What is the main focus of CDC services?

• A. To promote private healthcare
• B. To support medical research
• C. To protect public health and safety through disease control and prevention
• D. To advance technology in healthcare

Answer: (C)

CDC services are focused on protecting public health by preventing and controlling disease. This means monitoring disease trends, investigating outbreaks, and providing guidelines, vaccines, and rapid emergency responses to health threats. While research and technology advances can support these goals, the primary aim is safeguarding communities through prevention and control of illness. That makes the description of protecting public health and safety through disease control and prevention the best fit.
