Nchapter 12, the author states “much more money is spent on the cure and control of disease than on the prevention of disease in the first place.” write a letter to the editorial board of your local newspaper or to your local politician either defending or rejecting that expenditure, citing the ramifications of choosing one over the other.

Respected Sir,

With due respect I would like to say that we spend a lot of money on curing diseases rather than the prevention of diseases. As we can predict, the cost of curing a disease is far more than preventing a disease. Then why not we take certain measure to promote cleanliness so that diseases can be prevented.

Kindly, take into notice that a supply of clean, filtered water is made to the house- holds. The water used by farmers for irrigation be clean so that fresh vegetables and fruits be available. In this way, there will be lesser people getting sick.

Thanks
