AIM & SCOPE
The concept of preventive medicine is not new, but its relevance has grown exponentially in today's fast-paced, technology-driven world. Preventive medicine is a specialized branch of medical science focused on preventing diseases, injuries, and health complications before they occur. It aims to promote and maintain overall health and well-being through proactive measures, including health education, disease surveillance, vaccination, and lifestyle modifications. By addressing risk factors and fostering early intervention, preventive medicine seeks to reduce the burden of illnesses on individuals and society. The book is born out of a desire to shift the focus of health professionals from treatment to proactive measures that enhance well-being, extend longevity, and improve quality of life.This book aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of various concepts related to preventive medicine. It covers trending diseases, immunization, nutrition, maternal health, occupational health, environmental issues, and the role of artificial intelligence in healthcare. Additionally, it addresses different public health initiatives and screening protocols, personal health management, and behavioural interventions. Our goal is to empower readers—whether they are medical professionals, public health advocates, or individuals seeking to improve their health.As you read through this book, we hope you discover valuable insights and find inspiration to embrace and advocate for preventive care in your personal and professional lives.
