## **Core Concept**
The Integrated Disease Surveillance Project (IDSP) is a disease surveillance initiative under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. It aims to strengthen and maintain decentralized laboratory-based IT enabled disease surveillance systems for epidemic prone diseases to monitor disease trends, and to detect and respond to outbreaks quickly.
## **Why the Correct Answer is Right**
The IDSP focuses on epidemic-prone diseases, including **communicable diseases** such as cholera, plague, and dengue. **Non-communicable diseases** like cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases are not typically included under the IDSP as it primarily targets diseases that can spread from person to person and cause public health emergencies.
## **Why Each Wrong Option is Incorrect**
- **Option A:** Diseases like cholera are indeed under IDSP as they are epidemic-prone and communicable.
- **Option B:** Similarly, diseases such as dengue are also included because they are communicable and can cause epidemics.
- **Option C:** Diseases like plague are included due to their potential for causing significant public health emergencies.
## **Clinical Pearl / High-Yield Fact**
A key point to remember is that IDSP focuses on **communicable and epidemic-prone diseases**. Therefore, when considering diseases under IDSP, one should think of diseases that are infectious and have the potential to cause outbreaks.
## **Correct Answer:** D. **Cancer**.
