防疫 (fáng yì) specifically means 'epidemic prevention' — it always refers to preventing infectious diseases or epidemics. This contrasts with 预防 (yù fáng), the general word for 'prevent' in any context, and 防治 (fáng zhì), which includes treatment. 防疫 is most common in public health and government contexts.
