Community Medicine

Community Medicine represents a relatively recent addition to the medical field, often synonymous with Preventive and Social Medicine (PSM), Public Health, and Community Health. These disciplines converge on a shared objective: the prevention of disease and the promotion of health. In essence, Community Medicine offers a holistic spectrum of health services encompassing preventive, promotive, curative, and rehabilitative interventions. The significance of Community Medicine has garnered widespread recognition and endorsement at various levels, spanning from grassroots initiatives to international agendas, extending beyond the confines of the healthcare sector into related domains. Over the past few decades, the scope of medicine has evolved to address not only individual health concerns but also those affecting entire communities. Achieving the goal of Health For All hinges significantly on the contributions of Community Medicine.
