SAHMRI's research into Public Health
Public Health

Public health is a field of science focused on improving the general physical and mental health of a population, primarily through promoting healthy lifestyles to prevent disease before it occurs.

The Health Policy Centre at SAHMRI has specific interests in alcohol use, tobacco control and food and beverage guidelines and has been instrumental in shaping governmental responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.
