Isi artikelDisease Control and Prevention are an important component of Health Security. Of the many aspects of disease control, those pertaining to the control service activities during the post-elimination or eradication era are extremely important to prevent the re-emergence of the disease. Myanmar has conquered five diseases and the country is endeavouring to sustain control activities so that the conquered diseases always remain under control and thus reduce the disease burden. After the successful eradication of smallpox, no specific anti-smallpox activity was being undertaken. The Myanmur Health System, which is an integrated system is being further strengthened and the authorities are alert to the international situation regarding bio-terrorist attacks and are in contact with the International Epidemiology Network and drug and vaccine stockpile. Leprosy, trachoma and Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) are well under control and the situation is at elimination status. Leprosy services are continuing at full swing to keep the control programme going, integrated with basic health services. There will be a strong technical component at the centre and the regions. Trachoma and IDD, having reached elimination status are epidemiologically maintained at that level through basic health services, with technical guidance from the programme. For trachoma, the Prevention of Blindness (PBL) Project monitored the situation with periodic rapid assessment and rectification as necessary. IDD continues as an integrated service to sustain universal salt iodization (USI) with periodic assessment by the health department which advises on technical matters related to salt manufacturing as well. Myanmar is free from polio and is pursuing all activities to be declared polio-free by the South-East Asia Region Certification Committee.
