In de publieke gezondheidszorg draait het om de vraag hoe we de hele Nederlandse bevolking kunnen beschermen tegen risico’s waarop mensen zelf onvoldoende of geen invloed hebben. At the GGDs alone, there are 12,000 professionals – doctors, nurses, researchers and policymakers – who are committed to this every day. How?

Or by monitoring air quality and tackling health damage caused by air pollution. Not to mention the often invisible commitment to safety. To prevent disasters and calamities, or to limit their impact as much as possible.
