What is Public Health?

  • Public Health recognizes that healthy individuals thrive in healthy communities.
  • As an interdisciplinary and interprofessional field, it incorporates science, art, and humanities to organize efforts that result in preventing disease, promoting health, and prolonging life.
  • It helps students understand the social, cultural, and biological aspects of health and illness.
  • It offers a profound understanding of patients' context with a holistic approach.
