Which section of the Health Code specifically addresses disease prevention and control?

The section of the Health Code that specifically addresses disease prevention and control is Article 11. This article encompasses regulations and guidelines designed to protect public health by preventing and controlling communicable diseases. It outlines the responsibilities and powers of health authorities in carrying out public health interventions, such as mandatory reporting of certain diseases, vaccination requirements, and measures to contain outbreaks. The emphasis on actionable and specific public health strategies makes this article critical in the fight against diseases that can spread within communities.

In contrast, while other articles may touch on health issues, they do not focus exclusively on disease prevention and control like Article 11 does. Article 5 generally covers environmental health regulations, Article 10 pertains to the regulatory framework for health-related professions, and Article 12 deals with sanitation and safety. Each of these articles has its own distinct focus and goals, which do not prioritize disease prevention and control in the same comprehensive manner as Article 11.
