Since a strong (and effective) infrastructure must be in place for any organization to succeed, one can not easily impact health determinants without a well-equipped agency. In particular, in order to maintain and positively impact the health/environment of the public, a public health system must be available and have the necessary resources to complete their mission in this regard.

Learning Objectives:

• Understanding determinants of health
• Understanding public health infrastructure
• Developing an understanding of their linkages
• Relationship between infrastructure and health

Keywords: Health, Indicators
