Course Overview
The highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being without distinction of race, religion, and political beliefs, or the state of economic and social conditions. For centuries, public Health throughout the world has been recognized as having a concern for the health of all people. It has also been recognized that treating individual illnesses is different from public health’s focus on preventing disease and protecting the health of a population.
Public health is about preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health through the efforts of society. Whether you are already a working professional in this area, or new to the subject, this Post-Graduate Public Health program is ideal for those wishing to address today’s problems in public health.
