- Public health combines science, skills, and beliefs to maintain and improve the health of all people.
- Public health involves prevention and health promotion through collective actions and policies.
- Public health initially evolved through trial and error, later expanding with scientific medical knowledge.
- Public health is sometimes controversial and is often advanced by wars or natural disasters.
- Organized health protection was driven by community development, urbanization, and social reforms.
- Ancient civilizations practiced hygiene, sanitation, and quarantine for religious and cultural reasons.
- Further developed when Hippocrates, Pasteur, and others identified the causes and cures of disease.
- Global pandemics of the 20th and 21st centuries presented new challenges necessitating international cooperation and surveillance.
- Emerging issues in the 21st century include climate change, health equity, bioterrorism and digital health
