Introduction
Health policy development has focused on individuals and the role of medical care in preventing and treating disease and injury . Recent attention to health inequities and social determinants of health has raised the profile of population health and evidence-based strategies for improving the health of whole populations This presentation reviews a historical developments in the fields of risk management and population, health and proposes a joint population health risk management framework that integrates the key elements of both fields
Introduction
Risk science has started at the 1970s, and since that time it has been developed into powerful tool for managing technological change. Modern risk analysis took shape with the application of probabilistic risk assessment methods in the evaluation of reactor safety. As a result of the air pollution in urban areas in Canada associated with motor vehicle and industrial emissions has been linked to adverse health effects, which raised the important of the policy questions about pollution management .We still know little about the potential risks from genetically modified organisms, including foods, therapeutic products, and best control products.
Introduction
The evolution in thinking about how to manage health and environmental risks associated with modern technology and technological change. In 1983, the U.S. National Research Council (NRC) issued a pioneering report on Risk Assessment in the Federal Government: Managing the Process This work proposed a comprehensive framework for assessing and managing health and environmental risks that has influenced the development of risk management policy. This and subsequent frameworks provide guidance both on scientific approaches to characterize risks, and on policy options for managing them.
Introduction
The concept of population health has also emerged over the past 30 years, during which it became accepted that changes in lifestyle or social and physical environments may have a greater impact on population health than the health system.
Although risk management and population health evolved largely independently, both approaches offer firm bases for guiding evidence-based health policy

Risk Management
Risk management: refers to the process of evaluating alternative regulatory options and selecting among them. The results of risk characterization are used to identify potential options that are then evaluated in terms of expected public health, economic, social, and political consequences. The responsible agency then makes a decision and implements the selected option.
The Risk Determination Framework consists of two major components: Risk assessment and Risk management .

Conclusion
Although it is now widely recognized that a variety of determinants can influence our health, the conceptualization of health and the determination of how health can be achieved and how health inequalities and inequities can be reduced remains complex. An integrated approach provides a stronger foundation for evidence-based population health risk management decision-making by encouraging a more consistent, systematic and comprehensive evaluation of population health issues.
