Definition(s)
- Populations have always been concerned with the health of their members and the health of other populations with whom they interact. Although specific problems change with evolving socio-environmental and political contexts, several concerns persist: the control of transmissible diseases; the control of the physical environment, including sanitation; the provision of sufficient, clean water and nutritious food; the provision of medical care and the specific role of primary care; the relief of destitution and destruction, including wars, famines, and poverty; the economics of who pays for healthcare; and the politics of setting health policies.
