Public health is a field of science and practice that focuses on protecting and improving the health of populations through education, promotion of healthy lifestyles, and research for disease and injury prevention. It encompasses a wide range of activities and disciplines, including epidemiology, biostatistics, health services, environmental health, and social and behavioral health. Public health aims to address health issues at a community or population level rather than at an individual level, prioritizing access to health care, disease prevention, and health promotion. Its primary goals include reducing health disparities, managing health crises, and ensuring a healthy environment for all individuals. Public health professionals work in various settings, including government agencies, non-profit organizations, academic institutions, and the private sector, collaborating to develop policies and programs that improve the overall health of society.
