ABSTRACT

Public health is essential for preserving and increasing global health standards. Public health activities, which include preventative measures, education, policy changes, and healthcare services, aim to reduce sickness and promote general well-being. This study investigates the historical evolution of public health, its fundamental principles, and the role of epidemiology in creating interventions like vaccination campaigns. It also emphasizes difficulties confronting public health systems, such as gaps in healthcare access, increasing infectious illnesses, and the need for adaptive solutions to shifting global health risks. Moving forward, comprehensive approaches and strong public health surveillance systems are required to maintain gains in promoting health standards.

Keywords: Public health, health standards, disease prevention, epidemiology, vaccination programs, health equity.
