There are many methods for prevention of disease.
Doctors have significant opportunities to provide preventative care
Doctors, particularly general practitioners, provide long-term and continuous care to many patients
often develop an ongoing relationship with them which can lead to an increased sense of respect and trust.
Doctors are not only aware of their patients’ medical conditions and concerns, but also very often the circumstances of their lives, and that of their families.
These factors make doctors pre-eminent in identifying the presence of risks to individuals’ health.
It is recommended that adults and children aim to visit their doctor for regular check-ups(even if they feel healthy),
to perform disease screening,
identify risk factors for disease,
discuss tips for a healthy and balanced lifestyle,
stay up to date with immunizations and boosters
maintain a good relationship with a healthcare provider.
A dispensary is an office in a school, hospital, industrial plant, or other organization that dispenses medications, medical supplies, and in some cases even medical and dental treatment
