Scientific Sessions

Socioeconomic Determinants of Infectious Diseases

  • Impact of poverty, education, and access to care
  • Disease distribution and vulnerability analysis
  • Health equity and preventive interventions
  • Policy development to mitigate infection risks

Socioeconomic factors play a major role in Infectious Diseases, shaping Epidemiology & Public Health, Disease Prevention & Control, and Vaccines and Immunization strategies. Participants will examine how income, education, and access to healthcare influence disease transmission, vaccination coverage, and treatment outcomes. Insights from social determinants allow the design of targeted interventions that improve equity and reduce infection disparities.

The session also highlights Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) trends linked to healthcare access and inappropriate antibiotic use. Attendees will explore evidence-informed strategies to address social barriers, enhance preventive programs, and optimize public health initiatives, ensuring comprehensive control of infectious diseases across diverse populations.

Key Highlights

  • Influence of socioeconomic determinants on disease risk
  • Health equity and access to vaccines
  • AMR trends and social risk factors
  • Community-targeted preventive and control strategies
  • Policy development to mitigate infection burden
