Department of Microbiology organized a Lecture on Prevention and Control of Communicable Diseases on 19th November 2022. The objective of communicable disease control is ultimately to stop transmission of the causative agent, so that no new individuals will get infected and be at risk of developing disease. Because communicable diseases can have so much impact on the population, their surveillance and control is an important part of protecting the public's health. The speaker covered all major aspects in control and prevention of communicable diseases. It was highly informative and around 32 students benefitted by the lecture.
