Public health is a specialized field of science that enables public health professionals to prevent  and manage the outbreak of dreadful diseases and to build healthy societies across the world.  People working in the field of public health have a mix of academic qualifications and they are  different in the type of public health-related functions they perform. Some work in wellness  training and education, healthcare services, environmental health, epidemiology, dietetics,  women and infant health, etc. Regulatory agencies have suggested the three most important goals  of the public health profession. These goals are to safeguard, enhance and improvise the health  of the general population over and above the established boundaries. 

To safeguard refers to examining and determining the positive aspects and the pitfalls related to  any medical therapy. To enhance refers to informing the general population of the possible  advantages of a health-related product or device. To improvise indicates motivating and  supporting scientists to develop more and more breakthrough solutions that can have the  potential to detect or treat common health problems. Numerous efficient training courses in  public health are required in many parts across the world especially the developing regions so as  to produce trained public health professionals. 

The function of public health enables the government to come up with health policies for people  that have high chances of being infected with a certain disease, figuring out the country’s health  problems, and functioning in the direction of providing easy access to healthcare set-ups for the  community. 

This public health course conducted by Africa College of Professionals is extensive and has been  developed and assessed by knowledgeable public health experts making it appropriate for new  graduates as well as professionals already working in the healthcare / public health sector.
