Public health has been around for a long time. Suffice it to recall one of the oldest government agencies in the United States - the Public Health Service, which emerged back in 1798 [4]. Public health at different times and in different countries meant different structures - from those responsible for monitoring the sanitary and epidemiological state of society to ministries responsible for organizing medical care and public health.
