In the realm of communicable disease control, prevention strategies are classified into three distinct categories: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
- Primary prevention focuses on preemptive measures to avoid the onset of disease, targeting healthy individuals through methods such as vaccinations, health education, and promoting hygienic practices.
- Secondary prevention aims to identify and treat the disease in its early stages to halt its progression, typically utilizing screening programs and early diagnosis interventions.
- On the other hand, tertiary prevention targets individuals with an established disease, seeking to minimize complications and improve the quality of life through rehabilitation, long-term care, and chronic disease management.
Collectively, these prevention strategies form a comprehensive approach to controlling communicable diseases, reducing morbidity, and mitigating the overall impact on public health.
