Proper diagnosis of disease allows for appropriate treatment and implementation of accurate prevention and control measures. Knowing the conditions that trigger and or perpetuate disease could assist in applying the right measures for prevention and control. Research, collaborations between various stakeholders, commitment from governments and non-governmental organisations are pillars of disease prevention and control.
