Public health is the discipline focused on protecting and improving the health of populations through disease prevention, health education, policy-making, and research rather than treating individual patients. Professionals in this field, including epidemiologists and health policy analysts, work in government agencies, nonprofits, and international organizations like the WHO or CDC.
