Is there is difference between healthcare and public health?

There is ancient Islamic wise word said that; if you are in good health and have enough food for one day. It means you own everything in life. Our life days are more messed ever than before and higher levels of demands and wishes but still the main target for many; is to live healthy happy life. It is priceless to keep our mind relax as possible and our body far away from risky diseases. Actually; the same happened for meaning of public health and healthcare; different and complicated meaning definitely describing the whole health systems and service provision process.

But still our question; what is the difference between healthcare and public health?

We are going to explain the core concepts between them not going deeply about system strategies and implementation. Although there are many existed opinions helping to identify the independence between Healthcare and public health but I am privately agreed that they are indeed integrated to each other to do improvement and exaggerate healthy life of the community and population. Moreover; they almost in many situations could not working separately from each other, together or should be complementary in order to reaching the same goals of society health. They are take different roads of working pathways but they are always parallel on the over view. Healthcare is focusing on direct providing medical cured services for sick and patient members of community with immediate medical solutions and by through; system infrastructures, processing operating unites been created with many other stakeholders involved to produce appropriate and acceptable medical service helping to remove harms and risks can be possibly threaten society individuals . While public health working in beside arena to care about whole community and well-being awareness and healthcare education background conceptual thoughts with all related population and society concerns.

But in clear word, Public health does not provide medical services to the public. In different meaning; it paves the road for primary healthcare and forms the concepts and/or awareness necessary to fight any harm faces the whole community by spreading the safety data, information forming awareness toward such harms. Public health is cover well-being science, health promotion, health education, fitness and preventive medicine.

Public health is much close to the medical sciences, for that reason it is hard to draw demarcation between them definitely. Through they working in parallel arena and on the same target but determining model of integration is difficult to be discriminated and that because, a lot of similarities enclose the main work responsibilities and tasks involved. Healthcare and public health is fascinated domain to pay more effort and discover more innovative healthy routes to live healthy life J
