The importance of public health:
1, public health helps to prevent diseases. By raising public health awareness, people can pay more attention to their own health and take preventive measures to reduce the occurrence of diseases. For example, frequent hand washing, reasonable diet and moderate exercise are all manifestations of public health awareness and can effectively prevent many diseases.
2. Public health helps to improve the health level of the whole society. When people are generally aware of public health, society will form a healthy lifestyle and environment, thus effectively reducing the risk of disease transmission and improving the overall health level. This is of great significance to the development of individuals and the whole society.
3. Public health also plays an important role in social stability and development. A healthy group means less medical burden and higher production efficiency, which is conducive to social and economic development and social stability. At the same time, public health also helps to promote social fairness and justice, because everyone should enjoy medical care and a healthy life equally.
