As said in the Tshiluba language: “Budimu mbuhita buanga” (Prevention is better than cure; mieux vaut prévenir que guérir [FRENCH]). The Tshiluba language is spoken in Kasai in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
It is reported that Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America, said in 1736, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” He was speaking of the prevention of fires in Philadelphia.
A strong prevention program is a critical success factor in developing strong and healthy communities.
