In this episode of Restful Record, we journey through the fascinating world of public health — exploring how science, policy, and community action come together to protect populations worldwide. From historic epidemics like cholera, smallpox, and the Spanish flu, to modern-day challenges such as COVID-19, Ebola,  we uncover the stories behind the greatest global health responses in history. Learn about the rise of epidemiology, the importance of vaccination programs, disease surveillance, and health promotion, and how public health professionals work to prevent outbreaks before they begin. Tune in to understand the systems that keep societies safe — and how lessons from past pandemics continue to shape our global public health future.
