Public Health
Public health is an interdisciplinary field which focuses on protecting and improving population health by promoting healthy behavior and preventing disease, injury and disability. Public health interventions are based on scientific evidence and are designed to identify, monitor and reduce risks of disease, injury and disability. Public health initiatives may include policy development, health education and promotion, health system organization and management, and interventions to improve access to healthcare and address the social determinants of health. Public health is critical for the wellbeing of individuals, communities and nations, and is fundamental for ensuring equity in health and healthcare access.
