Public Health

Public Health is the science and practice of 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 aimed at improving the health and well-being of communities and individuals, such as monitoring health status, identifying health problems, engaging in policy development, and ensuring access to healthcare services. Public health focuses on disease prevention, health promotion, and health equity, often addressing issues such as nutrition, hygiene, sanitation, environmental health, and infectious disease control. It typically involves collaboration among various sectors, including government agencies, non-profit organizations, healthcare providers, and the community, to create comprehensive strategies aimed at enhancing health outcomes for the population at large.
