I know it sounds a bit vague. Even though it might not cure something or give immediate results, it is more about preventing a disease or nipping it in bud. It would aid people in understanding the risk factors of a disease, avoid smoking or drug intake, undergo routine clinical checkups and screening. The incidence of many diseases have silently increased about 5-6% over past 5 years. It could be possible to totally eradicate some diseases just by adopting simple alterations in lifestyle and dietary intake and sanitary habits. We definitely do not want leave behind a unhygienic and unhealthy world for future generations.
