Proposal for Improved Translation and Meaning of “Public Health†in the Republic of Macedonia
Journal Title: Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences (MJMS) - Year 2010, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The translation and use of the term “public health†in the Republic of Macedonia creates confusions among students, professionals and the public. Its use and meaning in Macedonian language is associated more to the ownership over the healthcare system by the state, rather than to explain the primary goal and mission of public health to protect, promote and restore the health of the public. There is a need to clarify, change and standardize the use of this terminology in the Republic of Macedonia. Medical Faculty in Skopje should take leadership by introducing this change in the public health curriculum of the postgraduate studies.
