Saúde Coletiva

Saúde Coletiva, or Collective Health, is a field that studies how social, economic, and environmental factors influence community health. It focuses on understanding health patterns, preventing disease, and promoting well-being through public policies, education, and interventions. Rather than just treating individual illnesses, Saúde Coletiva aims to improve overall health outcomes for entire populations by addressing social inequalities and improving access to healthcare, sanitation, and healthy living conditions. It combines knowledge from medicine, sociology, public policy, and other disciplines to create comprehensive strategies for healthier societies.
