As a guiding light, consider health policy.

Due to well-worn practices etched on his mind, Mango goes through the drudgery of a daily routine. Similarly, a health policy is a type of practice that many people follow simply because it exists. Just because something is present does not guarantee that it will remain so. Many professionals with sufficient knowledge and experience in the vast area of health care can be involved in the establishment of new policies as well as the assessment and improvement of existing ones.

As the world changes in a variety of ways, it is an unavoidable fact that health is one of the variables that must be considered. It is perhaps a sensible step ahead to pursue studies in this sector if one develops a genuine interest in enhancing methods of delivering health care services to all levels of consumers. Because society is as diverse as a fruit salad, the requirements for each section are plainly different. The many stages of health are influenced by a variety of elements such as affordability, genetics, inherited qualities, cross-cultural occurrences, and a variety of other factors. A health-care policy that benefits the majority may exclude a minority population and vice versa.

By analyzing current policies and recommending changes to incorporate all relevant aspects, one who is well-versed is thus able to make a difference in how the practice is carried out. Health care services are not just about the act of administering drugs and rehabilitative care as they are about ensuring what the big picture is about.

With the push to bring health care into the digital environment, proper management of information is imperative to ensure no misuse and abuse of confidential data. To minimize legal issues related to any Relevant watchdogs must establish, implement, and enforce rock-solid procedures to prevent misappropriation. When we dig further, we discover that many diseases cannot be cured permanently until the psychological or behavioral causes are controlled, reduced, or eliminated. Another serious complication that arises as a result of a person's moral or social ill-health, but which receives little attention, is that not only does the person suffer from the negative effects of these psychic factors on his body, but he also causes ill-health to many others who live with him, work with him, or deal with him. The medical profession has always been seen as a noble one, as its members provide an important service to humanity. 

The fragmentation of the governmental public health infrastructure is in part a direct result of the way in which governmental roles and responsibilities at the federal, state, and local levels have evolved over history. This history also explains why the nation lacks a comprehensive national health policy that could be used to align health-sector investment, governmental public health agency structure and function, and incentives for the private sector to work more effectively as part of a broader public health system. In this chapter, the committee reviews the organization of governmental public health agencies. The chapter then examines some of the most critical shortcomings in the public health infrastructure at the federal, state, and local levels: the preparation of the public health workforce, inadequate information systems and public health laboratories, and organizational impediments to effective management of public health activities. The committee recommends steps that must be taken to respond to these challenges so that governmental public health agencies can meet their obligations within the public health system to protect and improve the population's health.

The committee thinks that both the federal and state governments have a role to play in ensuring public health. Public health is mostly a local and state role from a historical and constitutional standpoint. The states and municipal governments play a vital and crucial role. However, the federal government has the resources, experience, and responsibility to examine the nation's health and make recommendations for improvement. The committee urges the federal government to participate in planning for national and regional funding in order to ensure a strong public health infrastructure.
