Ensure the safety of the community

Why Public Health Management courses need to be updated

The public health management system focuses on healthy practices at the community level; it makes people aware about chronic and communicable diseases and educates them about a healthy life. A good public health management system has the ability to monitor health and environmental status to identify and solve community health problems. Essentially, there are three aspects — assessment and evaluation, policy-making, and assurance. The system has trained manpower to diagnose and investigate environmental health issues and hazards within a community. Public policy experts work closely with policymakers to enforce laws and regulations that help protect against health hazards and ensure community safety. The policy should be the catalyst to link people with required environmental health services by setting up a competent health workforce, assuring smooth supply of vaccines, preventive drugs, and, finally, researching for new innovative solutions to public health hazards.
