Abstract

As public health, functions are designed with the public good in mind. It is a difficult endeavor that is influenced by a wide range of policies from various sectors. Before the end of the nineteenth century, Ethiopia had little knowledge of current healthcare methods. Ethiopians began getting rudimentary public health services in the late nineteenth century, with the entrance of Christian missionaries and the medical revolution's sciences. Following that, various health institutions were built, and various policies were put in place. This review aimed to demonstrate the development, approaches, and functions of public health in Ethiopia by assembling relevant data from multiple literature databases, different books, and teaching materials. To protect and improve population health, public health employs models, technologies, experience, and data gathered through consumer engagement, translational research, and population sciences. Increasing public health is critical for a country's growth, particularly in developing countries such as Ethiopia, where the healthcare system is frail and woefully inadequate. Adequate policy responses to shifts in health patterns, as well as the number and capacity of community-based health worker training centers for the prevention and treatment of non-communicable diseases and injuries, are required with the ultimate goal of improving the health of Ethiopia's growing population.
