Comprehensive Healthcare
The word comprehensive means of “large scale” or “all inclusive”.
In a healthcare setting comprehensive care refers to the entire picture of the patients’ health and not to a specific problem.
Comprehensive care includes a complete analysis of the patient’s past medical history, family health traits and/ possibility of any risk factors due to an unhealthy lifestyle in order to prevent any problems before they occur.
Comprehensive healthcare puts more emphasis on the prevention of a possible illness, thereby reducing the discomfort and the overall cost of treatment in future.
