Risque pour la santé publique

Definition from OMS:
La maîtrise ou l’endiguement des risques connus pour la santé publique est l’un des moyens les plus efficaces de renforcer la sécurité sanitaire internationale car ces menaces constituent la grande majorité des événements pouvant créer une urgence de santé publique visée par le Règlement sanitaire international (2005).
Example sentences:
La santé publique peut être définie comme l'étude, d'une part, des déterminants physiques, psychosociaux et socioculturels de la santé de la population et d'autre part des actions en vue d'améliorer la santé de la population[1], ou comme une activité organisée de la société visant à promouvoir, à protéger, à améliorer et, le cas échéant, à rétablir la santé de personnes, de groupes ou de la population entière[2].
