Public Health
About Course
Public health is the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health through organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, communities, and individuals. Unlike clinical medicine, which focuses on treating individuals, public health emphasizes the well-being of populations. It involves a wide range of activities including health education, disease prevention, policy development, and health services management. By addressing factors such as sanitation, nutrition, vaccination, and access to healthcare, public health seeks to create conditions in which people can be healthy. Its impact is far-reaching—enhancing quality of life, extending life expectancy, reducing human suffering, and saving resources for individuals and society alike.
