Eliminating infectious disease spread
- Stopping continued cross-infection
Description
Eliminating infectious disease spread involves implementing coordinated measures to interrupt transmission pathways, such as vaccination, sanitation, vector control, rapid diagnosis, and effective treatment. The strategy focuses on identifying sources of infection, isolating cases, promoting hygiene, and ensuring public health education. Its practical intent is to reduce incidence, prevent outbreaks, and protect vulnerable populations by addressing specific risk factors and ensuring timely response to emerging threats, thereby minimizing morbidity and mortality associated with infectious diseases.
