What is public health?

Public health refers to a collection of disciplines that share a common aim — to prevent disease, promote health and improve well-being among the population as a whole rather than focusing on individuals. Some of the most important advances in health internationally over the last century have been public health interventions — including the eradication of smallpox, improvements in workplace safety, reduced morbidity from cholera and decreased trends in tobacco smoking.
