Public health is the science and practice of protecting and improving the health of populations through research, education, and policy. It focuses on preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting well-being at the community and global levels rather than treating individual patients. Public health encompasses epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, behavioral science, and health policy—addressing issues such as infectious disease outbreaks, vaccination, nutrition, mental health, and healthcare access. By combining data-driven science with social awareness and public policy, public health aims to reduce health disparities, respond to emerging global threats, and build resilient, healthier societies.
