What is Public Health?
Improving health is a shared responsibility not only of health care providers, and public health officials, but also a variety of other actors in the community who contribute to the well-being of individuals and populations.
"health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." (WHO, 1946)
