Abstract

In public health, prevention strategies are categorized into three levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary.

Prevention in public health is a critical focus area. Rather than solely diagnosing and treating diseases, public health emphasizes health promotion and disease prevention.

Prevention is key to maintaining a healthy population and reducing the burden of diseases.

Keywords:
