In the budget of a country , some think that the large part of money should be invested in health education and preventative measures instead of spending on treatment. In my point of view , although developing health education and preventative measures are effective to improving the health of citizens , there are still many people who have severe diseases who need special treatment. So allocating a small amount of money to do some early protection seems a proper way rather than there is little money and medicine to treat a disease.
Putting money to improve health education and preventative measures is an effective way to enhance people's health. In some places, especially rural areas, not too many people equip knowledge (there are not too many people equipped with knowledge) about health and have no idea (how to prevent diseases) to prevent the disease before , so it is important to educate them because they might not have enough money to get cured. If every citizen knows how to prevent illness, the quantity of ill people would decline so the burden (like building a free hospital and giving out welfare to the ill) on society would be lighter. For instance, the government can use the resources to strengthen the military instead of curing people.
Admittedly, there are still many people who get diseases because the prevention is not always useful and some diseases come with birth , so treatments are needed. As the transportation developed , people could travel all over the world , so did viruses. Diseases spread widely and fast while some people do not even get warned to take precautions. Finally, they will get ill, therefore improving the treatment is more important than health education and prevention due to it being urgent and demanded.
Overall, investing a large amount of money in health education and preventative measures is not a proper way because treatments are needed and practical. But putting a small amount of money into health education and
