THE PREVENTION AND
CONTROL OF
COMMUNICABLE
DISEASES
LESSON 4
\
Disease prevention and control is a very important health concern because it affects
the quality of people’s life. Communicable disease not only threatens the sick
person but also his/her family and the society in general. Thus, protecting ourselves
and our families from diseases is both a personal and social responsibility.
Follow these guidelines to reduce the spread of infections.

 Bath every day to keep your skin, hair, and nails clean.
 Avoid sharing personal or drinking utensils.
 Store & prepare food in a safe way to prevent food
contamination.
 Wash your hands after using the toilet and wash your hands before and
after eating.
 If you are sick, avoid sharing your sickness to others. Cover your mouth
when coughing.
 There are three other ways to protect yourself from communicable
diseases. You can become sick by having the
disease. You can be immunized by injection. If a vaccine is available, then
you can practice bio feedback.
 There are three levels of prevention.

1) The Primary level is used before the person gets the disease.

2) The Secondary level is used after the disease has


occurred, but before the person notices that anything is wrong.

3) The Tertiary level targets the


person who already has symptoms of the disease;
to lessen the damage and pain from the
disease, to slow down the disease, prevent It from causing complications, give the
best care and to make the sick healthy again.
SO WHAT NOW?

Do you believe that you can do great things to


prevent the spread of communicable diseases?
