Clinics, hospitals and laboratories reported weekly communicable disease figures and daily alerts.

And we've seen a new disease, not like the 30 novel emerging communicable diseases.

WHO is supporting the Ministry of Health in the development and implementation of integrated disease surveillance system and control of major communicable and other diseases.

Secondly, there has been recognition that the scourge of HIV AIDS, tuberculosis and other communicable disease threatens to reverse the gains being made in development.

Likewise in communicable diseases.

Just as we once eliminated smallpox, so can we eliminate others. It also bears remembering that 60 of the world s population dies of non communicable illnesses such as cancer or heart disease.

To communicable diseases, it might be health clinics or mosquito nets.

The World Health Organization (WHO) invested 2.5 million in priority development activities in maternal and child health, communicable and non communicable diseases, nutrition, mental health, food safety and the essential drugs list.

If left unaddressed, the dual burden of communicable and non communicable diseases could jeopardize Africa s economic potential. To avoid this, three critical areas of health care must be addressed technology, infrastructure, and education.

In terms of causes of death, Aruba can be grouped together with the Western countries, where mortality due to communicable diseases is now under control, but where so called diseases of civilisation (heart disease, cancer) have taken over, mainly as a result of unhealthy lifestyles (bad diet and too little physical activity).

The reasons are not hard to find. Communicable disease outbreaks occur over days to weeks (or at the most, months) the danger is clear and present and prevention and control generally requires intervention by the state the quarantine of victims, tracing and immunization of contacts, or elimination of environmental sources of the infectious agent.

Disease.

Both regions also face the pandemic of HIV AIDS and other communicable diseases, such as tuberculosis and malaria.

Malaria is one of Ethiopia's foremost health problems, ranking at the top of the list of communicable diseases.

Yet the current debate about the global epidemic of non communicable diseases (NCDs) chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer has ignored this advice. Policymakers have oversimplified the challenge by focusing on the growing prevalence of NCDs the sheer number of people with these diseases 160 which, I argue, is not really the problem.
