Screening is a method of finding in people who do not yet have any signs of symptoms of the disease being screened for.

Preventive Healthcare also involves health promotion, which is aimed at modifying the individual’s social circumstance and lifestyle so that their health is improved for maintained and disease is prevented.

Another aspect of Preventive Healthcare is the early identification of high-risk individuals prone to major life-threatening illnesses like disease and cancers. Your age, health and family history, lifestyle choices (i.e. what you eat, how active you are, whether you smoke) and other important factors all impact what and how often you need services and screenings and help in deciding when to take timely, precautionary lifestyle modification measures or treatment.

The ultimate goal of screening is to help people live longer, healthier lives.
