Points of intervention:

  1. Primary prevention: It means intervening before health effects occur, through

    measures such as vaccinations, altering risky behaviors (poor eating

    habits, tobacco use), and banning substances known to be associated

    with a disease or health condition.

  2. Secondary prevention: It includes screening to identify diseases in the earliest stages, before the onset of signs and symptoms, through measures such as mammography and regular blood pressure testing.

  3. Tertiary prevention: It involves managing disease post diagnosis to slow or stop disease progression through measures such as chemotherapy, rehabilitation, and screening for complications.
