I agree with you that screening for diseases is a valuable tool for managing diseases . It is the role of the primary care to evaluate for risk factors for diseases . This means that healthy individuals should get into the habit of consulting doctors for regular screening for early detection of diseases . Many serious complications can be prevented if detected early . The life span of adults has increased because of this early screening policy .
