Historique
The orgins of the Division of Preventable Diseases can be found in the Division of Venereal Diseases, which was established within the Provincial Board of Health in 1919.
The function of the Division of Venereal Diseases was expanded to include the monitoring, assessment, investigation, prevention and control of tuberculosis, and other preventable diseases such as typhoid fever, diptheria, etc. By an Order-in-Council dated October 10, 1922, the Division's name was changed from the Division of Venereal Diseases to the Division of Preventable Diseases in order to reflect its new mandate and scope of activities. Under the directorship of R. R. McClenahan (1922-1928), and A. L. McKay (1929-1938), the Division established a closer co-operation with the District Medical Officers of Health and provincial laboratories in connection with sporadic outbreaks of preventable diseases. However, the treatment and control of venereal diseases remained the major part of the activities of the Division.
In April 1939, responsibility of V.D. was removed from the Division and set up as a separate unit called Division of Venereal Disease Control. At the same time, the Division of Preventable Diseases was renamed Division of Epidemiology.
