      Prevention is a proactive approach to healthcare that emphasizes the importance of early intervention and risk reduction.28. Prevention goes beyond individual actions; it also involves creating supportive environments that promote healthy choices. It's about shaping communities, workplaces, and policies to prioritize prevention.
