Course overview

Public healthcare aims to provide communities with access to healthcare at hospitals and clinics. On the other hand, health promotion is the science and art of enabling people to increase self-control and improve their overall wellbeing. Factors such as life expectancy, childhood obesity, future pandemics and other environmental factors have a major impact on public health. Health promotion assists in mitigating negative impacts on public health by empowering people to enhance self-management and improve their overall health and well-being.

This short learning programme has been developed by industry experts to provide healthcare workers involved in the public healthcare domain with a comprehensive understanding of strategy, management, and implementation of delivering public health services.
