Public health is the establishment and maintenance of healthful living conditions for the general population. This goal requires organized effort from all levels of government, health institutions and individuals. There are three principle aims that underlie public health efforts. First is the assessment and monitoring of populations, from the community level to the national level, to identify populations who are at risk for whatever health problem is being considered by public health.

Causes include unsafe medical practices and contaminated products.
However, these estimates do not include the substantial burden and consequences of healthcare-associated infections in non-hospital settings such as long-term care facilities, dialysis settings, and outpatient clinics, where an increasing number of invasive practices are done, however, have climbed, only recently be concerning.
New technologies, will likely play important roles in the control of infectious diseases. These include health communication via social media as well as new laboratory tests and increased understanding of the human microbiome.
An important priority of control of infectious disease is to ensure that scientific and technological advances in molecular diagnostics and bioinformatics are well integrated into public health. Broad and diverse partnerships across governments, health care, academia, and industry, and with the public, are essential to effectively reduce the burden of infectious diseases in food as well.
