|
Emphasizes disease prevention and management by focusing on root causes, aiming to reduce recurrence. This proactive approach enhances overall health and reduces long-term healthcare needs.

|
Orientation |
Doctor-centered: Decisions are mostly driven by medical expertise, with limited patient input. This can make patients feel less involved.

Treatment Approach |
Predominantly relies on drugs and surgery as first-line treatments, which may lead to side effects and dependency on medications.

Hospital Visits |
