Public Health Inquiry

A Public Health Inquiry is an investigation conducted to understand and address health-related issues affecting a community or population. It involves collecting and analyzing evidence to identify causes of health problems, assess risks, and determine appropriate actions. These inquiries can be initiated by government agencies or health organizations when there are concerns like disease outbreaks, environmental hazards, or safety violations. The goal is to ensure safe, healthy environments for everyone by providing accurate information, recommending improvements, and supporting public health policies.
