Responses to this question vary. As outlined below, some believe that altruistically, society should pursue disease prevention to improve health and save money.  These are noble goals, but I will demonstrate later that prevention does not always save money.  The desire to prevent NCDs probably is a repercussion of our efforts to prevent infectious diseases.  We have had great success in preventing communicable diseases.  This has led to an initiative to prevent NCDs.
