Disease Control Programs

Disease control programs are organized efforts by health authorities aimed at reducing or eliminating specific diseases within a population. They involve activities like vaccination, public education, disease surveillance, and treatment initiatives. The goal is to prevent new cases, manage existing ones, and ultimately minimize the health and societal impacts of the disease. These programs are tailored to target diseases such as measles, tuberculosis, or HIV/AIDS, using evidence-based strategies to improve overall community health and prevent outbreaks.
