Health
Is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of
disease or infirmity.

Public health
The science and the art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting physical health
and mental health and efficiency through organized community efforts towards a sanitary
environment; the control of community infections; the education of the individual in
principles of personal hygiene; the organization of medical and nursing service for the early
diagnosis and treatment of disease; and the development of the social machinery to ensure
to every individua in the community a standard of living adequate for the maintenance of
health.

The biggest difference between the medical approach and the public health approach is the
focus in the public health on the health of the populations rather than in the health of
individuals.

,Epidemiology focusses on studying patterns and causes of disease in specific populations and
the application of this information to controlling health problems.




Global health
Implies a global perspective on public health problems. It suggests issues that people face in
common, such as the impact of a growing and aging worldwide population on health or the
potential risks of climate change to health. The topic also related in important ways to
problems that require cooperative action. An important part of global health also covers the
growing problem everywhere of noncommunicable diseases, as well as the ‘unfinished
agenda’ of the health needs of the poor in low0income countries.

One health and planetary health
One health is the integrative effort of multiple disciplines working locally, nationally, and
globally to attain optimal health for people, animals, and the environment.

Planetary health is the achievement of the highest attainable standard of health, wellbeing,
and equity worldwide through judicious attention to the human system -political, economic,
and social- that shape the future of humanity and the earth’s natural systems that define the
safe environmental limits within which humanity cab flourish. Put simply, planetary health is
the health of human civilization and the state of the natural systems on which it depends.
