What does PHHS mean in HEALTHCARE

Preventive Health and Health Services (PHHS) are interventions, services and programs that are designed to promote overall health, prevent disease, and improve physical and mental wellbeing.

PHHS covers a wide range of activities including vaccinations for children, providing access to healthy foods, screenings for chronic diseases, as well as many other preventive services.

Depending on the country or region where the service is provided, providers can range from primary care physicians to community health clinics or even government-run programs.

PHHS plays a vital role in keeping people healthy by addressing potential risk factors before they become serious illnesses or conditions. By taking proactive measures such as offering vaccines and screenings for various diseases, it can help to reduce the burden of preventable illnesses on individuals and society at large.

Many countries have systems in place which provide free or low-cost access to certain kinds of preventive healthcare such as immunizations against certain infectious diseases or screening tests for diabetes or heart disease. In many countries employers also provide some coverage for their employees either in full or partially subsidize the cost for certain items such as regular checkups as part of their employee healthcare benefits package.
