The term "Public Health" refers to all organized efforts (both public and private) to prevent diseases, promote health, and extend life among individuals. It encompasses activities aimed at creating conditions that enable people to live healthily. Public health focuses on the entire population rather than just patients or specific diseases. It operates within an integrated system that includes various methodologies such as epidemiology, pathology, environmental science, behavioral health, occupational health, vital statistics, and more.

Recently, public health activities have expanded in many countries, including vaccination campaigns, control of infectious diseases, and the promotion of safer and healthier foods. These efforts aim to reduce diseases and deaths, provide access to family planning services, and raise awareness about the harmful effects of smoking. These initiatives are all part of the expanding work in the field of public health. Additionally, the main functions of public health management involve reducing the risks of epidemic diseases, identifying health problems, and communicating these issues to the public while finding solutions through all possible methods.

British Academy For Training And Development emphasizes the importance of public health initiatives in ensuring a healthier society.
