Healthcare includes three elements – primary care, secondary care and tertiary care.

— Simply explained – primary care is the care that you receive when you go to see your family physician. For instance, you may have some problems like headaches and vomiting, and you go to consult with him/her for a prescription of some pills.

— If you have serious concerns – for instance, you have felt a lump in your breast, the family physician will send you to a specialist, where you will receive secondary care. These professionals are cardiologists, surgeons or dermatologists. Most of the times they work in hospitals that are why secondary care is used as a synonymous to hospital care.

— Tertiary care is a consultation for patients who had a cancer or who had burns on their bodies and need professional support. Although these patients may be physically cured, their psyche needs to be cured as well.

Therefore, it is very essential to care of your health. With advancement in the field of medical science, there are a lot of diseases that have been already eradicated and many are being cured. It is always better to be careful as it has been said, ‘Prevention is better than cure.’
