Communicable Disease Control

Communicable Disease Control involves efforts to prevent and reduce the spread of infections caused by microorganisms like viruses, bacteria, or parasites. This includes identifying outbreaks, promoting vaccination, encouraging good hygiene, isolating infected individuals when necessary, and implementing public health measures. The goal is to protect communities by minimizing disease transmission, safeguarding vulnerable populations, and maintaining overall health security. Effective control relies on coordinated actions between health authorities, healthcare providers, and the public to detect, respond to, and prevent communicable diseases.
