Public Health

Public Health is a field of study and practice focused on protecting and improving the health of populations through organized efforts and informed choices. It encompasses the prevention of disease, the promotion of health, and the prolongation of life among populations. Public health efforts may involve health education, disease surveillance, health policy advocacy, and the development of strategies to address health disparities. It draws on multiple disciplines, including epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, and social and behavioral sciences, to address health-related issues at community, national, and global levels. The ultimate goal of public health is to enhance overall community health and well-being by implementing programs and policies that foster a healthier environment, promote healthy behaviors, and ensure access to necessary healthcare services.
