Public Health & Epidemiology

Public Health & Epidemiology focus on understanding the distribution, causes, and prevention of diseases within populations. Epidemiologists analyze health data to track disease outbreaks, identify risk factors, and support the development of effective health policies. This field plays an important role in disease prevention, health promotion, and evidence-based healthcare planning at both local and global levels. It also helps in controlling infectious diseases, monitoring chronic conditions, and improving overall population health outcomes. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for nearly 74% of all global deaths, including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, respiratory diseases, and diabetes.
