Global Eradication of Diseases

There is a famous saying. This is true when it comes to global infection control or global disease eradication. The most common debate among public health professionals is how to leverage existing medical technology to reduce the incidence and prevalence of infectious diseases. To date, only smallpox has been eradicated by the vaccine, saving nearly 5 million lives annually. Regular application of personal and community hygiene, public health, environmental change, vaccines, and vector control have interrupted the transmission of disease-causing organisms such as cholera, yellow fever, and malaria in many countries. I hope that technological advances will one day help eradicate infectious diseases around the world.
