From the ancient origins of epidemiology to the rise of occupational health, maternal and infant health care, and nutrition, from the birth of population statistics to the first national health survey, the first local health administration system, and the founding of the first international health organization, George Rosen, a leading figure in health sciences and a pioneer in the social history of medicine, details the major milestones in the history of public health, showing the history of health in the context of politics, economics, science, and thought, and telling a story about setbacks and progress, confusion, and struggle. "History of Public Health" connects the past and present, trying to find the necessary conditions for public health progress from history, so as to point out the future direction.
