Abstract

Health always remains a core component in the life of human beings and considered as a major instrument of overall socio-economic development. Concept of health has been defined and understood in different ways by different cultures. The two major division of medicine namely curative and preventive medicine came into light at the close of 19th century. Although origin of Medicine and Public health goes back to ancient Greek mythology, Asclepius was the Greek god of Healing. He was the son of Apollo and the Coronis. Asclepius was married to Epione, with whom he had five daughters: Hygieia, Panacea, Aceso, Iaso, and Aglaea. Hygieia was the goddess of health, cleanliness and hygiene. Follower of panacea practiced curative medicine and were called healer and followers of Hygieia were called as Hygienist or Public Health experts (1). Concept of Public Health came from this hygienist category of healthcare personals. The Constitution of the World Health Organization, which came into force on April 7, 1948, defines health “as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.”(2) In today’s world more emphasis is given on physical health and most of the resources are diverted for the care of physical health especially for the medical treatment. Other domains of health care remain neglected. Public health applies to the holistic approach for the care of health. Physical health is best taken care by the judicious mix of public health and medical domain of health. The evolution of concepts of public health tries to address new challenges of population health like non communicable diseases, cancers, accidents, injuries, inequities, increasing cost of care, poor quality of care, and poor patient satisfaction etc. 
公共卫生管理:公共卫生相关问题的治疗工具
健康始终是人类生活的核心组成部分,被视为全面社会经济发展的主要工具。不同的文化以不同的方式定义和理解了健康的概念。医学的两大分支,即治疗医学和预防医学,在19世纪末出现。虽然医学和公共卫生的起源可以追溯到古希腊神话,但阿斯克勒庇俄斯是希腊的治疗之神。他是阿波罗和科罗尼人的儿子。阿斯克勒庇俄斯与伊庇俄尼结婚,育有五个女儿:海吉娅、帕那恰、阿塞索、亚索和阿格拉。Hygieia是健康、清洁和卫生的女神。万灵药的追随者从事治疗医学,被称为治疗师,Hygieia的追随者被称为卫生学家或公共卫生专家(1)。公共卫生的概念来源于卫生员这一类的保健人员。1948年4月7日生效的《世界卫生组织章程》将健康定义为“身体、心理和社会完全健康的状态”。医疗保健的其他领域仍然被忽视。公共卫生适用于整体保健方法。身体健康最好通过将公共卫生和医疗健康领域明智地结合起来来照顾。公共卫生概念的演变试图应对人口健康的新挑战,如非传染性疾病、癌症、事故、伤害、不平等、护理成本增加、护理质量差和患者满意度差等。
