Bangladesh is a very small country with a densely population. so, here we, the native people can  never run out of problems. And to solve these problems, there should be an organized structural work out of young educated generations, like those who are studying graduation. We need a collaboration between the students and the Public health experts to solve problems that routinely find solutions to community and global health issues. And these students must be trained with the fundamental knowledge of public health to get the most effective benefits from them.

Many students bring a strong commitment to social justice into the classroom, and universities are responding. Through the knowledge of fundamentals of public health, students can expect to learn about structural determinants of health, historical impacts on modern outcomes and detailed ways to tailor public health programming to specific communities.

Being a very small country, there are emerging public health crises in Bangladesh. However, these crises are more likely to address the long-term consequences of the outbreaks, if they are not controlled in expert hand. For example, covid 19, zika virus outbreak etc do disrupt the local health system after an outbreak, while a larger organization would be the first responders. And student society can work as a larger organization as well as the first responders too by the knowing the the ABCD of public health.

It is also true that every students should know about the individual approach to the society as well as the country they belong to. Because a student who does not know the meaning of "Health" properly, can't take care of his own health as well as the heath of family, society and the country. so, to gain this knowledge, a student should know about fundamentals of public health.

Moreover, the knowledge of public heath can offer a constant variety in students working life and may also consider a public health career. It can also give a chance to be a self employer to the students in the future life.
