Study Notes
Prevention of Disease
- The main goal of prevention is to reduce the incidence and prevalence of a disease.
Levels of Prevention
- There are four levels of prevention:
- Primary prevention: focuses on addressing the social determinants of health.
- Secondary prevention: focuses on early detection and treatment of a disease.
- Tertiary prevention: (not mentioned in the text, but often included in the four levels)
- Quaternary prevention: (not mentioned in the text, but often included in the four levels)
- The levels of prevention aim to prevent disease, detect disease early, treat disease, and mitigate the effects of disease.
Infection Prevention and Control (IPC)
- The natural history of disease refers to the progression of a disease from its onset to its resolution.
- IPC is founded on the scientific disciplines of epidemiology, microbiology, and immunology.
- The IPC Technical and Clinical Hub team is located at the World Health Organization (WHO) Headquarters.
- The IPC Hub team coordinates the work on infection prevention and control, including guidance development, implementation, and research.
- The IPC Hub team works jointly with the Service Delivery and Safety (SDS) division.
- The purpose of IPC is to prevent and control the spread of infections, and to protect patients, healthcare workers, and visitors from infections.
