Infectious Disease Prevention and Public Health Promotion: Second Edition

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 infectious diseases, such as HIV testing, treatment, and viral suppression of 95%–95%–95%, respectively, and reducing viral hepatitis as a main global threat. To face the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, infection prevention and public health promotion are even more important. Moreover, under-served populations are still a fundamental global issue in planning communicable disease control. This Special Issue aims to include papers on infectious disease prevention and public health promotion in order to propose new approaches and strategies in the field.
