ABSTRACT

This review looks at how public health influences health policy, with a focus on population-based illness prevention and health promotion programs. Public health, through study and advocacy, serves as the scientific underpinning for health policy creation. The relationship between public health and policy development is investigated, as well as the obstacles and limits associated with implementing health policies. Case studies showcase successful public health projects, emphasizing the importance of community involvement, cross-sector collaboration, and evidence-based decision-making in meeting public health goals. Finally, the review emphasizes the importance of continuously adapting health policy to address changing public health concerns.

Keywords: Public health, health policy, disease prevention, health promotion, evidence-based policy.
