ROLE OF DOCTORS IN PREVENTING COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
a) Controlling the reservoir
a. Early Diagnosis Precise treatment Epidemiological Investigation- study time place & person
distribution of the disease and For institution of prevention and control measures.
b.Notification
c. Isolation
d. Quarantine
ROLE OF DOCTORS IN PREVENTING COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
b) Interruption of transmission
“Breaking the chain of Transmission”
c) Susceptible Host
a. Active immunization.
b. Passive Immunization
c. Combined Active and passive immunization.
d) Non-specific measures Better housing, water-supply, sanitation. nutrition and
education. Legislative measures- to formulate and effective
implementation of measures.
