Public Health and Preventive Medicine focuses on the promotion of health, the prevention of disease, and the protection of population well-being. This clinical and academic specialty addresses both individual and community health through integrated strategies combining medical knowledge, epidemiology, environmental health, and behavioral sciences.

Specialists in this field work on the prevention and control of communicable and non-communicable diseases, the planning and implementation of vaccination programs, and the development of public health policies. Their activities also include epidemiological research, health promotion campaigns, and emergency response in case of outbreaks.

Services are delivered across hospitals, public health institutions, and research centers, often in collaboration with local and international health authorities. The aim is to reduce health disparities, increase life expectancy, and ensure timely access to safe, effective, and preventive healthcare for all.
