in analysing patient's illnesses or further treatment. For example, The introduction of X-rays and
MRI scans reveals the inside components of the body system without surgery, hence achieving
accurate results. This approach relies on clinical data and research to make informed decisions
about patient care.
Furthermore, treatments have also been improving with the use of medicines to help manage
many health conditions, such as hypertension. On the other hand, surgery has been made less
invasive due to the introduction of new techniques, which means squealer recovery for patients.
Preventive medicine mitigates diseases through vaccination, public health intervention and
lifestyle interventions, thus building immunity against viruses. Public health campaigns that
promote lifestyle changes and advocate for behaviour that reduces risk factors associated with
chronic diseases have also been brought to the forefront.
There has been a revolutionisation of patient care through telemedicine, which expands access to
healthcare by allowing consultations and follow-ups to occur remotely or over the Internet. This
has been particularly important during the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring continuity of care
while reducing the risks of virus transmission.
In conclusion, medicine is a complex field that continuously adapts to new scientific discoveries
and technological advancements, with its primary goal of alleviating suffering and improving
human health. Despite the increasingly ethical, practical, and scientific challenges, medicine will
undoubtedly face its commitment to strengthening human life, which will drive innovation.
