Abstract

The prevention and control of communicable diseases is an important part of the construction of the modern medical and health system, which is closely related to the health of the people and the continuous stability of society. During the period of the Republic of China, due to factors such as backward medical conditions, frequent natural disasters, lagging awareness of health prevention, and the destruction caused by wars, various communicable diseases emerged and spread in a certain range in the Lianyungang area, posing a serious threat to the safety of the local people.
