National Centre for Disease Control Govt of India Guidebook for Medical Officers in the diagnosis and Management of Outbreak prone diseases
Despite the advances in detection & control measures, outbreak prone communicable diseases continue to pose a challenge to the public health systems around the World. These conditions include emerging and re-emerging diseases and have a potential to threaten public health security and social and economic gains. In the recent past, India has witnessed a marked increase in the number of outbreaks and pandemics caused by emerging and re-emerging diseases, such as chikungunya, cholera, dengue, H5N1 influenza, H1N1 influenza, Nipah and SARS CoV-2, among others.
Early detection, reporting and timely intervention remain the time-proven instruments in minimizing the adverse impact of these diseases.
We recommend this guidebook for all medical officers and healthcare professionals involved in outbreak management across India and around the globe
