Every chapter is written in a bullet-point format, which enables students to revise and retain the difficult concepts in a very short period of time. The lucidity of the contents will alleviate the need of mugging up and, at the same time, enriching knowledge will be easier and quicker.

The unique feature of the book is summarization of all the relevant topics under a common chapter. For example, a separate chapter for each of the topics, namely the health-related data, epidemiology, statistics, viva voce, laws and legislation, spots, health programs, etc. to make it easier for students to find out information about any law or data or program, etc. Family study and case study are core part of syllabus for both undergraduates (UGs) and postgraduates (PGs). Hence-theory and practical-both aspects are covered in the book.

The book has all the updated information from all the areas of the subject till date. A compendium of annexures is given separately at the end of the book, which is going to be very useful during MBBS professional examinations. The book is written keeping in mind the proposed syllabus by the Indian Association of Preventive and Social Medicine (IAPSM).
