Why Pursue A Career In Public Health ?

Public Health means addressing the health needs of the people at a population level. India, a land of 1.4 billion people have health needs like in any other country but face huge challenges from wide range of issues ranging from demand-supply mismatch, poverty, education, inequity, basic needs including safe water, air etc. to name a few. Each state in India has different demographics, different population composition with different yardsticks of development. While some as called as 'BIMARU' states such as Jharkhand, Bihar, UP etc. others are labelled as developed such Kerala, Karnataka etc.
