Topic 2: The History of Public Health

Sanitation and Environmental Health: Greeks and Romans (500 BCE) and the Public Health Act (1840) in the UK; these efforts demonstrate early community sanitation measures. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was founded (1970) further illustrating the progression.
-
Pandemics: Influenza (1918, 500 million infected), Polio (vaccine introduced in 1955, eradication effort launched in 1988 - eradication achieved), HIV (34 million living with HIV worldwide; 20% decline in new infections since 2001) and preparedness for disaster response such as 2001 and Katrina
