520			_a"Essentials for Health Protection: Four Key Components is an introductory to intermediate level textbook and reference book for undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as healthcare professionals, non-health actors, and policymakers who are interested in an integrated and comprehensive approach to health protection. Health protection is one of the three major domains of public health, in addition to health improvement and health services. Health protection aims to prevent and manage communicable disease outbreaks and environmental diseases (i.e., communicable and non-communicable diseases and injuries arising from environmental hazard exposures), and to enhance resilience in coping with emergencies and disasters, including those arising from climate change. By introducing the four key areas covering both medical and environmental health protection as identified by the Commonwealth Secretariat in its 'Health Protection Policy Toolkit' document, namely, climate change adaptation and mitigation, communicable disease control, emergency preparedness and environmental health, as well as health impact assessment in all these areas, this book aims to help strengthen regional, subnational, national and global health protection. The whole health protection spectrum from mitigation, interventions and response will be discussed in a comprehensive, contextual, multidisciplinary, and cross-national way. This book will also explore a number of new health protection frontiers. Various textboxes and case examples are included throughout the book to illustrate what the current status of health protection is globally and impart the latest controversies and dynamics that might change the landscape and reality of health protection practices and development. Health protection, public health, climate change, disaster and emergency, communicable/infectious disease, environmental health, multidiscipline, health risk transition, planetary health, Health Emergency Disaster Risk Management.
