Controlling disease

  • Reducing spread of diseases
  • Disease management

Description

Controlling disease involves implementing coordinated measures to prevent, reduce, or eliminate the spread of infectious and non-infectious diseases. Essential actions include surveillance, early detection, vaccination, public health education, sanitation, vector control, and rapid response to outbreaks. These strategies aim to minimize morbidity and mortality, protect vulnerable populations, and maintain public health stability by interrupting transmission pathways and ensuring timely access to effective treatments and preventive interventions.This information has been generated by artificial intelligence.
