Public health has been defined as “the science and art of preventing
disease, prolonging life and promoting human health through organized efforts and
informed choices of society, organizations, public and private, communities and
individuals. Analyzing the health of a population and the threats, challenges, and barriers
it faces is the basis for public health. The public can be as small as a handful of people or
as large as a village or an entire city; in the case of a pandemic it may encompass several
continents. The concept of health takes into account physical, Spiritual, emotional,
psychological and social well-being.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_health)
