PREVENTION
Averting a disease or ill-health before its occurrence
Control of Communicable Diseases in Men, 2013
PREVENTION
Actions aiming at eradicating, eliminating, or minimizing
the impact of disease and disability, or if none of these is
feasible, retarding the progress of disease and disability.
The concept of
prevention is best
defined in the context
of
levels of prevention; primary, secondary,
and tertiary
prevention.
Oxford Dictionary, 2008
