The field of global public health serves as an important foundation for the promotion and protection of health - locally, nationally, and globally. While clinical health professionals such as doctors and nurses work to treat illness and injury once they have occurred, global public health is focused on preventing problems from happening or re-occurring through the administration of prevention services, health education and promotion, policy development and regulation, and research.
