History:
Throughout the time, humans have been struggling to gradually move towards how to provide "health" and disease control through the acquisition of different experiences from different generations and communities.The expansion of societies and industrialization has encountered with new issues such as the spread of diseases, the occurrence of various epidemics, the emergence of environmental and workplace issues, migration, demographic issues, and mental health issues, and over time, the "prevention of medicine" domain has become more autonomous in the area of treatment-based medicine. 
Preventive medicine has evolved into its the evolutionary path as general public health in the areas of "disease control", "social engineering" and, ultimately, "health for all".
