Abstract: Prevention of the spread of communicable diseases takes place with the coordinated effort of the preventive and curative health sectors. An efficient disease notification process that is conducted in the curative care setup is an important step in effectively preventing communicable disease outbreaks in the community. It is mandatory to notify the diseases that are mentioned in the list of notifiable diseases to the relevant health authorities by the health staff for further action in view of their prevention. Lack of notification was found to be mainly due to the lack of knowledge regarding the diseases that are included in the notifiable disease list and the lack of understanding of the importance of the communicable disease notification process.
