level of prevention
General Approach to Disease
Prevention
Goals of prevention
• The goals of medicine are to promote health, to
preserve health, to restore health when it is impaired,
and to minimize suffering and distress.
• These goals are embodied in the word "prevention"
4
Dr. M. Tauseef Javed SIMS LAHORE
Prevention; Definition and Concept
• Actions aimed at eradicating, eliminating or
minimizing the impact of disease and disability, or
if none of these are feasible, retarding the
progress of the disease and disability.
• The concept of prevention is best defined in the
context of levels, traditionally called primary,
secondary and tertiary prevention. A fourth level,
called primordial prevention, was later added.
5
Dr. M. Tauseef Javed SIMS LAHORE
General Community Medicine
• Designing community based health interventions
• Based on principles of:
• Acceptability
• Affordability
• Accessibility
• Cost effectiveness
• Implementing suitable interventions
Dr. M. Tauseef Javed SIMS LAHORE
6
Determinants of Prevention
• Successful prevention depends upon:
• a knowledge of causation,
• dynamics of transmission,
• identification of risk factors and risk groups,
• availability of prophylactic or early detection and
treatment measures,
• an organization for applying these measures to
appropriate persons or groups, and
• continuous evaluation of and development of
procedures applied
7
Dr. M. Tauseef Javed SIMS LAHORE
So Prevention
• The goals of medicine are to promote health, to
preserve health, to restore health when it is
impaired, and to minimize suffering and distress.
• These goals are embodied in the word "prevention"

Primordial prevention
• Primordial prevention consists of actions and
measures that inhibit the emergence of risk factors in
the form of environmental, economic, social, and
behavioral conditions and cultural patterns of living
etc.
Dr. M. Tauseef Javed SIMS LAHORE
14
Primordial prevention (cont.)
• It is the prevention of the emergence or development of risk
factors in countries or population groups in which they have
not yet appeared
• For example, many adult health problems (e.g., obesity,
hypertension) have their early origins in childhood, because
this is the time when lifestyles are formed (for example,
smoking, eating patterns, physical exercise).
Dr. M. Tauseef Javed SIMS LAHORE
15
Primordial prevention (cont.)
• In primordial prevention, efforts are directed towards
discouraging children from adopting harmful lifestyles
• The main intervention in primordial prevention is
through individual and mass education

WHAT IS HEALTH PROMOTION?
Health promotion is the process of enabling people to
increase control over, and to improve their health.

Dr. M. Tauseef Javed SIMS LAHORE
Objectives of Secondary Prevention
Complete cure and prevent the progression of
disease process.
To prevent the spreads of disease by curing all
the known cases.
To prevent the complications and sequel of
disease.
To shorten the period of disability.
26
Dr. M. Tauseef Javed SIMS LAHORE
SECONDARY PREVENTION
Prevention in pre-symptomatic phase
Action taken during the disease process
to prevent:
Complications
Physical and mental sufferings
Loss of productivity
Secondary prevention is applicable to only selective
disease not every disease
Dr. M. Tauseef Javed SIMS LAHORE
27
Diseases suitable for secondary
preventions
• Prolong latent or incubatory phase
• Reversible with suitable intervention
• Suitable community diagnostic techniques available
Examples
 Breast cancer and cervical cancer
 HIV/AIDS
 Coronary heart disease

Short Key To Remember 30
Dr. M. Tauseef Javed SIMS LAHORE
(i) Disability Limitation
• To prevent or halt the transition of disease
process from Impairment & Handicap.
• Impairment: any loss or abnormality of
psychological, physiological or anatomic
structure or function.
• Disability: any restriction or lack of ability to
perform an activity in the manner considered
normal for a human being.
• Handicap: disadvantage for a given individual,
resulting from impairment or disability, that limits
or prevents the fulfillment of a role that is normal
for that individual
31
Dr. M. Tauseef Javed SIMS LAHORE
TERTIARY PREVENTION
All the measures taken to reduce or limit the
Impairment/ disabilities and restoration of functions
Main strategies are:
1. Disability limitation
2. Rehabilitation

anatomical structure
Disability: Lack of ability to
perform an activity
Handicap: Prevents
fulfillment of normal role

Disability – cant talk Handicap – cant socialize

(ii) Rehabilitation
• Rehabilitation is “ the combined and coordinated
use of medical, social, educational, and vocational
measures for training and retraining the individual
to the highest possible level of functional ability.”
• Requires cooperation from different sections of
society.
