Public Health is the method of protecting and improving the health of communities through education, promotion of healthy lifestyles, and research for disease and injury prevention. Public health professionals analyse the effect of genetics on health, personal choice and the environment in order to develop programs that protect the health of your family and community. Overall, public health is concerned with protecting the health of entire group of people. These populations can be as small as a locality, or as big as an entire country. Public health professionals try to prevent problems from occurring or re-occurring through implementing educational programs, developing policies, administering services, regulating health systems and some health professions, and conducting research, in contrast to clinical professionals, such as doctors and nurses, who focus primarily on treating people after they become sick or injured. It is also a field that is concerned with limiting health disparities and a part of public health is the fight for health care equity, quality, and accessibility. The field of public health is highly varied and contains many academic disciplines. The great positive impact of public health programs is widely admitted by the increase in the life expectancy of different countries such as USA, Japan and Germany.
