Public health refers to the science and practice of protecting and improving the health of communities and populations through education, promotion of healthy lifestyles, and research for disease and injury prevention. It encompasses a broad range of activities aimed at ensuring accessible healthcare, curbing disease outbreaks, and enhancing overall health through policy changes, health education, and community engagement.
