Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
To ‘ensure healthy lives and promote well-being’ is one of the main goals adopted by the United Nations. According to the World Health Organization’s plan, five of the principal global health needs are related to the infectious diseases, such as HIV testing, treatment, and viral suppression of 95%–95%–95%, respectively, and to reduce viral hepatitis as a main global threat. To face the current SARS-Cov-2 pandemic, infections prevention and public health promotion are even more important. Moreover, under-served populations are still a fundamental global issue to plan communicable diseases’ control. This Special Issue aims to include papers on Infectious Diseases Prevention and Public Health Promotion, in order to propose new approaches and strategies in field.
