What does public health do: put evidence into practice for the benefit of the population at large, set policy, monitor the community for disease, conduct inspections, provide communications, harm reduction. Infectious disease: chronic disease, travel health, food safety, emergency preparedness and response. Injury prevention: lab biosafety and biosecurity, surveillance.
