public health perspectives

Public health perspectives focus on improving the health of communities by preventing illness, promoting healthy behaviors, and addressing social factors that influence health. It involves identifying health risks, implementing policies, and providing education to enhance well-being at population levels. Instead of just treating individual diseases, public health looks at the bigger picture—such as sanitation, vaccination, access to care, and lifestyle choices—to create environments that support healthier lives for everyone. It aims to reduce health disparities and ensure all community members have the opportunity to live healthier, longer lives.
