Which of these should be reportable diseases to protect public health?
A. Diabetes
B. Obesity
C. Lung cancer
D. Measles
Answer (1)
Measles is the only disease listed that is reportable to protect public health, as it is highly contagious and poses a significant risk of outbreaks. Chronic conditions like diabetes, obesity, and lung cancer do not fall into the category of reportable diseases because they are not infectious. Reporting diseases like measles helps health authorities monitor and control outbreaks effectively. ;
