Prevention is better than cure. Justify the statement with three reasons.

Prevention is better than cure:

1. It is preferable to be protected from disease than to take its medication.
2. When a disease affects the body, it will either directly or indirectly disrupt the functioning of body organs.
3. The body may never recover.
4. A disease takes time to treat.
5. When the proper treatment is given, the patient is not completely recovered.
6. The person infected with an infectious disease will act as a conduit for the infection to spread to others.
7. Children have a weakened immune system and must be immunized.
8. The basic rules of health and hygiene must be followed in order to prevent diseases and hazards.
