This paper considers the problem of constructing appropriate Lyapunov function for establishing the global stability of a disease-free equilibrium in epidemiological models. A generalised algorithm is proposed and it is tested for some selected epidemiological models. Experience from the application of the algorithm on test examples shows that the algorithm is easy to use, less cumbersome, and yielded the desired result, particularly in models with homogeneous population. Thus, the proposed
