Dr. Bhakti Rathor

Population health is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the health outcomes and well-being of entire communities or populations, rather than just individual patients. It encompasses a wide range of factors that influence health, including social, economic, environmental, and healthcare-related determinants. This abstract provides an overview of key concepts and trends in population health. It explores the importance of addressing disparities in health outcomes, the role of public health interventions, and the impact of globalization on population health. Additionally, it highlights the need for collaborative efforts among healthcare professionals, policymakers, and communities to improve population health and promote health equity.

Population health is a multidisciplinary approach that focuses on the health outcomes of groups of individuals, considering various factors that influence their well-being. This concept goes beyond traditional healthcare by addressing not only disease prevention and treatment but also the broader determinants of health, such as social, economic, and environmental factors. This paper explores the fundamental principles of population health, its significance in improving public health, and the challenges it faces in today's diverse and rapidly changing world. By examining the interplay between individual and collective health, this research aims to provide insights into the development of effective strategies and policies to enhance the health and well-being of entire populations.
