Summary
Social and geographical changes have posed challenges to the restructuring of health systems and services in many countries of the world in recent decades and some of them continue to change to the present. Since the end of the 20th century, public health and public health services have faced unprecedented challenges. Countries have faced several health challenges, including communicable and non-communicable diseases. The importance of promoting healthy behavior and addressing the social and economic determinants that make poor health is highlighted by the incidence and social topography of non-communicable diseases and, in many cases, those classified as transmissible. Public health governance is something complex and composed of multifacets, since the organization and provision of public health services involve many different institutions and professions
