The public health field is broad and diverse, bringing together experts with very different backgrounds and perspectives. Through close collaboration, healthcare researchers, public health professionals, government officials, community stakeholders, and others seek to mitigate the impact of health problems, from heart disease and diabetes to infectious diseases and environmental hazards. In this regard, National programs at Health protection Agency (HPA) focuses on creating awareness, developing guidelines and surveillance of public health areas. HPA in coordination with relevant stakeholders improve the health of individuals and communities by maintaining public health programs and services. Since the field of public health is largely focused on prevention, community-based programs play a leading role in promoting health-conscious lifestyles and reducing the risks of chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes.
