ABSTRACT

Public health is a broad profession that seeks to protect and improve population health through preventative treatments and policy. It goes beyond clinical care to address broader social, economic, and environmental factors influencing community well-being. This study looks into the historical evolution of public health programs, essential concepts such as health equity and epidemiology, and the importance of preventive medicine in the field. Case studies of successful public health programs shed light on viable ways to improve population health. By studying these components, the research emphasizes the critical role public health plays in improving population health, particularly through the integration of community-based interventions and policies.

Keywords: Public health, population health, preventive medicine, health equity, epidemiology.
