Describe the meaning of public health. Discuss the major public health measures undertaken by the state in recent years to control diseases.



Answer -

 Public health refers to the health status of all the people of the country.
Some measures undertaken by the state in recent years to control diseases are:

  1.  Success in the long-term battle against diseases depends on education and efficient health infrastructure. It is, therefore, critical to create awareness on health and hygiene systems.
  2.  The role of telecom and IT sectors cannot be neglected in this process.
  3.  The effectiveness of health care programmes also rests on primary centres. Efforts should be made to make PHCs more efficient.
  4. Encouragement should be given to private-public partnership. They can effectively ensure reliability, quality and affordability of both drugs and medical care.
