3. Public health budgeting

Public health budgeting is the process of planning and allocating financial resources to improve community health. It involves estimating the costs of services like vaccinations, disease prevention, health education, and emergency response, then directing funds where they are most needed. This ensures effective use of public money to prevent illness, promote wellness, and respond to health crises. The budgeting process also involves monitoring spending, adjusting priorities based on changing health needs, and ensuring transparency and accountability in how funds are used to protect and improve public health outcomes.
