Public Health Systems

Public health systems are organizations and processes that aim to protect and improve the health of communities. They focus on preventing diseases, promoting healthy lifestyles, and responding to health emergencies. Public health involves a variety of activities, including vaccination programs, health education, disease surveillance, and policy-making. These systems work at local, state, and national levels to address health issues, ensure access to healthcare services, and improve health outcomes for everyone, particularly vulnerable populations. By prioritizing the health of communities, public health systems help to create healthier societies overall.
