public health crises
Public health crises are significant events that threaten the health and safety of a population. These crises can arise from various sources, including infectious diseases, environmental hazards, or natural disasters. Examples include outbreaks of diseases like COVID-19 or Ebola, which can spread rapidly and overwhelm healthcare systems.
During a public health crisis, governments and health organizations work to manage the situation through measures such as vaccination campaigns, public awareness initiatives, and resource allocation. Effective communication and collaboration are essential to mitigate the impact on communities and ensure that people receive the necessary care and information.
