A few generations back, individuals saw their doctors only if they fell sick or were critical. Currently, preventive healthcare has become popular because individuals have become a lot more aware & empowered regarding their health. Individuals seek medical suggestions about leading a healthy lifestyle. They have the urge to reduce the risks of several diseases or conditions by adopting healthy diet, weight & degree of physical activities.

Doctors have been requesting patients to avail regular checkups for staying at the top of health. They have been highlighting the vitalities of preventive measures as a means for lowering the patient’s numbers needing a medical treatment or a surgery.
