Public health addresses the health of whole populations, rather than the individual. The primary focus is on prevention of disease or promotion of good health, rather than clinical services.
Public health as a field also focuses on system-level design of services, policies and programs affecting the health and well-being of the population.
The typical domains of public health include communicable disease control, epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, health promotion, health equity for disadvantaged populations and health policy.
The NMHS Public Health Service includes a number of programs, many which predominantly perform public health functions, and other programs that perform clinical or clinical support roles.
