government health agencies

Government health agencies are organizations established by governments to protect and improve public health. They develop policies, regulate medical practices and products, conduct research, and respond to health emergencies like outbreaks. Examples include the CDC in the United States and the NHS in the UK. These agencies ensure that healthcare standards are maintained, provide health information to the public, and coordinate efforts to prevent diseases, promote wellness, and manage health crises. Their goal is to safeguard communities’ health and ensure access to safe, effective healthcare services.
