Track: Infectious and Chronic Disease Management

Infectious Diseases: Prevention and Control
Primary care is at the forefront of infectious disease
prevention. Key interventions include:
Vaccination Programs:
Immunization against diseases such as measles, influenza, and COVID-19 remains
a cornerstone of prevention.
Screening and Early Diagnosis:
Regular testing for diseases like tuberculosis, HIV, and hepatitis enables
timely treatment and reduces transmission.
Health Education:
Promoting hand hygiene, safe sexual practices, and other preventive measures
helps minimize the spread of infections.
Antimicrobial Stewardship:
Rational use of antibiotics in primary care settings reduces the risk of
antimicrobial resistance.
Chronic Diseases: Management and Prevention
The rise of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as
diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases demands a robust primary
care response:
Lifestyle Interventions:
Counselling on diet, exercise, and smoking cessation addresses key risk
factors.
Early Detection: Screening
for conditions like hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and cancer ensures timely
intervention.
Integrated Care:
Multidisciplinary teams manage comorbidities, improving outcomes for patients
with chronic diseases.
Remote Monitoring:
Wearable devices and telemedicine facilitate ongoing monitoring and management
of chronic conditions.
Preventive Strategies for Both
Primary care bridges infectious and chronic disease
prevention by addressing common social determinants of health, such as poverty,
education, and access to clean water. Community engagement initiatives and
health promotion campaigns foster healthier populations while reducing disease
burdens.
An integrated approach to infectious and chronic diseases
ensures that primary healthcare remains the cornerstone of preventive and
comprehensive care worldwide.
