Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Public health as a concept has been present throughout all ages and cultures. There is no group, however poor its living conditions, that has not organized its environment, assured the quality of its diet, protected individuals from afflictions, decided how waste should be disposed of, or indeed regulated its activities and cared about its people.
