Public Health

Public Health is the science and practice of promoting and protecting the health of populations and communities. It focuses on improving health outcomes through the prevention of disease, prolongation of life, and the promotion of health through organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, public and private, communities, and individuals. Public health encompasses a wide range of activities and disciplines, including epidemiology, biostatistics, health services administration, environmental health, and social and behavioral sciences. Its primary goal is to enhance health equity and reduce health disparities, ensuring that all individuals have access to the resources needed to achieve good health. Public health initiatives often involve community health education, vaccination programs, disease prevention measures, and policy-making aimed at improving overall health conditions and quality of life within populations.
