1.According to Dr.

CE Winslow, Public Health is science and art of preventing

disease, prolonging life, promoting health and efficiency through organized
community effort for the sanitation of the environment, control of communicable
diseases, the education of individuals in personal hygiene, the organization of
medical and nursing services for the early diagnosis and preventive treatment of
disease,
2. Based on his idea that public health was not a static subject or a hygienic
science, but rather a social science, Winslow tried to propel the study of public
health in new directions. Public health, in Winslow's opinion, was emergent, ideal,
and adaptable. It encompassed not just the prevention and control of infectious
diseases, but also the prevention and control of heart disease, cancer, stroke,
mental illness, childhood disorders, and diseases linked to poverty. He defined
public health as "the social machinery to ensure to every individual a standard of
living adequate for the maintenance of health," which included medical and
nursing services as well as the development of "the social machinery to ensure to
every individual a standard of living adequate for the maintenance of health."
