The healthier the people are, the wealthier the community and the public. It is on the healthier premise that the Department of Public and Community Health is founded upon. Today, with emphasis on prevention rather than treatment of the ill, institutions are developing health promotion and wellness programmes for the community and the public at undergraduate level. The Department of Public and Community Health is structured to allow students receive both practical and theoretical knowledge and apply them for health care management. Job opportunities in Public and Community Health are excellent as there are numerous opportunities available in the National Health Service, Local and State governments, international organizations and the private sector.
