If we observe the top causes of death in India , a majority of them can be easily prevented with some strong measures .

Example 1: Diarrhoea It is major cause of death in children - which can be prevented with proper hygiene and even with simple medication with out neglect ion even after an attack. But yearly lacks of Infants and children are dying of it.

Example 2: Heart attack 1st most cause of death in adults . Annual heart check up after 40 yrs can prevent half the deadth toll. Even awareness about the signs and symptoms that comes before an attack can make one alert and more than half the deaths can be prevented. If we implement a action programme regarding this with a good out come 75% of the deaths can be prevented in just 3 years.

Example 3:: Suicides To you believe it is among the top 10 causes of death in India. Majority of them are youth . Listing out the causes of suicides and individual and sensitive approach can bring confidence and wash away the thoughts of ending life.

Example 4 : Anaemia major of Indian women are anaemic. A simple supplementary feed or tabs can help them a lot. But no one are aware of it.

Like wise .........preventive health care decreases the total number of suffering , economic/professional loss due to hospitalisation and also the death toll and severity of a disease.

In the developed and even in many developing countries "preventive medicine" is given equal importance along with "curative medicine" .Even upto 40% of the health expenditure is spent on Preventive health care .But in India we are least bothered of this major aspect. Even 5% of funds are not being allotted for preventive care in India. That why many people are still dying here without even the cause being known.
