Notifiable Disease

A notifiable disease is a disease that must be reported to public health authorities to control its spread and to take appropriate action should an epidemic develop.

These diseases include AIDS (but not information about HIV-positive test results), diphtheria, dysentery, food poisoning, infectious jaundice, malaria, measles, polio, tuberculosis, typhoid fever and whooping cough.

The list of these diseases may vary slightly from country to country, but there are several diseases that are under the control of the World Health Organization. These include: cholera, plague, relapsing fever, typhus and yellow fever.



Notifiable diseases are a major public health problem worldwide. They are diseases that can lead to epidemics and spread of infection throughout the community. Therefore, information about them should be immediately reported to health authorities to control their spread and take the necessary measures in the event of an epidemic.

These diseases include AIDS (but not information about HIV-positive test results), diphtheria, dysentery, food poisoning, infectious jaundice, malaria, measles, polio, tuberculosis, typhoid fever and whooping cough. The list may differ slightly in different countries, but these are the main diseases that require registration.

The disease reporting process begins with health facilities reporting cases to local health authorities, which then forward the information to central health authorities. In some countries this happens automatically, through an electronic registration system.

After receiving information about the disease, health authorities conduct an investigation and identify all contact persons who could become infected. They then take necessary measures to prevent the spread of the disease, such as quarantine or vaccinations.

There are several diseases that are under the control of the World Health Organization (WHO). These include cholera, plague, relapsing fever, typhus and yellow fever. These diseases are especially dangerous and can lead to serious epidemics.

It is important to note that registration of diseases does not violate patients' rights to confidentiality and protection of personal information. Information about the disease is transmitted and processed in strict accordance with the legislation on the protection of personal data.

In conclusion, notifiable diseases play an important role in controlling the spread of infections in a community. Registration of diseases is a necessary measure to prevent epidemics and preserve public health. Therefore, it is important to follow the registration rules and report cases of the disease to medical institutions.
