Public health medicine is the epidemiological analysis of medicine concerned with the health and care of populations and population groups. It involves the assessment of health and health care needs, the development of policy and strategy, the promotion of health, the control and prevention of disease, and the organisation of services. Public heath medicine also includes reducing inequalities across socioeconomic and cultural groups, and promoting environments in which everyone can be healthy.
