Abstract:
It has been always a point of debate when it comes to leadership of
public health. However, there has always been a competition
between doctors and nondoctors to gain this leadership in their
hands. Public health has always been an important task as it
encompasses the life of every person in society and is of prime
importance in maintaining the quality of life. Moreover, public
health leaders are responsible for identifying national health pro-
blems and formulating policies to cater to them. They are also
responsible for collaborating with international stakeholders to
solve public health problems as recently has been seen in the
coronavirus disease-2012 pandemic[1]
. Public health deals with the
promotion, maintenance as well protection of the health of indi-
viduals. Such multidisciplinary work requires a team effort. 4 As
are used to encompass these multidimensional activities of public
health: academics, activism, administration, and advocacy[2]
.
