CONCEPT OF PREVENTION
TERTIARY PREVENTION
It aims to soften the impact of an ongoing illness or
injury that has lasting effects. This is done by
helping people manage long-term, often-complex

permanent impairments) in order to improve as
much as possible their ability to function, their
quality of life and their life expectancy.
