Sanitary-Epidemiological Description

The sanitary and epidemiological description (SEA) is an important tool for assessing the health of the population and taking measures to improve the sanitary and epidemiological situation. SEA includes a systematic summary of materials characterizing the state of a certain territory. It assesses the incidence of disease in the population, as well as the provision of sanitary and preventive forces and means to combat infectious diseases.

SEA allows you to identify problems in the field of health care and determine priority areas for improving the sanitary and epidemiological condition of the territory. Based on SEA data, plans can be developed to improve sanitation infrastructure, catering, and other aspects affecting public health.

The SEA includes the following components:

  1. Demographic data: population size, age composition, population density, population migration.
  2. Socio-economic status: level of education, employment, income of the population.
  3. Population health: morbidity, mortality, disability, access to medical care.
  4. Sanitary and hygienic conditions: water supply, sewerage, garbage collection, landscaping.
  5. Epidemiological situation: prevalence of infectious diseases, effectiveness of the control and prevention system.
  6. Equipping with sanitary and epidemiological forces and means: availability of medical institutions, laboratories, equipment and materials for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

To compile the SEA, a number of studies are carried out, including population surveys, analysis of statistical data and monitoring of health indicators. The obtained data is processed and analyzed to identify problem areas and propose measures to solve them.

The results of SEA can be used to develop targeted programs and action plans aimed at improving the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population. They also help evaluate the effectiveness of ongoing activities and monitor their results.

Thus, sanitary and epidemiological description is an important tool for managing public health and improving the sanitary and epidemiological situation in a certain territory. Its use makes it possible to identify problem areas and develop measures to eliminate them, which helps improve the health and well-being of the population.



Sanitary - Epidemiological description consists of a systematic summary of materials characterizing the sanitary condition or epidemic situation of an object. In other words, Sanitary-Epidemiological descriptions are documents containing data, systematized by time and territory, on morbidity, health and hygiene, as well as on some epidemiological conditions in a certain territory.
