The Public Health Act

The Public Health Act is a law designed to protect and promote the health of the public. It allows governments to regulate areas such as sanitation, disease control, and health services to ensure a safe environment. The Act facilitates measures against health hazards, like pollution or outbreaks of infectious diseases, and enables authorities to implement health standards in communities. By doing so, it aims to improve overall public health and prevent illness, ensuring that everyone has access to necessary health resources and interventions.
