2. Define public policy and discuss how Americans fare on key measures of childhood health and well-being policies for the elderly. Then explain how both affluence and poverty can negatively affect development.
The new public health is a contemporary application of a broad name of evidence-based
scientific, technological, and management systems implementing measures to improve the
health of individuals and populations. It’s main objectives are the political and practical
application of lessons learned from past successes and failures in disease control and the
promotion of preventive measures to combat existing, evolving and re-emerging health threats
and risks. We address present and anticipated health problems in a complex world with great
inequalities with specific targets which would help to achieve higher standards of health and a
more just and socially responsible distribution of resources. We present some examples of
achievement in public health and clinical medicine, particularly from the past half century,
that have resulted in improved disease control and increased longevity for populations. The
tools at our disposal today are much more effective than they were ten years ago. The new public
health is relevant to all countries, developing, transitional, or industrialized, all facing different
combinations of epidemiologic, demographic, economic and health systems challenges.
The fundamental policy of the NPH is based not only on responsibility and accountability
of national, regional, and local governments for the health and well-being of society, but also
involve the self-care by the individual and the community. It also involves the voluntary
organizational and private sectors, such as food, medical equipment, pharmaceutical and
vaccine manufactuers. Health promotion and medical care systems will need to address health
inequalities, access to services,and quality of care, and define
