public health system
Population care infrastructure
A public health system is the network of government agencies, institutions, and programs that protect and improve population health.
This includes disease surveillance, vaccination campaigns, sanitation standards, health education, and emergency response.
The public health system tracked the outbreak through contact tracing.
Distinguished from individual medical care, public health focuses on communities rather than patients.
