Disease Prevention Checklist

Tips 1: Perform Disease Screening

Some health screenings can reduce your risk of a disease. But sometimes, a test or screening test can have an adverse effect. Before you undergo a test or examination while undergoing a health screening, first discuss with your doctor regarding the potential advantages and disadvantages of the test

To learn about disease screening tests or examinations, you can ask your doctor:

  • How likely are you to get problems from the condition with or without screening?
  • What are the negative effects of the test or screening?
  • How likely is the test result to be wrong?
  • How big is it? the probability that the disease found does not cause health problems?
  • How effective are the treatment options for the disease to be examined?
  • Are there other ways to reduce the risk of developing the disease?

Tips 2: Protect Yourself From Germs

For almost a century, antibiotics are drugs that help to control and kill disease-causing germs (bacteria). However, this drug does not work against viruses that also cause illnesses such as the flu. Learn how to protect yourself from germs that come from the environment.

Tips to prevent germs that cause disease:

  • Wash your hands more often, especially before touching food and after using the bathroom.
  • If you are sick, make sure that the doctor can clearly understand the symptoms of the disease you are experiencing.
  • even if you no longer have symptoms of the disease
  • Manage a healthy lifestyle, including:
    1. good diet
    2. regular exercise
    3. good personal and environmental hygiene

Tips 3: Bacterial Protection In The Body

Bakteri dan organisme mikroskopik lainnya seperti jamur dan virus merupakan penyebab penyakit infeksi. Tapi, Anda tidak akan menyadari bahwa triliunan mikroba ini hidup di tubuh Anda saat ini. Sebagian besar dari mereka tidak menyebabkan sakit. Kita harus fokus untuk membunuh kuman penyebab penyakit. Tapi tidak pula membunuh bakteri baik.

Tips For Keeping Good Bacteria In The Body:

  • Don't force the doctor to give you antibiotics
  • Know when you have to wash your hands, for example when preparing food
  • Don't use antibacterial products if you don't need them. Antibacterial soaps and home products show no reduction in the risk of infection
  • Don't overuse hand sanitizers
  • Try using different skin moisturizers to determine which skin moisturizer is best for you

Tips 4: Prevent Diseases Caused by Mosquitoes

Most mosquito bites are harmless. But mosquitoes are the biggest cause of death for humans. Mosquitoes can carry several disease-causing germs, viruses or parasites. These pathogens can enter the blood and cause disease.

Tips for Avoiding Mosquito Bites

  • Use anti-mosquito spray according to the instructions
  • Use clothing that covers the body when outdoor activities such as wearing long-sleeved shirts, long pants, gloves, and socks
  • Prevent mosquitoes from entering through doors, windows, or air ducts by installing mosquito nets
  • Clean all possible mosquito nesting places with CDP steps (Cleaning, Draining and Planting)

Tips 5: Protect Yourself and Others from Various Diseases

We live side by side and share various daily necessities with others. Either at home or in the community. We can also spread various diseases. Luckily, we have found a method of immunization or vaccination to prevent ourselves from various serious diseases. Ensuring ourselves and our children get age-appropriate injections is the best way.

At least make sure that:

  • Children have received basic immunizations and follow-up immunizations which are usually given at school.
  • For certain conditions, make sure that you have received vaccinations such as when you are going to go abroad (for example during Umrah) or when an epidemic hits (for example ORI Diphtheria).
  • Several vaccinations have also been found to prevent some infectious diseases such as:
    1. Bacterial meningitis Diphtheria Influenza
    2. Hepatitis A and B
    3. HPV infection
    4. Measles, Mumps and Rubella
    5. Pertussis
    6. Tetanus
