Concerning health indicators, including average lifespan, infant and maternal mortality rates, underscore the urgency for proactive healthcare measures. Preventive healthcare, through regular screenings, vaccinations, and health education, becomes imperative to detect and intervene early in potential health issues, reducing the reliance on costly treatments or hospitalizations.
