Yet most public policy and political focus is on research and treatments that are "patient-centred" treatments of disease. Population aging and growing income inequality are triggering a rise in the incidence and duration of chronic illness, some of which can be prevented. At the same time, slow economic growth and deficit-challenged governments have triggered growing concern over the rising costs of health care. Population health interventions can improve health and offset income inequality. The bottom line? Our grandmothers were right: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. « Pensez à votre santé.
