Public Health Law refers to the legal framework that governs the actions and policies aimed at protecting and promoting the health of populations. It encompasses a variety of regulations, statutes, and case law that address issues such as disease control, health care access, and environmental health. These laws are designed to prevent health risks and ensure that communities have the resources they need to maintain public health. Key components of Public Health Law include the authority of government agencies, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to implement health measures during outbreaks and emergencies. Additionally, it covers the legal rights of individuals regarding health care and the responsibilities of public health officials to safeguard community well-being.
