The Need to Review Public Health Education

The purpose of public health activities is to provide conditions in which people can be healthy that requires the participation of other sectors and the community. But in our country, the training of public health personnel has been mainly focused on some diseases and maternal and child health care. Services provided by public health graduates are focused on individuals, while public health services, according to its definition and examples in developed countries, should be population-based. According to the real needs of the community and health staff, it is necessary, in the context of the education transformation plan and in line with responsive and community-based education, to revise the curriculum of this field, by emphasizing training individual care and public health services in order to train two separate groups of health professionals.
