What about (us)?

Health Sciences and Public Health deal with

• explanations and implications of health conditions and disease causes,
• interactions between humans and their natural, technical and social environments,
• health promotion
• coping with and/or overcoming of diseases
• performances of the health system and possibilities to politically influence it
• evaluation and quality control of the health system.

The chair of Health Sciences / Public Health understands health in accordance with the WHO definition as not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, but also a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. Our interdisciplinary team engages in teaching as well as research at the Faculty of Medicine of the TU Dresden.
