I would not say that i am not intersted in public health, it will be correct to say that i had little expose on what is public health and what are the aspects that public health revolve around. Now that i am in public health department as one of my clinical rotation prepared by FKUGM, i took this opportunity to explore more about public health and would like to share it with other whom was or still in the dark about what Public Health is all about.
From conducting scientific research to educating about health, people in the field of public health work to assure the conditions in which people can be healthy. That can mean vaccinating children and adults to prevent the spread of disease. Or educating people about the risks of alcohol and tobacco. Public health sets safety standards to protect workers and develops school nutrition programs to ensure kids have access to healthy food.
Public health works to track disease outbreaks, prevent injuries and shed light on why some of us are more likely to suffer from poor health than others. The many facets of public health include speaking out for laws that promote smoke-free indoor air and public safety, spreading the word about ways to stay healthy and giving science-based solutions to problems.
As a conclusion public health saves money, improves our quality of life, helps children thrive and reduces human suffering. So these informations may or may not make individual to purse on public health but nevertheless i find it interesting to get to know about public health.
