The current concept of “Public Health” began to develop in the mid-18th century, in a time characterized by large social movements that positively impacted the health of the population. Different definitions have emerged that frame Public Health as a branch of medicine whose fundamental interest is concern for health from a collective perspective. This program has a vision committed to the promotion of health, the prevention of disease and the prolongation of life through the organized effort of society.
Among the most important objectives that Public Health has assumed are the following:

Prevention of epidemics and the spread of diseases.
Protection against environmental damage.
Prevention of health damage.
Promotion and encouragement of healthy behaviors.
Response to disasters and assistance to affected communities.
Guarantee of quality and accessibility to health services.

Monitoring and analysis of the health situation of the population.
