This paper investigates 168 articles associated with the implementation Keywords of data mining for diagnosing such diseases. The study concentrates on 85 selected papers which Healthcare have received more attention between 1997 and 2018. All algorithms data mining models and Classification evaluation methods are thoroughly reviewed with special consideration. The study attempts to Heart Disease determine the most efficient data mining methods used for medical diagnosing purposes. Also Breast Cancer one of the other significant results of this study is the detection of research gaps in the application Diabetes Mellitus of data mining in health care.
