Health is not just the absence of disease—it is the foundation of a meaningful and productive life. In today’s world, where communities face both new and long-standing health challenges, understanding the social and public health aspects of care has never been more important.
This book was written with students in mind, to make the subject clear, approachable, and relevant to everyday practice. Each chapter has been arranged in a simple, logical flow, covering the basics of health and disease, preventive medicine, nutrition, hygiene, and the national health programs that shape the well-being of our country. Real-world examples and practical insights have been included to help readers connect theory with practice.
At its heart, this book is more than an academic resource—it is an invitation to think critically, to care deeply, and to contribute meaningfully to society’s health. We hope it will encourage learners to view public health not only as a subject to study, but as a responsibility to embrace.
