Impact of Health Security, Public Health and Epidemiology Policies on Public Health Outcomes

Abstract

This paper explores the intersection of health security policies and public health outcomes, emphasizing their importance in safeguarding populations from health crises such as pandemics, infectious diseases, and bioterrorism. It examines the theoretical underpinnings of health security, including public health and epidemiological perspectives, and evaluates their practical applications in global and national contexts. The study highlights the critical role of health security policies in reducing disease transmission, enhancing healthcare system resilience, and promoting public health equity. Challenges such as funding gaps, governance issues, and health inequities are discussed, along with recommendations to improve policy implementation. This research underscores the need for international collaboration, equitable resource distribution, and integration of technology to strengthen health security and achieve sustainable public health outcomes.
