In this lectorial, we will be looking at core values underlying public health. We will not cover everything. You will have to do some of your own work. But, we do want you to have a good foundation for working through this topic. We will watch different segments of an excellent video produced by Boston Public Health. Boston is one of the key centres for revitalising public health approaches to a number of health related issues that transforms how various agencies work together.

Even homicide is being treated as a public health issue.
