What are the Key Strategies for Infectious Disease Control?
Several strategies are employed to control infectious diseases, including:
Vaccination: Immunization programs are one of the most effective ways to prevent infectious diseases. Surveillance: Monitoring disease patterns helps in early detection and response to outbreaks. Quarantine and Isolation: These measures prevent the spread of infections by separating those who are infected or at risk. Hygiene Practices: Promoting handwashing, sanitation, and safe food handling can reduce transmission. Antimicrobial Stewardship: Responsible use of antibiotics and antivirals to prevent the development of resistance.
