Question

 

Q1: How are the various fields of public health interdependent?

Q2: How does the study of public health microbiology and medical microbiology differ?

 

Answer 1

PUBLIC HEALTH: It is the Science of protecting the safety and improving the health of communities through education,policy making and research for disease and injury protection.

Services of Public Health:

1. Moniotr Health Status to identify and solve community health prolems
2. Diagnose and investigate Health problems and Heath Hazards in the community
3. Inform,educate and empower people about health issues
4. Mobilize community partnerships and action to identify and solve health problems
5. Develop policies and plans that support individual and community health efforts
6. Enforce laws and regulations that protect health and ensure safety
7. Link people to needed personal health services and assure the provision of health care
8. Assure competent public and personal health care workforce
9. Evaluate effectiveness,accessibility and quality of personal and population based health services
10. Research for new insights and innovative solutions to health problems.

As above said the services of Public Health, the subject itself do not carry out all services it has the need of Other fields of study.

For Example,

1. BIOSTATISTICS AND INFORMATICS - It helps in analysis of data and its application to health care by using their models to ttack health of a population and identify trends.
2. COMMUNITY HEALTH:Their part is influencing the overall health of a particular community by initiating wellness programmes,undertake ducational activities and create resources for promoting healthy living.
3. EPIDEMIOLOGY:It help in monitoring the spread of diseases and work to understand their causes and develop solutions.

THE ABOVE SAID EXAMPLES ARE SOME FIELDS IN PUBLIC HEALTH, Epidemiologist gives the information about a disease in an area and its causes of spread and prevention then the biostastician analyse the people in te communit, number of affected people and percentage of causes of disease then the community health worker provide the details of the disease to the people,thier preventive methods and supply medicines/Taken them to healthcare professional. THIS SHOWS A EXAMPLE FOR HOW THE FIELDS IN PUBLIC HEALTH ARE INTERDEPENDENT

PUBLIC HEALTH MICROBIOLOGY	MEDICAL MICROBIOLOGY
It is a crosscutting area that spans the fields of human,animal,food,water and environmental microbiology with a focus on human health and disease	It is the study of microbes,such as bacteria,fungi,viruses and parasites which causes the human illness and their role in the disease.
It studies or interpret the development,progress and interpret the diagnostics at the population level no in single patient	It studies the development and progess of a infectious disease by a microbe in a single patient in human population
They work mainly with branches like Epidemiology and Clinical Medicine	They work mainly with Pathology,Immunology, Bacteriology, virology, Mycology and Parasitology
