Is promoting health better than cure?

I decided to start this blog for my health website: www.superhealthe.com
I am a registered nurse. At university I was a strong supporter of health promotion and disease prevention. I believe prevention is better than cure.
Recently we celebrated World Health Day. The theme was ‘Protecting Health from Climate Change.’ High carbon footprints are bad for health and the environment.
I am wondering what is important to consumers in matters related to health. How important is prevention in promoting health?
- How many of us believe that health should be a global issue.
- How many believe it is a health system.
- How many believe it is a community issue
I look forward to hearing from you.
