Government health agencies are organizations established by national or local governments to protect and improve public health. They monitor health trends, conduct research, and implement health policies. Examples include the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States and the World Health Organization (WHO) globally. These agencies provide essential services such as disease prevention, health education, and emergency response during health crises. They also regulate healthcare practices and ensure that medical products are safe and effective. By collaborating with other organizations, government health agencies work to promote overall community well-being.
