How to Use This Mind Map:
- Central Image: Draw a simple image in the middle, like a globe with a medical cross or a shield protecting the world.
- Main Branches: Create five thick, colored branches radiating from the center for each of the main sections (Prevention, Medical Response, etc.).
- Sub-Branches: From each main branch, draw thinner lines for the sub-topics (e.g., from "Prevention," draw lines for "Personal Hygiene," "Physical Measures," etc.).
- Keywords & Icons: Use keywords and small icons to make it more visual (e.g., a soap icon for "Handwashing," a syringe for "Vaccination," a brain for "Mental Health").
- Colors: Use a different color for each main branch to improve clarity and memory retention.
