public health safeguards

Public health safeguards are measures designed to protect communities from health threats, such as infectious diseases, environmental hazards, and safety risks. They include strategies like vaccination programs, health education, sanitation practices, and regulations that ensure food, water, and air quality. These safeguards work collectively to prevent illness, promote well-being, and reduce health disparities, ultimately creating safer, healthier environments for everyone.
