A country's productivity and level of development are tied, more than most people realize, to the health of its population. Public health, the study of epidemiology and of how diseases and health conditions are distributed across populations, exists to apply that knowledge in practice: controlling health problems, caring for individuals across every sector of society, and ultimately raising a nation's social and economic returns.

This training course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy is for anyone who cares about improving the quality of health services, whatever their role in that chain. Public health professionals typically start with research, studying each population group's health conditions and needs, before they can promote and strengthen public health at scale, and this course walks participants through exactly that process.
