Abstract
The history of disease prevention in India region of the world during the 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as the evolution of public health in British India, offer important insights into the time when new trends in medical systems and the switch from surveys to microscopic studies in medicine took place. It contains pioneering discoveries and early laboratory works in immunology and microbiology. Tropical medicine and infectious diseases emerged as a direct result of colonization. The epidemiology of infectious diseases, many of which are still common in third-world nations, is where the history of illnesses and their prevention in the colonial environment begins. It demonstrates how the imperial administration developed surveillance systems and dealt with epidemics. In this article we discussed about the brief overview of medical and disease prevention in India during British era.
