Public Health Agencies

Public health agencies are organizations dedicated to protecting and promoting the health of communities. They monitor health trends, respond to health emergencies, and develop health policies. These agencies, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the USA or the World Health Organization (WHO) globally, conduct research, provide education, and offer guidelines to help prevent disease and improve health outcomes. Their work includes vaccination programs, disease surveillance, and health education initiatives, ensuring that everyone has access to essential health information and services to lead healthier lives.
