was designed to find out the impact of communicable diseases among children in
Port Harcourt City. Communicable diseases are very common among poor resident.
Communicable diseases could be contacted and have impacts in primary school
pupils, which may include deformity and poor academic performance. Immunization

One hundred respondents were used as sample study. Research questions were
formulated to analyze the results. Results showed that lack of parental care,
lack of health education and overcrowding of pupils in class lead to spread of
communicable diseases. Recommendations made included that every individual
should be fully educated about communicable diseases and that adequate and
proper hygiene should be encouraged.
