520 |a The development of public health measures contributed more to the curly fall in mortality rates m Kerala than the extension of the medical care delivery system. Death rates in the Travancore-Cochin area of Kerala had begun to fall from a much earlier period than elsewhere in India. A significant proportion of this fall in death rates was due to reduction in mortality from infectious diseases like plague, cholera and smallpox.The decline in mortality from these infectious diseases may be traced to the various public health measures such as eradication and control of communicable diseases, sanitation, water supply, personal and environments hygiene, etc, rather than to the extension of the medical care delivery system. The experience of other countries conforms to this hypothesis.
