Medical - Medical (general) / Study about Parkinson's
Arabic term or phrase: وقاية
مرضى باركنسون معرضون لمضاعفات يجب الوقاية منها

Asker: I like this a lot, thank you, but I fear we lose the fact that those complications MUST be prevented. Don't you think?

Asker: Great. Now I know what prophlaxis means :) I think I'm going to go for "Complication Risks Require Prophlaxis in Parkinson's Patients"
