Infectious Disease Management
Infectious Disease Management involves strategies to prevent, control, and treat diseases caused by pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. This includes vaccination programs, public health initiatives, and the use of antibiotics or antiviral medications to treat infections. Effective management also relies on surveillance systems to monitor outbreaks and track disease patterns.
Key components of this management include education on hygiene practices, such as handwashing and safe food handling, to reduce transmission. Collaboration among healthcare providers, government agencies, and organizations like the World Health Organization is essential to implement effective responses to infectious disease threats.
