Communicable diseases viewed as collateral damage: Role of primary prevention in their prevention and control
Journal Title: Medical Journal Armed Forces - Year 2019, Vol 75, Issue 1
Abstract
Communicable disease incidence may be seen as ‘collateral damage’ of our choices or compulsions, whether it is our behavior, religious or ethnic group we belong to, occupation we indulge in, geographical area we live in or the genetic constitution we possess. Disease extent and pattern is, thus, contingent on various combinations of these determinants.
