INFECTIOUS & NON-INFECTIOUS DISEASE STRATEGIC INTERVENTION

Communicable & Non-communicable Diseases (CNCD)

GCCYF Infectious and Non-Infectious Disease control control strategy refers to a broad package of which proffer strategies for controlling diseases, from primary prevention, health promotion, and health legislation to screening for early detection, treatment and rehabilitation.

We have designed our strategies to help disease control officers retain the strength of their programmes while moving towards more integrated and sector-wide approaches.

In order to choose the right strategy for a specific disease in a given situation, GCCYF in synergy with healthcare professionals have develop an understanding with context in which a disease arises, the factors contributing to its spread, and the natural course of the disease.
