Introduction

Public health policies in the 19th century was primarily focused on the prevention of diseases. The identification of dirt as the reason for disease and its vehicle of transmission was central to the 19th century public health reforms, as sanitation changed the way in which the society considered health. In the early 20th century, public health policies began to center around preventative measures, such as sanitation and vaccination. During the mid-20th century, public health policies began to expand beyond infections to include chronic diseases, like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
