Public Health Infrastructure

Public health infrastructure refers to the systems, services, and resources put in place to protect and improve the health of urban populations. This includes hospitals, clinics, health education programs, sanitation, and emergency response services. Effective infrastructure ensures access to clean water, disease prevention, health screenings, and vaccination programs. It promotes healthy environments through policies and regulations that impact air quality, housing, and access to nutritious food. In cities, a strong public health infrastructure is essential for managing health emergencies, reducing inequalities, and fostering overall community well-being.
