Public Health

Public Health is a field of science and practice focused on protecting and improving the health of populations through the promotion of healthy lifestyles, prevention of disease and injury, and the promotion of policies aimed at enhancing health. It encompasses a wide range of activities, including monitoring health trends, conducting research, implementing health education programs, and developing regulations and policies to create healthier environments. Public health efforts are typically carried out at local, national, and global levels and involve collaboration among government agencies, healthcare providers, community organizations, and the public. Key areas of public health include epidemiology, biostatistics, health services administration, environmental health, and social and behavioral health. Ultimately, public health aims to enhance the health and well-being of communities and reduce health disparities among different populations.
