Nowadays health is one of the most discussed topic all over the world.

It has always been an essential aspect, even from the old times when the Latin speaking people said Mens sana in corpore sano. ither it is about treatment, natural remedies or preventive solutions, everyone has their own point of view, considering that a healthy diet, lots of physical activity, no smoking, no alcohol abuse are !ust a few factors that can prevent people from getting sick. "o begin, in #$%%s a new medical approach appeared in order to define better what health is. &hould health be an easy concept to talk about, it would have never re'uired so much worldwide effort, conferences, research and debates. "he approach abovementioned refers to the socio(ecological view of health, that is the result of social, economical and environmental conte)ts that influence a person*s health and well(being. "herefore, this new tackling is still used currently in our society. "his represents, indeed, the main focus governments must always keep in mind whenever it comes to a individual*s well(being and health+ positive social norms, a secure and well(paid !ob, the right to social benefits, a family and , or friends. Nevertheless, would it be cheaper !ust to increase national awareness by health education and preventive measures- "he greatest result always starts from a good theoretical background, but in the end practical results are those who make the difference, therefore some e)amples will be provided. If cancer is the ma!or worldwide concern, prevention programs for targeted groups may help, and specific is the key word here, always addressing to a specific group, never to a general public. .owever important the prevention, the cure is !ust as important, sometimes even more, almost critical. /nce ill, a person needs treatment and medical cure, irrespective of the prevention methods, thus medical financial funding is re'uired for such cases. /ne can never state that the world does not need doctors anymore, simply because prevention measures have been taken care of. "o conclude, how governments decide to distribute the health budget is something essential to look at, given the fact that the funding is alloted as a conse'uence of the social needs. 0ut it must never be the treatment fund that is subtracted from for the health education and the preventive measures.
