Preventive services refer to healthcare interventions and treatments aimed at preventing disease, promoting overall health, and reducing the risk of illness or injury. These services can include routine screenings, vaccinations, counseling, and lifestyle modification programs. The goal of preventive services is to detect and treat health issues early on, before they progress to more serious problems. By focusing on prevention, healthcare providers can help individuals maintain good health and reduce the burden of chronic diseases on the healthcare system. Preventive services are an essential component of primary care and public health efforts to improve population health.
