Public Health and Preventive Measures
Public health is the science of protecting and improving the health of communities through education, research, and policy. It focuses on preventing diseases and promoting healthy lifestyles to reduce health risks. Preventive measures include vaccinations, health screenings, sanitation, and health education. These efforts aim to identify and address health issues before they become widespread, ultimately improving quality of life and reducing healthcare costs. By emphasizing prevention, public health initiatives help ensure that individuals and communities can lead healthier, disease-free lives.
