. For example, in the past, Dengue had been widely spread in the North India due to rainy season, but only because doctors had injections to boost the immunity, and ways to increase platelets count, they managed to save thousands of lives with ease and economically.
In conclusion, benefits earned by spending money in research and treating chronic diseases immensely advantageous for the people and society as a whole.
