Public Health

Meaning

Public Health is the organized societal effort dedicated to protecting and improving the health of entire populations through the promotion of healthy lifestyles, disease prevention, and the surveillance of environmental and behavioral risks. It focuses on population-level interventions rather than individual clinical treatment. In the context of endocrinology, this involves population screening for environmental endocrine disruptors and large-scale nutritional guidance. This discipline aims for widespread, preventative impact.
