The 10 Essential Public Health Services

A pie chart describing the ten essential public health services. The description reads: "To protect and promote the health of all people in all communities. The ten essential public health services provide a framework for public health to protect and promote the health of all people in all communities. To achieve optimal health for all, the essential public health services actively promote policies, systems, and services that enable good health and seek to remove obstacles and systemic and structural barriers, such as poverty, racism, gender discrimination, and other forms of oppression, that have resulted in health inequities. Everyone should have a fair and just opportunity to achieve good health and well-being." In the middle of the pie chart, it says "Equity" and is divided into three categories. The first category is "Assessment". The first statement under Assessment is: Assess and monitor population health.

The third statement is: Create, champion, and implement policies, plans, and laws. The fourth statement is: Utilize legal and regulatory actions. The third category on the pie chart is: "Assurance". The first statement under this category is: Enable equitable access. The second statement is: Build a diverse and skilled workforce. The third statement is: Improve and innovate through evalutation, research, and quality improvement. The fourth statement is: Build and maintain a strong organizational infrastructure for public health.
