Control mechanisms are systematic processes designed to regulate, guide, and manage the operations and behaviors within an organization or system to achieve desired outcomes. They ensure alignment with strategic goals and can include both formal and informal methods to monitor performance and enforce compliance with standards.

Control Mechanisms

Disease prevention involves proactive measures to reduce the risk and impact of diseases, focusing on maintaining health and preventing the onset of illness. It encompasses strategies at individual, community, and policy levels, including vaccination, health education, lifestyle modifications, and early detection through screenings.
