Public health is a term much used in the media by health professionals & by activists At the national or the local level there are ministries or departments of public health whilst international agencies such as the World Health Organisation promote public health policies & regional organisations such as the European Union have public health funding & policies But what do we mean when we speak about 'public health'? In this Very Short Introduction Virginia Berridge explores the areas which fall under the remit of public health & explains how the individual histories of different countries have come to cause great differences in the perception of the role & responsibilities of public health organisations Thus in the United States litigation on public health issues is common but state involvement is less while some Scandinavian countries have a tradition of state involvement or even state ownership of industries such as alcohol in connection with public health In its narrowest sense public health can refer to the health of a population the longevity of individual members & their freedom from disease but it can also be anticipatory geared to the prevention of illness rather than simply the provision of care & treatment In the way public health deals with healthy as well as sick people it is therefore a separate concept from health services which deal with the sick population Drawing on a wide range of international examples Berridge demonstrates the central role of history to understanding the amorphous nature of public health today ABOUT THE SERIES The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly Our expert authors combine facts analysis perspective new ideas & enthusiasm to make interesting & challenging topics highly readable ...
