About this title

Book Description:

Public health reflects the health needs of the collective community, be it a village, a city, or the world. Public health issues, including disease prevention, health promotion, human rights, and bioterrorism, affect all of us. Unlike personal health care, which is vital of all of us some of the time, public health is vital to all of us all of the time.
