Community health is the health of a group of individuals, including the distribution of health levels within the group. “The goal is to improve the health of a given population.’s A model of care focused on population (community) that prioritizes the individual as a whole, bio psychosocial spirit.
Public health is a model of care focused on the population that prioritizes the biomedical care. Public health is understood as a way of controlling endemic diseases that threaten the economic order.
Public health could not establish a policy of democratic and effective health going beyond the interdisciplinary boundaries, ie, remains centered on hegemonic figure of the doctor.
Thus, many public health programs, endorsed by the World Health Organization, were reduced to medical care. Not prioritizing the psycho, social and spiritual context of human.
Public Health is about health of a population, which is accomplished by ‘preventing disease …organized community efforts’ (Winslow 1920). Efforts for ensuring public health need multidimensional interventions of which medical care provisioning and community organizing/ mobilization being few of those. The ultimate goal of Public health is to improve health of its population in which large scale interventions as that of a national level (role of government) is implied as different from community health where it is at a smaller level (a city, a village and so on).
Community medicine being a specialization in medicine originally was involved in taking medicine and its developments to individuals in the community. This gradually added those interventions other than medicine also into the pool thereby becoming very similar to Public health.
