The document discusses the changing concepts in public health over different time periods from 1900 to 2000. It describes four phases: 1) the disease control phase from 1880-1920 which focused on sanitation reforms, 2) the health promotion phase from 1920-1960 which added services like maternal/child health, 3) the social engineering phase from 1960-1980 which addressed chronic diseases and risk factors, and 4) the health for all phase from 1981-2000 in which WHO pledged to bridge health gaps between developed and developing nations. The focus of public health has evolved from disease control to health promotion to addressing social determinants of health and achieving health for all people worldwide.
