These regulations cover a wide range of activities, from controlling infectious diseases and managing environmental hazards to regulating food safety and ensuring access to healthcare services. By setting standards and guidelines, public health regulations help to minimize health risks and protect vulnerable populations. They also play a crucial role in responding to health emergencies and outbreaks, ensuring that coordinated and effective measures are in place to protect public health.
