Community Medicine | Epidemiologist | Epidemiology Doctors in India

Community medicine practitioners not only diagnose and treat diseases in their health center clinics, but their practices also include prevention of diseases and disabilities and promotion of health in the community served by their health centers.

Community-oriented doctors provide comprehensive primary health care to the entire community through the health center, clinic, or dispensary which includes the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses for children, adults and elderly, preventive checkups, routine maternity and newborn care, immunizations among others.

Medical interventions that occur in communities can be classified as three categories: primary care, secondary care, and tertiary care. Each category focuses on a different level and approach towards the community or population group.

Public health refers to all organized measures (whether public or private) to prevent disease, promote health, and prolong life among the population as a whole.
