Studying fundamentals of Public health as a course should be mandatory for all University students across Bangladesh—-

Bangladesh is a small country with a large number of population.I think it is very important that studying fundamentals of Public health as a course.There are many reasons.Some are given below-

Public Health studies plays a major role in fighting off the biggest killers of human.Public health professionals who have either studied a Public health degree or health studies related course,are constantly battling against diabetes,cancer,heart disease and dementia to maintain the health and well-being of the population.

A fundamental quality of Public health is its preventive nature.Prevention is far more effective and far less expensive than cure.

Public Health is important due to aiding and prolonging life.Through the prevention of health issues,individuals can spend more of their years in good health.

Public health helps detect health issues as early as possible and responds appropriately to avoid the development of disease.

It is diverse and takes into account the health of the whole population,rather than focusing on health at an individual level.

Public health is important as it ensure everyone is aware of health hazards through educational programmes,campaigns and through influencing government policies.

Health is a human right and as a public health professional we are ensuring no one is disadvantaged regardless of their socio economic background.

At the end I think Public health is important because it becomes the voice for individuals who have no voice and simply put,it’s influence on the improvement of someone’s health can be a great satisfaction.
