ABSTRACT

This study investigates the complex relationship between public health and health planning, specifically how public health influences the design of health systems and services. It looks into the use of public health data and frameworks in health planning to address health inequities, socioeconomic factors, and community-level health issues. Case studies demonstrate effective models in which public health initiatives influence health planning, stressing stakeholder involvement, interdisciplinary methods, and policy frameworks. The study continues by discussing the obstacles and potential for better integrating public health into comprehensive health planning.

Keywords: Public health, health planning, socio-economic determinants, health disparities, community health, policy integration.
