Preventive healthcare is the practice of maintaining health and preventing disease before it starts. Rather than reacting to illness, it focuses on early detection, risk reduction, and health education. This approach not only enhances quality of life but also reduces healthcare costs in the long run.

Regular check-ups, screenings, and vaccinations are key components of preventive care. These measures can identify potential health issues early, when they are most treatable. For example, mammograms, colonoscopies, and blood pressure checks have saved countless lives through early detection.
