Public Health Global Conference

Public Health Epidemiology is the core science used to enhance the population’s health through the prevention, detection, and control of diseases. Epidemiology as the scientific study of the distribution, determinants, and control of disease and other health-related states in assorted populations offers key information concerning population and public health management. They study the factors leading to the occurrence of epidemics, monitor the transmission of communicable and non-communicable diseases, and establish possible predictors of poor health.

In data gathering, processing, and evaluation, epidemiologists are capable of defining at-risk groups and evaluating preventive measures and implementations. The use of technology has improved the field to a large extent, methods such as GIS and big data analytics are useful in determining the occurrence and occurrence of health events. These advancements provide better solutions to respond to the new threats, including the current pandemic, COVID-19, and contribute to the prediction of potential health risks.

It also comprises a social dimension in health and disease since it acknowledges how factors such as economic status, habitat, and universal health elements can affect the community. This has been an important view for determining health inequalities, as well as enhancing equity in health. Epidemiology can therefore be used in public health policies through research findings and this will greatly help communities to prevent disease formulations, control disease outbreaks, and promote healthy populations.
