Public health and the White Paper

Abstract

Public health in its modern sense estab‐lished itself during the end of the last century. A legitimate conclusion from a study of the last hundred years or so is that the mainspring of its work has been the state of health of populations and the articulation of their health needs. These needs encompass both the means to promote health and prevent disease, as well as the provision of health care.
