Question

Write about various preventing measures to cure infectious diseases.

Answer 1

While treating an infectious disease, following three limitations are normally confronted:
(i) Once a person suffers from a disease, his body functions are impaired and may never recover completely.
(ii) As treatment takes time, the patient is confined to bed for some time.
(iii) The infected person serves as a potential source of spread of this infectious disease to other persons in the community. Keeping in view these limitations, prevention of diseases is considered far better than their cure. Preventing measures are precautionary steps taken to check the transmission of infectious diseases.
