Health Inspector, Sanitary Inspector, Health Assistant, Environmental Health Officer or Environmental Health Specialist is an important member of the health team. The author has attempted to present such a book for the reading pleasure of the would-be health inspectors. While the book deals comprehensively with the subjects directly related to community medicine such as communicable diseases, non-communicable diseases, MCH, family welfare, public health administration, health education, environmental sanitation, nutrition, etc., it provides a brief description of sciences such as anatomy, physiology, microbiology, virology, parasitolgy, entomology, meteorology, sociology, psychology, social psychology and health legislations. The book would be found helpful both to the students and the staff of institutions conducting health inspectors’ and other paramedical workers’ courses
