• Question 1 of 5 1. Question Consider the following statements regarding notifiable diseases in India: Only infectious diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis can be classified as notifiable. Notifiable diseases must be reported only at the district level. Reporting of notifiable diseases is voluntary for healthcare providers. Which of the statements given above is/are correct? a) Only one b) Only two c) All three d) None Correct Solution: d) Notifiable diseases in India encompass both infectious (e.g., malaria, tuberculosis) and non-infectious conditions (e.g., cancer, lead poisoning), depending on state-specific requirements. Hence, Statement 1 is incorrect as notifiable status is not limited to infectious diseases. Reporting of notifiable diseases is critical for public health surveillance and involves multiple levels, including district, state, and national authorities, to facilitate timely interventions and coordinated responses. Thus, Statement 2 is incorrect, as the responsibility extends beyond the district level. Healthcare providers are legally obligated to report cases of notifiable diseases, as mandated by public health laws and regulations. Failure to do so may attract legal penalties, ensuring compliance is not voluntary but mandatory. Therefore, Statement 3 is incorrect.
