We heard about “prevention is better than cure” since our childhood – brushing of teeth twice to prevent tooth decay, washing of hands before eating to prevent stomach upset, do not eat uncovered roadside food items, get vaccine against polio to free from disability, get rid of stagnate water to prevent malaria-like that follow the life skills to avoid dangerous AIDS.
