In this video we take a look at Public Health – the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health through the organized efforts of society. Public health focuses on improving the health of a population and preventing health problems before they happen. It is a broad field and covers a range of topics such as air pollution, epidemiology, communicable disease control, risk assessment and health promotion. We’ll take a look at what public health is, how it is different to clinical medicine, who is responsible for doing it and how it’s done!

Chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes pose a significant burden on the country. The Lifestyle Medicine program aimed to empower patients with type 2 diabetes to adopt healthier lifestyles and actively participate in the management of their condition. The project implementation was overseen by the Malaysia Ministry of Health, supported by the WHO Representative Office for Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam and Singapore, with funding support from Denmark.
The voices of patients and healthcare providers involved in the program echo the value of lifestyle medicine to empower individuals to make healthier lifestyle choices. By integrating lifestyle medicine into primary care settings, this program could serve as a foundation for a comprehensive and patient-centered approach to combat the growing burden of type 2 diabetes in Malaysia.
