Javno zdravstvo

Javno zdravstvo, or public health, refers to the science and art of promoting health, preventing disease, and prolonging life through organized efforts of society, organizations, public and private, communities, and individuals. The focus of public health is on population-level health rather than individual clinical care. This field encompasses a wide range of activities aimed at protecting and improving the health of communities through education, policy-making, research, and interventions designed to ensure access to healthcare, safe environments, and healthy behaviors. Public health initiatives may include vaccination programs, health education campaigns, disease surveillance, and health policy advocacy, all aiming to address health disparities and protect the well-being of the population.
