public health systems

Community wellness frameworks

Public health systems are the organized structures—government agencies, institutions, policies, and workforce—responsible for protecting and improving population health.

They monitor disease outbreaks, coordinate vaccination campaigns, ensure safe water and food, and address health threats at the community level rather than treating individuals.

The pandemic exposed weaknesses in public health systems worldwide.
