Thematic areas to consider in your Public Health programme series

As highlighted in Module 1, Public Health refers to much more than the goal of being healthy. It includes external living conditions such as climate and clean environment, social aspects such as poverty reduction, comprehensive access to the health system for all but also the factual and evidence-based discussion of medical findings and ways to counter disinformation.

Public Health is therefore also by the WHO defined as “the art and science of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through the organized efforts of society”. Activities to strengthen public health capacities and service aim to provide conditions under which people can maintain to be healthy, improve their health and wellbeing, or prevent the deterioration of their health.
