This is Public Health

Public Health is inherently global. In an increasingly interconnected world, events that occur irrespective of political or natural borders – whether pandemics, natural disasters, or environmental pollution – affect everyone. The United States is a preferred destination for many international students who want to study public health, largely because of the academic reputation and world-wide influence of America’s schools and programs of public health. Most international students are studying public health in the US so that they can return to - and improve the health of their home countries and build a safer planet.

ASPPH strongly urges Congress and the courts to reverse these mean and misguided policy changes, intended to marginalize those whose only crime is to seek to improve the health of everyone, everywhere.
