ONE IMPORTANT CONTROL MEASURE AGAINST THESE DISEASES, DR LEUNG SAID, WAS ACTIVE IMMUNISATION.
+GOOD PERSONAL HABITS ARE ALSO IMPORTANT IN PREVENTING
DISEASES SPREAD BY THE ORAL ROUTE.
+ATTENTION TO PERSONAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL HYGIENE IS A SOUND MEASURE WHICH ONE SHOULD ADOPT TO PREVENT CHOLERA, VIRAL HEPATITIS, TYPHOID, DYSENTERY AND FOOD POISONING, DR LEUNG SAID.
NOWADAYS, SHE ADDED, THE CONTROL OF COMMUNICABLE DISEASES WAS MUCH LIKE A MINIATURE WAR-GAME WHICH COULD NOT BE WON BY THE EFFORTS OF THE MEDICAL AND HEALTH DEPARTMENT ALONE.
+THE CO-OPERATION AND INVOLVEMENT OF ALL CONCERNED IS NECESSARY FOR ITS SUCCESS.
+ IT IS ONLY THROUGH THE CONTINUOUS AND LONG-TERM CONCERTED EFFORT BY ALL THAT THE RESULT OF OUR WORK IN THE CONTROL OF COMMUNICABLE DISEASES CAN BE MAINTAINED, + DR LEUNG SAID.
