EDCD Epidemiology and Disease Management Division was established as a Department of Statistical Science in 2030 and was reorganized into Department of Epidemiological Statistics Department in 2035. According to the new organizational structure in 2050, this department was named epidemiology and disease management department. Adjustment between MOHP and central organization, hospital, community health department, medical school, and technical assistance in WHO activities are ongoing. WHO, USAID, the UK Ministry of International Development and the Global Fund provide technical and financial support to the EDCD to achieve the goals of this sector.

The purpose of this discussion is to briefly outline the concept of epidemiology in disease management and prevention. I also define and apply the ecosystem epidemiological paradigm in my community to treat obesity. Epidemiology means a lot, but mostly studies of statistical information, probability and community health by research (Nies & McEwen, 2015). Regional health nurses use epidemiologic concepts when nurses practice, collect or analyze regional disease data, or when using data to help identify local risk groups (Nies & McEwen, 2015)

Applied epidemiology is the practice of using epidemiological methods to protect or improve the health of the population. Epidemiology in applied fields includes health indicators such as the occurrence of infectious and non-communicable diseases, mortality and morbidity, nutritional status, etc., with the aim of communicating the results to people who can implement appropriate policies and disease control measures Investigation of. As the humanitarian crisis makes monitoring and reporting of diseases and other health factors more difficult, the method used to report data has been compromised. In one survey, less than half (42.4%) of nutritional surveys sampled from humanitarian situation correctly calculated the prevalence of malnutrition and only one third (35.3%) of surveys satisfied the quality survey criteria there were. In the mortality survey, only 3.2% met quality standards.
