SOCIAL AND PREVENTIVE PHARMACY

The opportunity to prepare a book on “Social and Preventive Pharmacy”
provided us the occasion to serve the students of B. Pharmacy. Many new
concepts have arisen and much more modifications have been incorporated
over the past strategies. The book enunciates the principles and components of
Primary health care and National health policies to achieve the goal of “Health
for all”. It provides entire information about the National Health Programs
with particular emphasis on maternal and child health programs, family
welfare planning.
The book allows for the lucid understanding of different health and disease
conditions. This book introduces communicable diseases, causative agent,
mode of transmission and prevention of various diseases.
All the topics of the textbook are described in detail for the benefit of the
student community. The text book has been designed to give the students
rapid and easy access to all the information in a syllabus wise format by
presenting the subject in a clear, understandable and logically organized way.
