More Information
Summary:Public Health Winslow (1923) defined public health as the "science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health and efficiency, through organized community effort for the sanitation of the environment, control of communicable infections, education of the individual in personal hygiene, organization of medical and nursing services for the early diagnosis and preventive treatment". [...]the process was started but it has slowed down due to certain administrative issues. Most medical colleges have no/minimum linkage with the health care system and play a limited role in public health services delivery and in fostering academic-health system partnerships[6]Teaching learning (TL) support, equipment and supplies in most of the medical institutions are not inadequate and do not receive priorityTL methods and settings are limited. Modern learning methods should be utilized[2]Integration between Clinical Practice and Public Health: The Community Medicine departments of medical colleges should be more involved in integrated teaching with clinical disciplines and should also be involved in the delivery of services in the teaching hospital and in primary health care settings, such as in immunization, guidance/counselling, biomedical waste management and infection control.
