Preventive care

What is Preventive Care?

This refers to healthcare services that are intended to prevent or detect diseases before they become more serious. Preventive care can include a wide range of services, such as routine screenings, immunizations, counseling on healthy lifestyle habits, and preventive medications.

Examples of preventive care services include regular check-ups with a primary care physician, mammograms for breast cancer screening, and colonoscopies for colorectal cancer screening.
