The application of the biological, social and behavioural sciences to the study of health phenomena in human populations.
Notes :
It encompasses two main objects of analysis : first, the epidemiological study of health conditions of populations and, second, the study of the organized social response to those conditions, in particular, the way in which that response is structured through the health care system.
The new public health entails systematic efforts to identify health needs and to organize comprehensive services with a well-defined population base. It thus includes the processes of gathering the information required to characterize the conditions of the population and mobilizing the resources necessary to respond to such conditions. In this regard, the essence of public health is the health of the public. Therefore, it includes "the organization of personnel and facilities for providing all the health services required for health promotion, disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment of illnesses, and physical, social and vocational rehabilitation".Terme :
