public health infrastructure
Societal disease prevention framework
Public health infrastructure is the systems, institutions, and resources that protect and promote community health.
This includes disease surveillance networks, laboratories, emergency response teams, sanitation systems, and the trained workforce that operates them.
The pandemic exposed weaknesses in public health infrastructure across the country.
Unlike individual medical care, the focus is prevention and population-level health outcomes.
